next few things won't be quite so small, so it'll be nice to change things up a bit! doing about an 18" diameter cake stand -- well, that's the plan at least!

Were you using one of Ruth Niles' mandrels?
Work holding for the small things can be challenging for me.
thanks! i've got 4 of their bottle stopper mandrels, so i use those with a small wasteblock. then just part 'em off. got the sorby micro set, and also a few other pinnacle smaller tools which work great.

thanks, GNP! oh, and it doesn't come out real clear in the pics, but 2 on the left in the last pic is actually a little piece of small VERY spalted maple in the center -- cutoffs from this pen from a few years ago.
got another one i'm working on now with the last piece from that -- pretty glad to get 3 pendants outta about a 3/4" square piece!

finally found a pin bail that would work, so was able to finish this one up. outside is bloodwood, and the silver ring on the inside is actually a keychain piece that got hosed up when i glued the piece on, so decided to sink that whole thing into the bloodwood.
