I had prepared a blank along the lines of Derek Cohen's examples to take down to dad's during a belated Mother's Day visit. While my brother helped dad install his replacement PC and LOML and her mom chatted it up with my mom . . . I snuck off to dad's lathe for about a half hour.
This is only the third thing I've ever turned so be nice:
The hole was drilled before turning. I left the ends on to provide support for the tapping. Probably not really necessary but the set screw sure went in nice with pre-cut threads.
I didn't put any finish on because I wanted to test drive it for awhile and see if it was a keeper. I think I already like it.
