2011 New Year's noisemaker

Here is this year's very loud noisemaker. If you don't have a lathe, you can just use a dowel for the handle and for the clanger. It's really loud! Big thanks goes to Ron Vieck, who send me a large assortment of wood a few weeks ago: cherry, poplar, cottonwood and some pecan.

  3. Steve,
    I want you to know that when you started your music montage on the lathe sequence I was taking a sip of beer which I ended up spewing all over my computer screen! That's some funny stuff!

  4. You know there is a formula for calculating the bevels of compound miters. It doesn't work out to the same value as the bevels for perpendicular beveled objects. Plus there are charts for determining common values.

    Here is a page that claims it is a calculator for them:

    They also include the formulas they used at the bottom of it. I was first introduced to the whole concept myself in some woodworking magazine I used to subscribe to. Just figured I'd let you know.

    Use the search phrase "compound miter formula" or something similar for more information on the topic.

    Now make more cowbell and do it right!
