Forget New Year's Resolutions: How To Conduct Your Own Annual Review
If your New Year's resolutions haven't been panning out the way you'd hoped, it might be time to switch gears. This year, why not try conducting your own annual review?
It's almost time to say goodbye to 2014. Hard to believe, isn't it?
Did you accomplish what you'd hoped to this year? Or, a better question: Do you even remember what you'd hoped to accomplish?
If you're like most of us, probably not. It's likely you scrawled a few resolutions onto the back of an envelope on January 1st, only to take it — literally and figuratively — out to the recycling a few weeks later.
For those of you who are seeking change and growth in the coming year, you might be thinking: "There's got to be a better way."
It's time to conduct your own annual review
That's what Chris Guillebeau, the author of "The Happiness of Pursuit," thought — so each December, he started conducting a personal annual review.
Here's how he describes it:
"Every year since 2005, I've spent the better part of a week in late December planning my life for the next year. Overall, this is probably the best decision I've made in terms of working towards multiple goals simultaneously. The idea is to create a road map for the year ahead—not a rigid daily schedule, but an overall outline of what matters to me and what I hope to achieve in the next year."
Interested? We've broken down his process below — so you can decide if it would work for you:
- Make a spreadsheet to record everything; he includes a template in the post
- Review the past year: what went well, what didn't go well, and what goals you achieved
- Divide your life into categories, then create 3-5 measurable goals for each. Some of Guillebeau's categories include business, friends & family, travel, health, and financial
- Determine the actions needed to achieve each goal. He gives this example: If your goal is to run a marathon, you'll need to start running three miles, three times a week
- Add reminders to your calendar to review your goals each quarter
- Lastly, set an overarching theme for the upcoming year
Because a personal annual review encompasses what went wrong, what went right, and what you want to happen in the future, Guillebeau says it can help you feel "excited about future goals and resolved to move on from any failures."
Face it: Your New Year's resolutions haven't been cutting it. (Don't worry; neither have anybody else's.) Personal annual reviews sound like a smart alternative — and we're excited to try them out. Just think of everything you could accomplish in 2015!
Do you create resolutions or goals? Would a personal annual review work for you?

If you were around for my 40x40 list (a list of things I wanted to accomplish by the time I was 40) you may remember that one of those items was to eat at the longest breakfast table in the Cereal Festival in Battle Creek, MI. Obviously, the festival only happens once a year so it just didn't work out until this summer. It was such a fun time! We got up on Saturday morning and loaded up to make the drive. We got there and found the cereal station - because we didn't get there until just before the end there were only a few options for cereal so we grabbed two bowls, got some milk and found a seat at one of the tables.
After the festival we headed to my Mother-In-Laws home for a small family reunion. I took a lot of photos but I just picked out a few to share. We spend the entire afternoon outside (they live on a lake and have a beautifully shaded yard so between the shade and the breeze off the water - it was a fabulous day)
Do you know how you know your kids played hard? When they don't wake up when you get home. Wow. I got Nate out of the truck, carried him inside, changed only his shorts out for PJ shorts (left his tank top on him) and laid him bed. He never once woke up - he just whined a little in his sleep, then when I laid him down, he rolled over and was out. I think he was tuckered out :-)
We do plan on trying to get back to the cereal festival in future years - it's such a fun experience!

Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Joanne Whalley is to play a "strong-willed nun" in Season 3 of Marvel's Daredevil, which is to premiere later this year.
The British actress is best known for her work in Willow, Scarlett and Edge of Darkness.
"We are big fans of Joanne's work and are fortunate that someone of her caliber will be joining our already talented family," Jeph Loeb, the superhero show's executive producer and Marvel's head of television, said in a statement.
"Joanne is a rare talent and a terrific creative collaborator," added Erik Oleson, showrunner and executive producer. "Watching her bring her role to life has the writers all pinching ourselves."
