Ques. re. turning a teapot

[robert raess]

I was wanting to turn a teapot,including handle and spout,out of one pc. of wood.I have been looking on youtube and the archives here on SM.Is this a combination of multiaxis turning+constructing and destructing+carving? Any tutorials,references,answers or sites would be appreciated. Thanks rob

Robert, you might take a look at the website of Michael Gibson http://www.michaelgibsonwoodturner.com/Bowls.html

Michael has done some beautiful work, sometimes embellished by Cynthia, his wife. Nice fellow, too, and might be willing to help.

And, this guy makes 'em. On the right side he has a .pdf file you can open that gives a bit of instruction. Here's the link: http://www.nakedwoodturner.com/
