I had not completed a triple inside out turning for quite a while. So, after seeing Dale Dallon demonstrate an inside out flame, I had to jump back into it and incorporate the refinements I saw in his process.
Some of the refinements include:
- using CA glue dots to hold the first set of staves together
- using strapping tape for security
- cutting a groove for alignment when reversing
- rationalizing the wood preparation based on American Woodturner February 2010
Some facts:
- Board thickness(y) divided by 1.732 or thickness times 0.577 = distance to first cut(x).
- For a given board thickness(y), board width of 7 times x plus 2 saw kerfs is needed where x is the distance to the first cut.
- Subsequent cuts are 2x or y divided by 0.866 or y multiplied by 1.155
- A digital angle gauge is a great tool to set blade tilt.
Enjoy!
