After losing pieces left right and center I finally managed to get this together! First off I lost the bolt from which this was turned and then once I got the first one turned I lost the cup drive! It will all show up again eventually.... but when you want to turn something now.... eventually just doesn’t cut it!
I believe that I will make more of these down the road... I think that there may be shapes which will help certain projects even more... but unless it is an earth shatteringly new concept... I think you will have seen enough points for now!
Surprise surprise! I managed to save some of the shavings too! Little curlicues of brass look pretty cool! Some day there may be a project that will require some brass hair or something! Sure a good thing I don’t work in a metal shop!
I thought I would try something a little different with the video this time... This was my first talk over and I think that it went pretty well... the shorter video made it easier... I think a longer one with me in it would just be a little too much! Different sitting in front of two cameras and a microphone! Sort of like writing... without the pen! Another thing to add to the idea bank!
Now I just have to get back out there and come up with a Christmas ornament... I have a whole lot of wood to choose from here too! Now to choose the right ones! There’s a foggy image of what I want.. But of course... as always... we’ll see what the wood says!
I think I am going to do a shameless plug for my other channel here too! I know it’s not a turning channel but there are lots of people out there who like other things too! It would be nice to be able to share more of this part of the world... with the rest of the world too!
So till next time I hope you have projects that knock people’s socks off!
Thanks for watching
Bye for now

Charger (table setting)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Place setting with red charger.
Charger plates or service plates are larger decorative plates used to dress up dinner tables at parties, weddings, and other special events. While the charger plates have been around since the 19th century, they returned to popularity in the late `90s. Since food is not actually served on chargers, they are often called underplates or chop plates.[1] The word charger originated around 1275 - 1325 from the Middle English chargeour. Formerly, a charger signified either a large platter or a large, shallow dish for liquids.[2]
They are usually larger than most common dinner plates. Since they are not used for food, charger plates can be found in a variety of materials, from traditional china, to metal, wood, glass, plastic and pearl. And they may be decorated with substances that can be toxic if ingested.
Charger plate etiquette and use varies among caterers and restaurants. Some professional catering companies remove the decorative charger plate as soon as the guests are seated. More commonly, charger plates are kept on the table during the serving of soups and first courses, and act as a base on which food-bearing bowls and dishes are placed. In other instances, when the design of charger plates complements the design of dining plates, charger plates are left on the table throughout the course of meal. However, charger plates are always removed before serving desserts.[1]
