Rocker legs


I recently sent off an article about making the leg in the vise. This is the first time that I took the photos for an article. I got good at using my tripod and the camera's timer. This is what my bench looked like after the last shot.



Now I can continue with the rocker. I've milled my leg blanks, routed cross-grain, and knocked off the corners. This makes turning a bit easier but I think I do it for the kindling.

  

Here I am readying the blanks for the lathe. On my workbench, we can see the bowling bench is back with its slick, freshly woven seat. 



This is a typical timer shot. We can see the chips flying and a fully-turned leg in the back.
