TSmith Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 This is one of my other hobbies that I very much so enjoy. Woodturning is the art of taking a block of wood and spinning it on a wood lathe and producing any cylindrical object. I mainly make one of a kind bowls and vases and platters. But I could tell you about this all day just have a look for yourself Try this link: Travis Smith Woodturnings I believe that fishing is usually better when there is a full moon. People are more crazy when there is a full moon. Thank God He made fish the way He did so I can have better fishing when people are crazier than normal.

Terry Beeson Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Too bad some of those chipped and broke during the process... :lol: Just one question, though... What is your lathe setup? I haven't turned since HS, but keep thinking I want to start again.... especially seeing work like this...

zander Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 I used to have a lathe when I was in grad school but I sold it to fund a vacation to Mexico. I loved turning stuff. My problem was always once I got started on something, I could not make myself stop until I was done. One night I was trying to speed through a myrtle bowl, trying to get it super thin with my ring tool. I was tired and the ring tool bit too much. It grabbed the tool out of my hand, slung it around and the handle hit me like a sledgehammer in the stomach. It happened in an instant. Had it been a different tool and the other side I might not be here today. That was the last thing I ever turned before I sold it. I love your work. In my opinion there isn't enough of that kind of stuff around, I don't think there ever could be either.

I also hooked up a dust collector hood next to the the motor where all of the chips of wood fly off.
