I decided to start the new week with to do something with my oval turning device, and well with to try to make an oval picture frame, as this is a nice and welcome addition for my turning collection.
I used for this try out ordinary pine, just for to see the outcome and tool using.
I had the thoughts to develop new tools for the inside turning, but never had the thoughts to use my hollowing rig for this job, till this morning. So I mounted my hollowing rig on the lathe, and all I can say it works very well and easy.
The size of the finished oval picture frame is 235x210mm, and my try came out reasonable well.
Got last week a great offer from someone who saw my oval turning device and understoot that it was not my first choice using rollerchains for transferring. He owns a bussiness in timing belts and have a superfluous stock of timing belts and pulley's I may use for free to make another improvement. I send him already a list with what I need, so maybe...)))
I have attached work in progress pictures of my try out, and also the finished oval picture frame.
Thanks for looking, and comments are as always welcome.
Cheers. Ad :)
