hi wheelin'

I didn't know you had a lathe that can swing a 950mm DIAMETER solidl

FWIW
I'd suggest building the table base using a built up -- possibly coopered -- constructionh

about 3 feet? I am in the states. Shipping might be a bear but I can swing it.

Without wishing to upset anyone that might want this job, why should this be done on a lathe anyway. Is it something about the profile or what.

When I'm making round tables, no matter what the materials or size, I make it with the router. The main circle with a long straight cutter and the router on a swing arm and then any edge profiles are easy freehand with bearing led cutters.

As my lathe is a standard Chiwanese jobby, I couldn't consider anything that big anyway, but would still prefer the router.

I don't but know two fellows who do and they are top turners live close by this fellow.

Having seen this fellows work at Sturt Wood School doing a demo on building up laminations he is well versed in building up.:2tsup:

Thanks for the replies
I would consider doing layers but would want them on the thick side of things its 750mm high so i would do 3 layers if that makes it easier .
Cheers
