The perch is parted of for attachment to the ornament |
The perch is glued in and the ornament is completed |
Per the Hilburger rule, 12 noon brings the mandatory lunch break |
After lunch, Bob starts his demonstration of the bell ornament |

The outside of the bell is shaped leaving enough strength for hollowing the inside |
A hole helps with the hollowing and sets the depth |
The inside of the bell is hollowed to match the outside contours |
The inside of the bell is taken to completion |

|
With all of the interior work done, the outside can be turned to final shape |
Finished as best that can be reached, the ornament is parted off |
A jam chuck can be created or a light grip in the chuck allows for finishing touches on the top |
