I just finished watching you turn a ball. As I watch, I had a thought – before gluing the two halves together, a person could put something inside the ball to create a little mystery as to how they got there — like some little pebbles, marbles, etc.
Alan, I think it’s safe to say that you are the “Master” of segmented everything! Wow! The the only thing I think I would have done differently would have been to make it with lid so that it could be used as a vase or a covered bowl. I enjoy watching your videos, they are both educational and entertaining.
If you get a chance please view my videos on You Tube. You can find them by searching: Richard Katzman, Catskill Tube Flies and Catskill Hook Flies.
Best regards,
Richard
nice video, looks fabulous. I am new to turning, bought the wood lathe 1 month ago, in practice mode right now. Making my own tools as I can not afford the prices I see on the internet.
Oh to be in new learning mode again. 🙂
If making your own tools, do you have metalworking experience?
Making tools can reallocate scarce money to tools you cannot make yourself.
Best to you.

As a kid, we use to take empty thread spools and drive four finish nails in one end. Then we would take string and weave rope. Don’t ask what we did with the rope; I don’t remember. It was an earlier version of your wire bobbin which brought back fond memories of childhood. Keep up the good work.

Like a large adult rattle – Cool idea.
Thanks

Even segmented takes practice as does tying your flies.
Thanks for watching.

I’m happy to help recall good memories.
