Hard to get whisper clean edges on the points. The sycamore face looks like it has bandsaw teeth marks but it is super smooth grain.
This is what happens when you use a bulb too big a size & too high a wattage, the translucent plastic back plate has suffered a melting!

Yet again I need better lighting! The camera flash shows it all up.
But I am getting a feel for how accurate we need to be in the future.
Most of the centre will be carved out anyway so we won't see my deliberate mistakes.
How should I tackle it?
Sand both flat faces on each of the 2 disks.
Drill a 3mm centre hole through both disks.
Use drill to line up the disks and glue.
Turn a top mahogany piece in the lathe between centres, so that it will fit into the chuck.
Put it in the chuck and align with tail stock and tighten.
Now turn it true and part the end with a nice 90 degs flat.
Drill a centre hole for aligning with a drill to the disks.
Remove the chuck from the Lathe with piece still attached.
Glue this flat end, (centred by a drill), on top of the two disks, grain parallel to the Knob bottom.
Mount the assembly back on the Lathe.
Turn its cures and carve out the concave bottom and bottom rim.
Drill hole out to 5.8mm
Turn the top until it parts off.
Are we mad!!
There are between 1.5 and 2 million images uploaded here to Flickr every day. Then there is Instagram, 500px, and Imgur to name but a few more sites hosting pictures. And there are many other places to view the photogrpahs taken in their millions every day.
I'm sure that I am not the only one who has wondered what, if any, significance my pictures have in the great scheme of photographic life, and felt at times that there is nothing new in photography, and that I am doing no more than reinventing the wheel with my own efforts.. Despite that, I have striven to try and produce at least a few original images for my Photostream, and spent many hours trying to think up new and original ideas.
The idea behind this image is to take a fairly ordinary scene, but just focus on a segment of it, not in the way of a close up or macro, but showing a larger view of that scene.
Thinking about it, a photograph is simply a segment of time, captured in an image, and I wondered if it would further enhance a photo by segmenting the space, as well as the time aspect.
So this image, and the others like it are the results of putting the idea into practice. And I am pleased enough with the results of this experiment to look out for more images like these. Perhaps it may even turn into a project. Of course, It is not a totally unique way of presenting an image, but it is the doing of it intentionally, that I have not seen before.
Phil paced Ingrid from Sierra at Lake Tahoe to the Big Meadow trailhead parking lot - approximately 20 miles. Ingrid solo'd the 60.4 miles from Homewood to Sierra without sleep, and was pretty shagged.

Day 9
Salida, CO to Avalanche Trailhead (Segment 13) to random campsite (Segment 12)
Darryll arrived on time with his son, Adam, and then we met Brenda and Satori at Princeton Hot Springs. They dropped off a car there. It took much longer to get to their trailhead. I was dropped off at Avalanche trailhead (once we found it) about 3 miles away. Thanks for the rides.
The climb from Avalanche was pretty tough but manageable, of course. My knee did start to hurt though. Brenda had given me some wrap to try which I will tomorrow. At the top it was not above treeline. Mount Yale was nearby. It looked like a nice place to camp.
The downhill was also tough but OK. I met 2 groups doing trail maintenance. Thanks for the Hard Work! One was at Silver Creek trailhead. I stopped and helped them move a rock and then I took a short break.
It started to rain, so I started hiking in Segment 12 now. The rain didn't last but maybe 5 minutes though. It was a long haul to the top, about 9 miles where I finally set-up camp. No other rain threatening until now. I actually though I might get a sunset. Oh well!
I did see a handful of hikers, so everyone didn't do the West side, which I would have suggested. 16.1 total miles for the day.

Segment 11 Dayhike
I camped at Clear Creek Reservoir CG. For a free campground it is nice. Unfortunately for me, I setup right next to a group that was rather loud. Somehow I managed to get some sleep. The trailhead for Segment 11/12 was right near here, off of County Road 390. I was hiking by 0700.
In 2017, I had hobbled to the dirt road with a bum leg. I caught a hitch back to my car and the end of my hike for that year. Now I was continuing to the spot where I turned around yesterday and the completion of Segment 11. The trail started off with a long switchback, while overlooking Clear Creek Canyon. Some nice views.
The trail then follows some dirt roads and some powerlines. There is a historical site near Cache Creek. Evidently gold has been found in the area. Digging is not allowed here though. I didn't find any gold.
For a very short distance the trail uses Forest Service Rd 398. There is a large atv/jeep camping area here.
Upon returning to the trailhead, I noticed some 'trail magic' of 2 cans of soda behind a large rock. Trail Magic is an Appalachian Trail thing. Sometimes hikers encounter caches of things left for their use. It is usally appreciated but it can create a problem because hikers don't like to carry trash. Fortunately I did not see any leftovers strewn about. I've encountered this type of trail magic a few times on the Colorado Trail. I leave it for the next hiker.
Overall it was an easy hike. 4.9 mile hike to the turnaround point. Segment 11 was finished and was great for acclimating to the elevation. Next day to Spring Creek Pass, Segment 22, to continue hiking.
this segment of trail contours the hillsides far too much. The lack of any significant grade forces the trail to cover frivolous mileage just to gain or lose elevation. I'd say SKIP IT. I'm not a purist though, and I don't understand the mindset of meticulously hiking each and every mile of the PCT. Wendy and I shaved off all kinds of miles from the PCT after the San Felipe Hills. Why? Well don't like hiking for the sake of hiking. We're going somewhere, we're seeing things - we're not using the PCT as a replacement for a treadmill. We're not using the PCT as an excercise machine.
Okay, off my soapbox. The San Felipe Hills were a pretty area, and the wildflowers were bountiful. Indeed worth visiting.
