DIAGRAM B / TURNING THE BLANK

Turning the Blank:

• Mount the blank according to Diagram B.
• Turn Nut on Jam Chuck to tighten in hole. Tighten enough to stop blank from slipping.
• Brind up and lock tailstock once Jam Chuck is tightened.
• Using sharp tools, turn the blank to a profile of your choice; reduce the bottom 1/4” as small as possible. This piece is just to allow tailstock support, it will be parted off so the bottom is smooth on the final piece.
• Round the edge near the opening which will help the transition to the top of the flask.
• When ready to sand, part off the support piece using a sharp tool such as a skew.
• Sand the blank, gradually increasing sandpaper grits.
• Finish the barrel using your choice of polish. Allow sufficient time for the polish to cure—refer to polish manufacturer’s instructions.
