Below is a paraphrase/edite of Steve's note:
A friend of mine moved to Florida and he decided to learn to turn wood. He bought a JET mini clone and I have been working with him on small turning projects.
Yesterday, I turned a Raffan style lidded rosewood box and he watched. Today he is turning one by himself. I will photograph both boxes and send you the pics when I can. They are East Indian rosewood from a tree in his back yard.
Mark does not have a chuck yet, so we used glue blocks on a face-plate. As I thought about all the steps involved, including sanding and finishing at various stages I realized it was a rather complex lesson for a new turner, so I sat down and sketched out the steps to give to him. Thought some of our members might like to try them. Below are my sketches.
Thanks
Steve
