Yeah I like it. when you look at it dead on, the curve doesnt look that great imo but from above at any angle it looks much better. :D

Thanks!

Thanks guys. I'll think about removing the foot. I was thinking of sanding the inside a little more when I first finished it, and I'm planning on it now cause of some roughness that turned up... so...

I'm pretty happy with this one. cracking a tiny bit but not bad. I might end up putting poly on then buffing, or just buffing with the mineral oil it has on now.
6 by 5 1/2 by 3 in high. Critique...

well I was inspired to try one of these... so I did. I like it, you dont run across the difficulty of deep hollowing which is nice. :D originally made the lid loose but now its tight... it is shellac...

me too please

Hi

Sorry I never got this, I've been realllly busy, school play was this weekend which meant long days all week. but here it is now... better late then never right? :rolleyes:

donut chuck plans...

i'll see if I can dig up those instructions. the issue i have had with it though is getting the bowl centered, and tightening the bolts equally. its a bit of a hassle and I've given up trying to use...

very nice... looks like the red spot :rolleyes:

what they said :D:D:D

In my experience its generally not a problem. after I rough out the bowl I put ca glue over the pith on each sides before placing in DNA. I generally get some small cracks which i turn away in the...

Chris: the rim is about 3/32 but it gets fatter the farther you go in... I was having some major vibration issues with the tool i was using... may just be the way i was cutting I donno.

Don: I...

Well I was finally able to get back to the lathe... between finals and a trip away I havent been able to turn for what feels like ages, but I'm back! :D:D
I also recently got a small hollowing tool...

Thanks Chris, I certainly did try to take as many pictures to show the bowl as well as possible.

to answer your questions:
1) it was partially purposeful, I could have followed the curvature of...

Thanks for the info, I'll try that out next time... I have used poly with wonderful results.. but I do like the color change due to the mineral oil thats all really...

Thanks for the comments....

yeah thats what I was thinking about the tenon... I was trying to continue the curve of the bowl but it didnt work out quite right...

Finally got around to finishing this one up, has some interesting features...mineral oil, and will be buffed once i get bowl buffs. 4in wide by 2in high. thickish base to add some heft but for the...

I just finished these up the other day and finially got around to taking some photos. I called them a set just because they match due to the fact they are from the same piece of wood and have very...

yeah its really quite cool. We also have a robot arm that you can program to work with the mill to create an endless cycle to just mill something over and over again... as if it were in a...

Thanks Guys!

Don- Its not really mine... its the schools, but I'm friendly with the tech teacher so I can do pretty much whatever I want with it. This was just for fun but I have also made a box...

So my friends birthday was a while ago and I finially got around to turning/cncing this thing for him. Its a rubix cube holder! I forget the dimensions but the distance from one side to the other of...

Thats exactly the same way I do it for the most part anyway... However if you turn the ring to its almost the thickness that you want, when you shove it on the dowel it is liable to break. I have...

I would say it looks... well.... blue... just like the color of the forum colors actually...:eek::p no picture in other words...
dont worry... we've all been there done that!

the way I have made it is with 2 ft of string, leaving the bottom of the handle... and the width of the string was 1/16. nylon. not thread but string.
I like yours! your ball is much rounder than...

oh I didnt make that one... I found it on that website that you couldnt access. I do have the chisels :D:D a friend gave them to me. Havent had to sharpen them but from the directions you just smooth...

I like it! the one thing that may hinder its use as a rattle is where does the child hold it? if they hold they end then it will dappen the noise. Also the end may be too large for their hands. The...
