Cute little guy. I made some of the earlier versions a couple of years ago and they went over well as Christmas give aways for my friends and family. The other thing that I borrowed from you than went over well was the small hand bell you posted several years back. One thing I do when turning the noses or that could also work for Brother John's hand is to turn them the opposite way to what you do. I form the round part first so it can be totally sanded on the lathe, then part down to a 1/4" tenon, do any final touch ups to the sanding and finishing ( the 1/4" tenon is plenty strong enough for these little things ) and then saw it off with a flush cut saw. I find that way a little faster.

One option, for the fur, wet it, comb it into a part where you want to cut, then... cut.

Over the years I've made the 'original' style of Gnomes that were very popular with family and friends. I can see how these will be perfect companions! Thanks for the great idea.

Seems like a more efficient approach would be to turn the fist and nose on the outboard end and part off the tenon near the chuck. Then you could do the sanding on the lathe.

You are right. I probably should of done them that way.

It was fun while it lasted. My granddaughters still come to visit and have sleepovers. Just not as often and tend to stay glued to their phones and tablets.

What if you don't have or can't afford the jaws? Can you turn these without them?
@MikePeaceWoodturning9 ай бұрын
If you have a chuck, use a larger piece of wood. You can turn between centers but it will take some skill.
