🥰 I did it! I solved the wood breaking issue. NOW I need to make a cap and finial and we'll have an ornament.
@Brisse whoa that's sweet. Tagging in @BosmangBeratna once again. You seeing this?

I'm completely intimidated by lathes. S'weird. Spinning blades: good. Spinning material: eeek
@b4cks4w To be honest, table saws and miter saws scare the fuck outta me. I won't stand inside the workshop when they're in use. The band saw is the only saw I'll use. Which is perfect because it cuts everything I need it to easily. Well except the miters for these ornaments, but I asked someone else to cut them for me. @BosmangBeratna
@BosmangBeratna Me too, to my dad 😂 I do the woodturning, he does the cutting. Anyways, not that the prototype bulb is finished, I have to go out and clean a workbench to make room for new tools. 🤫 @b4cks4w
@b4cks4w This is a prototype of the ornaments that someone asked for custom. 🥰 Well the midsection. In order to make the circle pieces to not blow apart on the lathe I had to sand the top and bottom and add end caps.
