Woodturning Inside Out 3 Stave Art Flame

Inside Out FlameThis video is also posted to YouTube, Vimeo, and FaceBook. But you’re already here, aren’t you?

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!