Marvel described Whalley's character Sister Maggie as "a strong-willed nun who speaks her mind and cares deeply about Matt's safety."
Charlie Cox plays Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Deborah Ann Woll plays Karen Page and Elden Henson plays Foggy Nelson on the show. Also returning for Season 3 on a recurring basis is Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk.
The first two seasons of Marvel's Daredevil are now streaming on Netflix.

The Pawtucket Red Sox played a doubleheader in Rochester, N.Y.,
on Tuesday, and that meant the post-game food offerings in the
clubhouse weren't going to cut it. But because the PawSox had
played back-to-back games and then taken a two-hour bus ride to
Syracuse, N.Y., no restaurants were open by the time they arrived
at their hotel - no restaurants, that is, other than the Denny's
next door. Related links
Video: Home at McCoy Stadium, players' appetites well cared
If any PawSox players wanted to get anything at all to eat,
their only option was a Grand Slam Breakfast - hardly the type of
nutrient-packed meal they needed.
But that's the world in which minor-league players live.
When climbing through the minor leagues, players have to try to
eat in such a way that they maximize performance. Fast food is a
no-no. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are a must. Water is
preferable both to soda and to manufactured energy drinks.
But when climbing through the minor leagues, long bus rides and
middle-of-the-night stops for food threaten to thwart that very
goal. When the PawSox take seven-hour bus rides from Pawtucket to
Rochester or Syracuse, they either stop for food at a rest stop on
the New York Thruway or they don't stop at all.
Clubhouse managers traditionally provide food to players both
before and after games, and the quality of that food varies by
minor-league level. For every other meal, players must fend for
themselves despite limited mobility and limited finances.
Every other minor-league team goes through the same routine.
"You're on six-, eight-, ten-, twelve-hour bus rides, and you'll
stop at a gas station or somewhere where there's a McDonald's and a
Taco Bell," said Red Sox infielder Drew Sutton, who has played
parts of eight seasons in the minor leagues. "It's not the easiest
way to eat."
Said PawSox reliever Tommy Hottovy, "If we have a 6 a.m. bus
going to, say, Trenton (N.J.) from Portland, Maine, if you don't
eat anything at 6, we may stop at 11:30 for food at like a
Even once the bus arrives in Trenton - or in smaller
minor-league towns like Hickory, N.C., or Altoona, Pa. - options
are limited. Players are limited to whatever happens to be within
walking distance of the team hotel.
"In the minors, if you really wanted to eat healthy, you had to
bring your own food on the road," Red Sox pitcher Daniel Bard said.
"Half the time you'd be in a hotel and having McDonald's or Waffle
House for lunch. That was all you had for choices."
Said Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, "Sometimes all you can
do is the local pizza joint or whatever fast food is open.
Sometimes that's all you have. You've got to make the best of
FINANCES CAN make life difficult as well.
The average major-league player makes more than $3 million, the
hundreds of players climbing the minor-league ladder are more
likely to make less than $2,000 a month - only during the six-month
season - plus $20 a day for meals. Some players receive six-figure
bonuses when they sign, but others see far less money than
A player making $300 a week after taxes can't very well spend
much money on nutrient-rich food, let alone vitamins and
"It's not like you're in a position where you can go to certain
kinds of restaurants or have certain kinds of supplements or have
access to whatever you want," said Sutton, who received $25,000 as
a signing bonus and used it to buy a car. "I was basically living
on about $150 a week (in the low levels of the minor leagues), so
it doesn't give you a whole lot of options as far as quality food
that you can eat."
That's where Red Sox nutritionist Tara Mardigan comes in.
In an age in which nutrition advice seems to change with the
seasons, Mardigan is charged with making eating well as simple as
possible for players in the Red Sox organization - especially in
the face of very real limitations.
Because players have to be prepared to perform on the field
every day, they can't be too picky with what they eat. They can't
pass up a late-night stop at a fast-food joint simply because the
food there is not as healthy as another option might be.
