So a couple of weeks ago I bought a little Delta Midi Lathe. Not totally sure why as I have never done any wood working in my life. I had a few ideas of things I would like to make moving forward but figured I should learn a thing to two first. So I signed up with the local Turner Guild and their hands on lessons.
So week 1 was sharpening and to make Honey Dippper or at least start it at the session and then finish at home. After ruining a couple of Chisels on my grinder I got around to finishing my Honey Dipper. But I have run into a problem and am probably to late to correct but would love to know where I went wrong and if I can fix.
Turning between centers I sanded my work and then used parting tool at Handle end cut off the end. I then mounted the dipper in 4 jaw chuck and cleaned up the end and sanded it. Now I have the other end, the business end of the honey dipper. I could not figure out how to cut the end off of that. So I used a hand saw and then tried to shape the end on sander. No luck..
So what I now have is a Honey Dipper with a reasonable sanding job everywhere but the business end.
How should I have parted both ends?
How can I finish the business end so it is as clean and smooth as the rest of the dipper
