Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I show you my method of making wooden bracelets on the lathe.
I begun by making a paper template using a compass cutter.
I then roughly cut my blank on the bandsaw.
After turning the blank between centres I created a tenon for my chuck.
I then chucked the piece and started hollowing it with a bowl gouge.
You can use bowl gouges all the way. But I like to use the hook tool to clean the bottom.
After sanding the piece I parted it off.
With the wood that remained on the chuck I made a cone which I will use later on the process.
Using another scrap piece I made a jam chuck. The tenon on the chuck was slightly tapered at one degree or maybe a hair less.
Next I centred the cone on my tailstock and then I pushed it against the bracelet to fit it on the jam chuck as centered as possible.
Now, I can easily sand and shape the other side of the bracelet.
Once I finished sanding I buffed the piece on the wheel with carnauba wax.
And that was it. My bracelet was ready. It’s an easy project if you follow the right steps. See you soon with a new project video.