"The guys that are trying to be very healthy, sometimes those
are the ones I have to encourage along to go ahead and eat,"
Mardigan said. "It's not going to be the most healthful choice at
that hour, but the need for getting fuel in is more important than
being perfectly nutritious. That surprises a lot of people."
PLAYERS HAVE to be a little bit creative to maximize the
nutrients they put into their body - especially so when fast food
is the only option. The option that at first glance seems most
nutritious might not be optimal for a baseball player who has
another game the next night.
"They might get a salad, thinking that's the best choice,"
Mardigan said. "But we all know what the McDonalds' salads are like
- it's iceberg lettuce, and you have to put a whole packet of
dressing on it to make it taste good. In that case, skip the salad
and get the cheeseburger. You don't have to get a Big Mac. You can
get a cheeseburger or two - or, God forbid, a hamburger. You don't
have to get the fries - or, at least, don't get the big one. If you
brought an apple along, eat that. You can take something and make
it less disastrous by adding something that's good."
"Less disastrous" sums up the theme for much of what Mardigan
discusses with Red Sox players. It's impossible to eat a perfectly
healthy meal at a roadside Pizza Hut at 1 a.m., but there are ways
to make it healthier than it otherwise would be.
"You don't have to have a whole pizza," she said. "You can split
the pizza with a few guys. Instead of getting pepperoni and sausage
and heavy meats on top, you can get vegetables - green peppers, red
peppers, onions, mushrooms. You can pat off the grease and have a
salad on the side. I tell them, 'Get the pizza and eat it, but tote
along an apple or a banana.' If there's food that's healthy that
you've brought along with you, you've set up a decent meal."
Bard and PawSox first baseman Lars Anderson both played at
Single-A Greenville in 2007 under the tutelage of Gabe Kapler, who
cared passionately about his players' fitness and nutrition.
"One of the things that Kap used to talk about is how to make an
F diet a C diet," Anderson said. "If you don't have great options,
you can take a meal that's just absolutely terrible for you and
choose something that's obviously not ideal but is better for you
than the food that's terrible."
But that requires quite a bit of advance planning. Pizza Hut or
Taco Bell won't have many C diet ingredients on the menu at 1 a.m.,
and that means a player is at the mercy of what he brought with
With the influence of Kapler still showing, Anderson brings
almond or cashew butter, honey and rice cakes with him on road
trips so he'll always have something healthy to eat.
BUT BUYING specialty foods like almond butter requires financial
sacrifices for players making $2,000 a month. It's not until a
player gets added to the 40-man roster that he makes a minimum of
$32,500 a year. Everything must be done with the bottom line in
Those same financial restrictions are why energy drinks like
Monster and Red Bull make Mardigan pull her hair out.
"That's an example of, 'Let's prioritize the money that you do
have,'" she said. "Instead of choosing to rely on those for your
energy, eat a little bit better and hydrate. It'll cost you less as
opposed to the energy drinks at three bucks a can."
Once a player gets to the major leagues, of course, he has it
made. Even a first-time call-up is earning a pro-rated portion of
$414,000 a year. On top of that, he has all the food he can eat in
the clubhouse both home and away. A Single-A player might have
access only to peanut butter and jelly in his clubhouse, but a
major-league player has three choices of entr�e meats,
fruits and vegetables galore, and, incidentally, even an ice-cream
"That's why you see us all the time eating - guys who come up,
you see them eating all the time," Sutton said. "You've never been
where you've got this kind of access to this kind of food."
Sutton paused briefly, gesturing toward the well-stocked
beverage cooler in the corner of the Fenway Park clubhouse.
"In the minors, there's not things like that where there's just
bottles of water everywhere, energy bars, coffee," he said. "You
just don't see this in the minors. When guys come up here, it's
like Christmas."

