I was asked by a forum member to give a description of the method I use to turn my captive ring rattles, so I put together my method in a PDF format so it will not take up a lot of space. Hopefully everyone that is interested can open this document. There are many ways this can be done and I am sure they all work but this is the way I do it, so enjoy.

Very good. It was easy to follow and hit all the high points. Have you ever considered writing an how to book on turning?? Thanks.

thank you.

very understandable and helpful.

that's a nice rattle, too.

Wow. Thank you. A very timely post. Last night I attended a turning class at Woodcraft. It was 5 years since I went to the traveling academy, and haven't turned since that one experience. Now I have a reason to price on spindles.
Your instructions are excellent. I will now attempt to make a rattle or a lovely pile of sawdust.
Thanks, Gary

You know, if you make them without those rings you don't have all that racket. Silent baby rattles.

The dozen grand-kids are all older than that. It's all great-grand-kids now. About a dozen at last count. I think the oldest of those is 11. Family gatherings are a hoot...

Francis, why is it that I get the feeling that whenever you are around,"it is a hoot"? Family gatherings are probably something that your whole family looks forward to.

Ron:

I'm not a turner but often wondered how that was done.

Thanks for the lesson.
