If you have made or plan to make a cremation urn, how will you join the top of the urn to the vessel itself. I have seen some people have used black ABS plastic in a technique that seems reasonable. Here is a link to one such solution: http://www.woodturningonline.com/Turning/Turning_content/Threaded_inserts_for_urns.pdf
Are there other methods you think should be considered?
While we're on the subject, I have seen that the volume calculation should be one cubic inch for each pound of live weight. Do you have any experience to say how accurate this estimate is?
Also, what methods have you used to estimate the size of a turning to achieve a target of 200 cubic inches, for example?
If you have any pictures of cremation urns you have made, it would be great if you would attach them.