I am looking for referrals for a third party company to handle our safety program and compliance. We used Safety Services previously to create our HSE manual but I am looking for more of a consultant that will customize our program to our actual work/industry and also help with record keeping, compliance, job site inspections and as a representative for safety issues when needed. With the constantly increasing safety requirements, we are no longer able to keep up on our own, but aren't yet at the stage that we are big enough to have a full time, dedicated safety person on staff.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you!------------------------------Michelle Walker CCIFPVice President Finance & AdministrationSpecialized Services Co.Phoenix AZ(602) 997-6164------------------------------

Are you interested in Disney collecting but are not sure what to collect? What about those items that you can't always afford to purchase but love to look at and enjoy.
One of the favorites for me are the Thomas Kincaid Disney paintings. He started with the Disneyland 50th Anniversary painting of Sleeping Beauty Castle and quickly expanded from there into Disney movies. His paintings are incredibly detailed and exquisite to look at, yet for the average person you simply can't go get a painting every week or every trip. Something like this is a rare purchase but very fulfilling. We started a Disney Art collection years ago, but I am actually saving right now to purchase an actual Kincaid Oil Painting in the one to two thousand dollar price range. The nice thing about this is it will only go up in value over the years.
There are some things that people collect that are not worth displaying. These low end items tend to be boxed up and stored instead of enjoyed on a daily basis. Take for example a Disney Key Chain collection. This is one thing I collect because it is inexpensive and easy. Key Chains are small and easy to take on an airplane and fit into luggage with no problems, but do I keep them out where I can see them each day? No, definitely not.
One thing worth collecting are Disney Books. There are a few that have shot up in price over the years almost instantly. The original Nickel Tour book is valued over $2000 now and the reissue from a few years ago is close to $1000 in value. I have the reissue copy of the book and refuse to part with it. I have only opened it once, but for me it is sentimental. I wanted that book so badly and then one day, the reissue happened and I was thrilled. That book will remain in my book case.
The Story of Walt Disney by Diane Disney Miller is worth money and I am actually selling that book in mint condition still shrink wrapped. This book is actually a reprint from a book in the 1950's and was issued in paperback and hard back. The paperback has no value, yet the hardback copy easily sells for over $500 dollars. I got the book for Christmas one year and never opened it. To be honest I have never opened more than half of my Disney books. Why? Because I always hope to find one with a high value years later.
Disneyland Paris: From Sketch to Reality is now worth money and I happen to have a signed copy of the book. It is also for sale right now. This book is absolutely amazing with the pictures and sketches inside. I purchased it signed and put it up on the book case to wait until an appropriate time to sell it. I have another book signed by Tony Baxter that I will not part with at this time. Tony Baxter is a hero of mine.
A lot of people collect Disney Pins. These are hard to display unless you have a book or something similar for display. Several years ago I went to the local mall every Saturday morning for a few months to get all of the 100 Years of Dreams. I also bought the book made especially for this 100 pins and then I put it in storage. Yep. I worked hard to get all of the pins and put them in a book but I still never look at them. Over a thousand dollars worth of pins in a box in the attic. Now it is for sale.
There are also a few high end collectibles that are worth storing. I have a beautiful silver Mickey Mouse Porringer that is actually in the collectors book that I got for a great price on EBay years ago. Silver is constantly going up in value so even though this item is in storage it is not worth selling at this time.
This brings me back to this question: Why buy it if you are going to box it up? Think carefully about the storage of the item(s) you buy before you leave the Disney Parks with a purchase.
Books are easy to store. Most people have a bookcase in their house, and books are loved and enjoyed. Keep in mind if you are buying with the idea of selling though, the less you touch it the better it will be. Most books are not so expensive, so if you really want to read it and look at it, buy two copies. I did this with Disneyland Through the Decades. This is an absolutely beautiful book inside and out and I loved it enough that I bought it twice and didn't know it. I still love the book and now have one I can actually enjoy.
Disney Art is another item that has easy storage but it is much more expensive. Most pieces of Art hand on the wall where they can be enjoyed every day. They usually don't sit in storage in the attic.
