<DIV>Smitty,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Its good to hear that you are back in the shop. After reading
your email, a light bulb went off and I thought that I should look at some
French style rolling pins, cause I didn't know what they looked like.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Leave it to the French to have just a plain tapered rolling pin,
you know with no real handles and all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm not wanting to offend anyone on the list, but they look pretty
simple to turn.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now you got me thinking, that I probably have time enough to crank a couple
dozen out as Christmas gifts. But then I would have to find some people to give
them to.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here are some that are pretty neat looking.</DIV>

has been, well, life. I haven’t done any real woodworking for at least 2
years. My shop turned back into a garage, actually more of a storage unit and
I just haven’t done anything about it. Until now. I’ve got the storage unit
turned back into a shop (still have a few areas to clean up but it’s in
working condition again). And it feels really good to be
back!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri","sans-serif"; COLOR: #1f497d'>So
I wanted to start out with a small project that would be fun and something
that I’ve wanted to do for a while. I’ve continued to cook and bake over the
past 2 years and I’ve decided I really like using a French style of rolling
pin over the flat style. And I am about ¾ Irish married to an Irish/Scottish
lassie, so I decided I’d turn a French style rolling pin with that Celtic knot
thingy in it. I’ve done some research on it and watched a couple of videos,
including Joe’s. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri","sans-serif"; COLOR: #1f497d'>I’ve
got my blank ready – it’s 2 pieces of 5/4 cherry glued together to make a 2 ¼”
x 2 ¼” x 22” long piece. And I’ve got my insert pieces glued up – a sandwich
consisting of 2 pieces of purple heart with a maple center. This glue up is
7/16” thick. So I’m about to make my 1<SUP>st</SUP> cut. I have a tablesaw
sled with a stop set at 20 degrees (for a 70 degree cut). I know the
1<SUP>st</SUP> cut can just be done and I’ve got a glue up jig all ready to go
to glue the pieces together and keep everything nice and straight. But I’m
curious about the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> cut – since my insert is 7/16” thick do I
need to remove 7/16” material so that all of the insert pieces will match up
correctly? Nobody has mentioned having to do that in their videos or write ups
but I don’t want to start up my woodworking hobby with a screw up right away.
