Material

Black-walnut disk, 6 1/2" diameter and 1" thick. Black-walnut disk, 3 3/4" diameter and 1/2" thick. Black-walnut disk, 2" diameter and 1/2" thick. Black-walnut, 3/8" x 3/8" x 4".

Exercise

To turn the pieces composing the stand shown in Fig. 108.

The base, shown in Fig. 109, and the standard, shown in Fig. no, require no special instruction as to the manner of turning: the piece shown in Fig. in - a quarter of a ring - may be turned from the 2-inch disk by fastening it to a wooden chuck with a screw, and turning one side of it, then changing it on the chuck so that the other face is outermost, and turning that face, and so completing the ring, which may then be sawed to the required shape. The piece shown in Fig. 113 is made from the larger disk by fastening it to a face-plate or to a wooden chuck and turning the back, then turning it over and fastening it to the same plate or chuck by screws that do not pass quite through it, and then cutting the front side, using the same methods for getting the proper form that were used in the regular sixth exercise. The holes left in the back by the screws used to hold it to the chuck may be filled with small plugs of the same material as that of which the piece is composed. The pieces shown in Fig. 112 are glued in place, as are also the other pieces.

Where turned work is used in the construction of house furniture, this method of turning the parts separately and then fastening them together is freely used. An illustration of combined sawed and turned work is shown in Fig. 114.