Some people collect the Big Figurines, which are beautiful but not practical if you have no place to display these larger items.
Clocks are one of my collections that we love to have displayed as is easily seen in our family room. Again, most of these hang on the walls and can be seen every day. In one room we have over twenty clocks, but it looks appropriate for the room and is something we can enjoy.
As I write this there are several inexpensive pieces of Disney Art on our table waiting to be hung on the walls. Of course, when I get my Kincaid Oil we will have to find the perfect spot.
The toughest thing with High End Collectibles is the quandary of whether to display them or store them. My feeling is that if you go to the time and expense to purchase a high end collectible, you want to display it.
The 100 Years of Dreams pin set that is in a book can be a coffee table book. My Disneyland: The Nickel Tour can be a coffee table book. The nice thing is that you purchased the item and can do with it as you choose.
Yes, my silver porringer is in storage, but it is safe from harm in storage. One day it may pay for something big for our family.
You have to determine immediately upon purchase one thing. Do you plan to sell this item for profit later? If that is the case, storage is usually the appropriate solution for these items.
I have most of my clocks on display with no intention of selling them any time soon.
If you choose to display it is important to keep the original packaging for reselling purposes. A written document with a date of purchase and purchase price is also good to leave in the box. Cash register receipts fade and become unreadable, so writing it yourself is a good idea. Years later you won't remember the when and how much but it is good to have that information.
Now one thing I will caution. Sometimes it takes a little luck. Both to purchase, and to resell a high end collectible. It may take luck to find the perfect item. And if you purchase with the intent of selling later, it takes luck to find the right item. You can't know when purchasing a book that it will be worth over a thousand dollars in five years. That takes a little bit of luck.
So enjoy your high end collecting. I am enjoying the hunt right now, knowing exactly which piece of art I will purchase is not the issue. It is coming up with the money to bring my new baby home, and yes, I will most definitely display my art, just as I display my clocks. Because if you can't enjoy it why have it? (The reason a big part of my collection is for sale right now)

Abstract: We experimentally demonstrate a single-pumped, non-degenerate phase-sensitive parametric amplifier with a precise control of phase and amplitude of the in-going waves and investigate in detail its gain, attenuation and saturation properties in comparison with operation in phase insensitive amplifier (PIA) mode. We experimentally observe the variation of the gain and attenuation as a function of the relative phase, pump power and the signal-idler power ratio. The phase sensitive gain spectrum is studied over a 24 nm symmetrical bandwidth and we achieve a maximum phase sensitive amplification (PSA) gain of 33 dB. A departure from the theoretical maximum attenuation as the gain increases is observed and explained.

Article: Mark Sfirri Demonstrates For Carolina Mountain Woodturners, October 15, 2016
October 18, 2016 15:34, submitted by Tina Collison (author: Ross Lynch, photos by Tina Collison)
Mark Sfirri demonstrates for Carolina Mountain Woodturners, October 15, 2016
Mark Sfirri comes to us from Newtown, PA. He is an artist and has been a teacher for 36 years at Buck County Community College. He is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. He is an artist with an interest in wood architecture-generally, not just furniture making. He is not into round symmetrical objects and his signature work is "Rejects from the Bat Factory" (one display in the Minneapolis Institute of Art and another owned by the Smithsonian Institute). This work was inspired by his son asking for a hollowed end baseball bat. His first demonstration for CMW was in 2004.
Mark has kindly provided several handouts on his turning tool profiles, instructions on how to turn his type of candlestick and turning the pad foot. Links to these handout are on the right side of this page.
