Honduros Twists

[ROBERT SCHUMAN]

Is anyone familiar with gear ratios and twisting?

[John Hart]

Nice worm gears you made there! Now lets see the rest of the machine!!! Seriously....great work Robert! This is something I'm pretty sure I'll never do.

That is great work and your should be very proud of it.

I took a class for Stuart Mortimer (from England) last summer and he does this type of work by hand with onyl a rasp and some sanding supplies. He also makes some bueatuful Spiral turned vases and I adopetd his sprial work to make some of my Christmas tree bulbs that I have posted here. You can check out some of his work at http://www.stuartmortimer.com/ I would recommend that if he ever comes to your area try to attend his classes.
