    How to make a vase, The hard way!

    Through a previous thread, quite a few of you ask to see how I made my Frank LLoyd Wright vase. So With the help of a new friend (Ben Gastfriend) we found a way to get it here. It is not much but it shows my learning curve. I do not know if my process is the best or most effiecient way, but it worked. Hope you enjoy or just learn from my mistakes.

    Thumbs up Walter,

    Great Job- fantastic-! The smaller segments which formed the black outline- how did you cut them to the correct angle to form the circle- did you make a jig for that part? Great craftsmanship Walter!

    Yep... It's a free website, so it is mad because there's a large file up on it.

    I'll work on it an let y'all know when I have (or haven't) resolved it...

    OK! I fixed it! Try this link, then click on the "Click here to start download" button on the left side of the screen.

    That works, but why not zip it up and upload here? The zip file would be under the size limit. Just a suggestion.

    Very interesting seeing the process. Never realize the total amount of time that went into the segmented pieces.

    It will have to wait until I get home as that site is blocked. *&%*%&

    Gads, Walt, that's just an amazing piece of work! Lots of time and detail in that one, and for a great finished product.
    That's not a light at the end of the tunnel; It's a naked singularity.
