Turning my own porch newel posts – blog post 3
Well next week is the forth of July, middle of the year and our porch is still without railing. I am very close to having all the newel posts made. I figure the porch will take 36, then the stairs another 10 or so.
Here is 14 of them primed and painted by my wonderful Sharon.
NOTE: Left Click on the Pics to enlarge. When finished click back arrow to go back to page. The Crabtree Woodworks logo will always take you back to home page
Here are 16 more that I finished turning. I will set up the flute jig tomorrow and rout all the flutes so they can get painted also.
I have also had a lot of practice sharpening /keeping my chisels sharp for this project. It only takes two chisels to turn these posts. A spindle gouge and a parting tool.
I also am excited about my first video. My brother Mike is helping me produce videos that I will put on You Tube for my blog . The first video will start by showing me turning a post, fluting it then going through the steps that complete our porch railing.
Look for it soon.
