new LARGE bowl

[Scott Hubl]

Excellent job Chris.

Looks awsome hanging off the end, nice outpost too.

Platter looks great with your son sitting in it.

Chris, that is a huge piece! You boy is really cute and looks like he is ready for the snow. How was the soft pine 2x4's to turn? You bringing it to the show and tell in April?

I like your homemade outboard turning rig, I would like to copy the design and somehow make the distance from the lathe adjustable for deeper bowls as well as platters.

Great job!

i thought about going


my dads business is closing and we have to start getting stuff out (long story

it is adjustable the bend that hooks to the pipe on the lathe is 1-1/4" which slides over the 1" pipe

the whole thing is based on the info that was in the winter 2008 issue of wood turning design

pine is fun to turn
this is done from 1 2x4



it has been sold already though (got good money for it

That is absolutely great! Gotta love those "dare's", they tend to push you to or over the limit.

[Chris Rolke]

dares are great

they expand your ideas

and drive you insane

the bad part of the outboard rest is i can still go bigger than that one

i believe it will max out around 41"-42"

i will not be making anything that large yet

I'm pretty sure of the production time on the one piece, but how bout the other?

obviously the laminated piece was "quick" the other piece (normal segmented work) was not all that bad

i did that as 2 halves and then glued them together

Dale,

That distance is adjustable. Look at the pipe that is horizontal and you will see the set screw that locks down the pipes that slide out for greater depth. I am in the process of building the same rest.

I think if you give it time the finish will improve just from all the diaper polishing being applied. ;-)

Amazing piece!

[Chris Rolke]

thanks guys

the out board turig rest is a great project

the big bowl was really kind of fun

[Brian McInturff]

Both pieces are awesome. Never thought a 2x4 could look so good.
