At this point, I mounted a one inchdiameter s<strong>and</strong>ing disk holder in my drill <strong>and</strong>using 80 grit s<strong>and</strong>paper, I was able to smooth theball much more. This had to be done on all threemountings of the ball. Unfortunately, the VicmarcChuck could not adequately hold the cube afterone of the surfaces had been concaved, <strong>and</strong> I hadto move to the Nova DVR with my Nova TitanChuck to hold the sphere when concaving thesurfaces.Figure 19. Shows me turning one of the surfacesof the cube into a concave shape. I used a ½-inchbowl gouge with the Ellsworth grind on it to makethese cuts.Figure 20. I s<strong>and</strong>ed each surface with 80 grits<strong>and</strong>paper on a 3”-diameter s<strong>and</strong>ing disk holder<strong>and</strong> finished with 220 grit as shown here.Figure 18. This photo shows the cube mounted inthe Nova Titan Chuck with the surface concaved.This chuck did an excellent job of holding thecube. I finally wound up using only two of thewooden inserts the hold the cube.[Contued on Page 38]Page 37 More Woodturning June 2010