Attached is a copy of the first article about Mark's wood art in the AAW Journal from June 1993:http://s3.amazonaws.com/cmwt.production/paperclip/files/873/SFIRRI_Article_from_1993_AAW_Journal.pdf?1476822810
The first part of the morning demonstration was a slide display of his work and evolution. This was recorded on his demonstration DVD available in the CMW Library. He does straight turning and curves and multi-axial. An example is the "inch worm bat". Part of the process is to draw a straight bat then cut and reassemble to figure where it needs to be flat. He makes figurines, pieces from 8 to 10 inches up to 6 feet. He showed a short video of a large piece spinning on the lathe to emphasize the importance of being sure wood is very secure on the lathe. Another example was a work called Madonna and Child. These were multi-axial "bowling pin" shapes turned on 3 different axes. He frequently will make a form for the sake of a form and then figure out what to do with it. He makes some furniture occasionally and has applied the multi-axial candle stick concept for table legs. He will frequently make a construct out of clay first so he will know how it will turn out. He used this concept in his "French bread" pieces while in France. Occasionally he will make miniatures first and often will use cheap wood to try a new project before using special wood. His works also include whimsical hunting trophies and columns with spheres and carving for functional items like coat racks.
After this review Mark started to turn wood. First he showed us a split turning on a piece of 3x3x8 inch wood which was made by having glued together, with paper in between, two 3x1-1/2x8 inch pieces. (Any paper other than wax paper will do for the paper interface). He pointed out that the grind on all his tools for spindle work are ground at 32 degrees. He stands with his feet shoulder width apart so that he can easily shift his weight. To be good you have to know how to sharpen tools and turn blind--meaning to watch the profile not the tool. There are 3 types of spindle gouges: standard (with a fairly deep flute), detail and the shallow detail (see Handout links, upper right.) He prefers the detail gouge at 32-degree grind. He also tapers a small radius and explained his shape and profile (see Handout links, upper right.) He also uses a bowl gouge-5/8 inch shaped like his spindle gouge. His roughing gouge is a 1.25 inch also with a 32-degree grind.
Mark emphasized the need to get good at doing coves, beads, and straight lines. He also explained shape as two dimensional and form as three. He used the detail gouge for half beads and the roughing gouge to shape the cove. To deepen the cove, he changes to the detail gouge. He explained how to keep the cutting part of the roughing gouge perpendicular to the wood for smooth even non-catching cuts. While discussing all this he had used a spring punch to mark the center point of this glued block of wood and placed it between centers. He turned coves towards each end and a bead in the center. He then took the piece off the lathe and split it in half thru the paper interface. He remounted the piece between centers again at the midpoint of the diameter. He marked in dark ink where he wanted to cut making the thick areas thin and leaving the thin areas now thick.
Another technical point is that he used a contrasting color(cloth) on the ways and a panel behind the lathe to contrast with the wood so he can see the shape. Black for most wood, white for dark woods. He will also put gaffer black matte tape on the banjo. You must learn to touch not rub the bevel for this "interrupted cut" (air-cut). This takes very light cuts. After turning this on two center he had a pleasing form with a flat back-can be used as trim. If you do the same process with four (4) pieces of wood instead of two (2) you will get pieces with two flat sides instead of one.
The next project was to show us how to make a reject bat. Mark demonstrated the ball passing through the bat. He first took the rectangle of wood (he suggest start small-ie: 2x2x12) and showed us on the ends how to mark your centers. This is multi-axial with parallel center so the off-set is enough to leave a bump to create the passed thru ball. Be sure the entire cup center is in the wood. Mount between center in the non-centered axis and make a partial cylinder, leaving the high point for the ball. You can mark the end of the piece to give you a guide how far is safe to go without messing up the project. As the piece becomes balanced you can turn up the speed which makes the interrupted cuts easier.
Mark where you want the ball and with the bat sort of round make a SOFT bead while roughing in the shape of the bat. Now go to axis #2 which is the center (of original piece of wood) and cut the cove. You are at the bulge so you can be close to the wood. Make a symmetrical cove. He starts with a bowel gouge because it is less "grabby". Do very light cut always downhill with the grain. The cove needs to be center at center of the bead and also a little wider than the bead.
