Compact Mirror with Inlaid Amboyna BurlTwas the night before Christmas and all through the house, a woodworker was stirring and the lathe kept on turning…

Here is a 5 minute project for all the women on your list.  The compact kits I bought from Penn State Industries along with the specialty mandrel.  You can find them here:

Enjoy the show and good luck getting all your gifts completed and under the tree.  Here’s a hint: don’t wrap them is the finish is still tacky…trust me on this one.

Excellent use of that burl! I’m sure all the ladies in the family will be happy and that, of course, translates to your happiness!

Great video, Shannon. I noticed a small hole in the left side of your lathe’s tool rest. Does it have a purpose?

Also, being a hand plane afficianado, I thought you might like my last blog post:

    Chris, to be honest I have no idea why that is there. I suppose it could be there to allow you to hang it on the wall when changing to a larger or curved rest.

Excellant project. I’ll have to remember these for next year. I too made several pens, bracelets and a bandsaw box for presents. I really enjoyed the lathe work, I don’t get to see enough of the lathe and would like to see more.
