Mousing Around With Woodturning - How To Capture A Mouse

https://www.AsWoodTurns.com

I want to turn a couple of mice refrigerator magnets for small gifts. A mouse is not a mouse without a long tail. In the past I would turn a mouse and then figure out how to drill a hole in its backside for a tail.

With some advance planning, holding a mouse becomes almost trivial. But holding a mouse on a wood lathe is not the whole story. There are a couple more operations off the lathe where holding a small round mouse is important for the safety of both the mouse and me - the operator.

Let's see what they are.

BTW my sanding pad is also mounted to my lathe using a #2 Morse taper collet to hold the 1/4" shank of my sanding pad. Then a piece of 3/8" all thread serves as a drawbar to keep the collet and pad secure in the lathe spindle.

Enjoy!