Now go back to axis one and use the detail gouge to round the ball bump. Go to the ends of the bat and cut hard beads. Leave 3/8 inch of wood on each end. For beads you bring the handle of the tool from 6 to 3 and 6 to 9 positions. For the hard bead you need to straddle the leg of the lathe and continue the handle further around. To continue to shape the bat use a metal rule to be sure the handle side of the ball is approx. 1/8 inch narrower than the end side of the ball. He did show at this point techniques to steady the tool and the wood to decrease vibration. For sanding he suggested paper backed floor sanding paper starting at 100 grit up to 220. It holds it shape and will keep you from rounding the cuts. If the cuts were not clean enough he talked of using rasp. He suggested Auriou French rasp or stewmac.com rasp. The French are best but more expensive. After sanding narrow the "tenons" on the end and remove from the lathe. Use a Veritas Japanese pull cut saw to remove the stems. Safe handling of chisel or carving tool for finishing the ends was discussed. Basically a small amount of the end of the chisel is held by the finger and a pivot cut is used. do not have the holding hand above the cut level!
After lunch Mark showed how to make a series of spheres on a 2x2x6 inch piece of wood. He showed two methods of making templates. one a round piece sized by a compass. You make as many as you need for the size wood and then use thin sign plastic and rub it on a made sphere. It will melt and create a template so you can be sized and shaped symmetrically. A tip was to start slightly football shaped. Then you can bring them into final form.
Next Mark made the Squiggle. He uses a rectangle 1-7/8x1-3/8. He then drew a centerline and two more at 1/3 of the diameter. The lines are drawn on the parallel. The cup centers need to be completely on the wood. Mark one end with an H for headstock. From diameter end to end number the axis as 1-3-2. Now put between centers at axis 1-1 and begin rounding. Mark the end so you don't turn away too much and lose your cup center points. Use very straight grain wood for this. Burls will break.
Now remount on 2-2 axis. Once turned it will be football shaped. Mark the wood cut and a cove -bead-cove. Remember if you get a catch the first move is to drop the handle. Now re-mount the piece back on axis 2-2. It is counter-intuitive but at this point, turn bead-cove-bead to make the thick part thin and the thin parts thick. Now re-mount again on "true" center 3-3 axis. Cut where the cove is going up and the bead is going down at ends to finish the form. If making a figurine shape a head at one end and a stand on the other.
The next project that Mark demonstrated was an offset angled rolling pin. Start by drawing a rolling pin on a piece of paper. Draw a center line from handle to handle. Cut off the handles and then cut the body in half. Tape the body pieces back together. Match up to look bent or to look offset move center line. Tape the handles back on in the center lines. We now have 3 sets of axis. 1-1 is half the rolling pin. 2-2 is the other half. 3-3 is the handles. Now you can cut the blank into a rough template. Mount between centers and turn 1-1 axis for half the rolling pin. On the part that is sticking out proud place a "flag" of tape to help you keep your hands and arms out of the way.
Sand each axis as it is turned. Now do axis 2-2, the 2nd half of the rolling pin. Use calipers to be sure both sides are equal diameter. If they are new calipers, file the points round so they won't catch. They are for comparison not measuring. Now mount on axis 3-3. To turn the handles cut down into the wood at the bottom of the handle with a detail gouge and finish with the roughing gouge. Take off the end stems as you did on the other projects.
The final project of the day was Mark's famous candle sticks (see handout link on right side of the page.) A good size is a 3-3/8x 3-3/8x12 inch piece of wood. On the end place a center line across the square. Leave enough room for the cup center and then 3/8" over you need to drill a 7/8' x1" hole. The hole needs to be perpendicular to the axis. To drill the hole, clamp the blank to a piece of 3x6 and angle until lined up. Then drill the hole on the drill press. You will need to make a plug that is relatively tight that will bottom out in the hole. You will need this later and will need the center point of this plug, otherwise the candle hole may be too thin or thick on one side. You want a large bottom and a center disc.
