Thats not a bad starting point ?

the ideal size to start turning the lattice is 3mm because it is a small enough size not to break but in fact they can be turned in a number of sizes so experiment to find a size you are comfortable with.

I found when i started again i found my hands stiff so i needed to turn a bigger lattice to get my fingers nimble again.

Now you tell me!

I spent 3 hours grinding away at my grinder trying to flatten the sides of the diamond shaped chisel

I did try it before with the untouched chisel but found the gaps to big for the little 50mm bit of wood...........I will try with a different chisel next time.........always best to practise with different tools as you never now the outcome, do you!

I absolutelly agree, i lost a lot of my chisels when i moved so i had to  buy a couple of different ones to try before i found one i was happy with,

It is possible with lots of tools but there is always one you feel better with.

Here's a quick image of it......excuse the quality, taken in darkened shed

Thats a smashing effort Marc.

Well impressed for a first go.

Baz

I Agree.

Ralph

Thanks guys.........I was quite stunned myself.........I had cut a few discs of Plum wood ready to be stuck in the MDF jig but, when starting it flew off with half the MDF stuck to it. I changed the jig to Pine and that worked a lot better.

All a learning curve...........and I'm enjoying it too thanks to Ralph

Marc

I am happy you are enjoying it ! after all thats what it's all about.
