Great work there!

All of it really shows the value of using plain gained timber for OT.

Ray, I'm sure I said all the work in the link I turned free hand using a simple tool and cutters which I made , the tool is held in a similar way as you would hold a bowl gouge, that's it as far as equiptment goes.

If you don't believe how the work has been done then please feel free to express your opinion or theory

Shredder mate cool to see you replying. Still very impressive even more considering you are doing it with hand tools. Would love to see a picutre of some of your tools

Dean good to see you here welcome to the other side of the woodworking world.

I went fishing and got a bite glad you explained it to them here don't think they would have believed me if I had told them.

I am impressed with the works can't wait to see the way its done.

Toni, I've got some nice spanners and a few rare hammers if you want to see them

Ray/Toni, I'm sure you'll see the tool soon, thats all I can say at the moment
I'm still waiting for a bite Ray

Happy New Year by the way

Sorry Toni but I'm still working on the pics but I have to wait until the guy who's taking the pics is available

OK here’s a simple one, this is a 65mm disk of end grain cherry held in the chuck, the lathe speed was 775rpm
This is the first cut which took about a minute.




I’ve cleaned up the edge and the centre for the next cuts.



Changed the cutter and then cut the outside edge.



Another quick change of the cutter to do the centre.



Tidy up and cut in the lines with a small skew, I slipped and sliced the centre



Cleaned up with a soft brass brush and wire wool, the finish could be much better with a bit more time spent on it and the wood was a little bit to soft as you can see from the small pieces that have broken away, you can also see how the grain can interfere with the pattern on the bottom left of the disk.
All the work was done in 10 minutes max.

Welcome along for the ride Shredder!

That is, as i have said, wonderful work.

[lubbing5cherubs]

beautiful but where a piccy of the tool or lathe doing hte work like this or is that top secret that after we see it will you have to shoot us all???
bye Toni

Gee Dean it takes us usually 15 minutes to set up the Rose Engine let alone do the cuts that work is amazing

I would be interested I can tell you that for sure what are expected costs of the tool/set up???

Looking at it so far it's all face work, will it do between centres such as on finial's sides of cylinders/lidded boxes.
