Here are some notes I took. Not exactly a set of instructions but then you're all fabulous woodturners and can work it out! Take a look at Kevin's drawing. (click on the images to make them bigger) Turn a wood base on faceplate with wood block ( or chuck) Cut recess for stem Shape surround Turn stem round Tenon for chuck Tidy end 25mm hole with forstner bit in Jacobs chuck. Gouge out drilled hole to about 5mm deep Trim length of outside and shape into a long cove Glue to base Small stem Fast speed gouge to round Add 8mm tenon Shape Round top blank Cut 20mm diameter protruberance 10mm deep Gouge in the point Part a 3mm shoulder All still protruding. Hollow out e.g. with thin parting tool Don't touch shoulder which must stay square Gouge for outside shaping Sand, finish, part off. Reverse into chuck with paper protection Remove top Cut a Concave flat Mark centre Drill 8mm hole for handle Glue handle - I hope at least there are some clues in these notes!
