Hobbyist here – with another question, this time regarding installing points on a forearm.
Have researched and feel reasonably comfortable with the layered veneers, joining them at a 45 for the inset and shaping the solid block for the point. Now comes cutting the tapered V-grooves to accept the assembly. Have the bit and mechanics to index the stock on the lathe as well as setting the taper to control the length of the V-groove.
It the V-groove normally cut after the forearm has been tapered a shade proud of the final dimensions? Or before the tapering begins?
As always, Thanks for educating those of us without the experience!!
