How I made a SPHERICON 😃🪵

[@ThePapa1947]

Very nice Chris! The Black Locust looks great for this project.
As a side note I also modeled mine up in CAD just to see what it would look like. And I 3D printed on in halves just for the fun of it.
Keep up the great work,
Gary

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Thanks Gary! I made it in CAD so I could make the template, but I don't have all that technology you kids have like a 3D printer! Thanks for watching and the inspiration!

[@ThePapa1947]

I use CAD for a lot of things where you need to be accurate to make it work. Or just to help me see what things might look like.
Another one coming up soon done that way.
I did find the laser a great way to make the template. Other wise I have made a lot of templates on my CNC mill.
Yes I do like my toys. But the mills were earned their keep for awhile. Figured it might be a good part time job but decided I did not want another job LOL

Very cooool Chris and very nice of you to link the other turners! 😃

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Thanks for watching Val! I wanted to try this, but in no way was this my idea. There are very talented and smart people in this community!

[@BarrysWoodCreations]

Brilliant job Chris 👍 Really fun project mate, done a few different shapes myself now. Thanks for the mention and thanks for sharing.

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Thank you for the inspiration and the view!

[@MarkMcCluney]

At the start there I was hoping you would try turning it with the two clamps on - "c'mon, whaddaya' chicken?" So when I saw you wearing a rubber glove to spread out the CA glue I knew your nerve had gone. Poor Chris. (Joking.)
Brilliant project, magnificently executed, wonderfully enjoyable. Thanks Chris. God bless ya' mate and stay safe.

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

The glo e was totally for you Mark! I turned off the camera and put some on my fingers just cause I miss it! Lol. Thanks for watching Mark, guitar video coming soon. Just finished the build.

Très bien réalisé Chris bravo 👍👏👋

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Thanks Denis!

[@RubenWoodcraft]

Very nice. Still on my to do list this one

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

It's harder and easier than I thought. That statement only makes sense to a wood turner! Thanks for watching Ruben.

[@GaryGlass-DriftwoodTurner]

Very nicely done Chris, and great wee sharpening jig! Thanks for taking time to share

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Thanks Gary!

[@felocarp]

Very cool, Chris! You did a great job with this. Thanks!

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Thanks Greg

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

That's very cool, Chris. I have never seen one of these before, let alone someone turn one. Now I gotta watch the other guys and gal do it. haha Looks great!

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Definitely watch the others, I don't like talking much on videos so I didn't explain anything. Thanks for watching!

[@billm4560]

You did an outstanding job on that one Chris! 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing!

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Thanks!

[@oneturnatatime6309]

Nice work 👌

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Thanks so much!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Well done Bailey. I’m going to have to get that book and go through the process like Heather is doing. Great skill builders and eye training.

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Definitely! Even with a template there are subtle things your eyes pickup. For my first try though, I think it went well. Thanks Doug

[@timponder7487]

Good job

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Thanks

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Lovely job Chris, that looks like a very good project for testing your tool control, i think i might have to have a go at making one of these

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

Thanks Steve, not as many views as a dog, but a good personal challenge

[@jeanlong4285]

Very unusual and quiet beautiful

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

I can't stop holding it and trying to figure it out, even though I made it! Very fun! Thanks for watching!

[@tcgrier]

Cool
