This year I decided to turn a miniature ornament for the challenge. Turning something this small is not as fast as I thought it would be. You have to slow down and make small cuts.
It also gave me a chance to put some new tools to use. I made the miniature scraper and detail tool using some HSS I bought online:
Thanks to Carl Jacobson and Alan Stratton for hosting the Ornament Challenge.
