    Default How would you turn these?

    S&P grinder tops.

    Peter Hromek's work.

    Best I can do with the pic.
    Cheers, Ern

    Hi ern.

    I would turn them with a flare at the top and then carve and sand the un wanted area.

    First impression is offset tutning but the ridge near the top makes me think it has been shaped after turning. Perhaps a product of both.

    Yeah John, I wondered about that ridge too. So Ern, does Peter show how he does it?

    I would turn a flare and then saw the waste off and spokeshave, rasp, sand to desired shape - much the same process as for a cabriole leg.

    As the others have said turn of centre then shape the underneath part.

    Have done a similar thing on cutlery handles but not with the ridge underneath

    Just been thinking again, turn to round first then turn like you would a three sided handle but only do 2 sides then offset the whole thing to round the top

    How would you turn these? I wouldn't they look good but I don't think they would feel good in your hand, and would be awkward to use

    My guess would be just tilting axis. Turn the bottom of the top piece at 90 degrees leaving a flare at the top to accomodate the curve then turn small sections after changing the tilt to achieve the curve etc. Peter Hromek certainly produces some fine off-centre work. From memory he was an engineer earlier in his life so he has a good background to help conceive some of his creations (have not read any info on his site - just browsed the Australian Woodworker's story on him last month).

    His website - chec the menu - containers (dose not refer the them as bowls).

    Definitely doable using an Escoulen chuck. I had a crack at it tonight when I got home from work, but too embarrassed to show the result. I'll keep at it and post results when I've got something I won't be ashamed of.
