Turning a mystery toy Part 2

Woodturner Joe Larese shows how he makes a toy that is great practice for refining skills necessary for making goblets and boxes.

Fun lil project for sure.....always made in pairs. When the kids got good catching the ball...I'd give them a second one......one in each hand. Fun for them and definitely fun to watch. Lotta laughs. Thanks Joe 👍

That’s great Lefty. Never thought to do that!

Nice job Joe. The sanding trick with the sand paper wrapped around the mandrel was good. Some masking tape around the cup might have helped to hold it on to finish up the end.

I always sell a lot of those cup and ball toys at craft fairs.

That’s great, you should tell your customers what Lefty said, and double your sales!
