wheelinround 25th August 2009, 05:40 PM Some times it goes pear shaped that was the sort of day I had.
Turning a piece of Camphor into a vase shape just as a have a play and see what happens sort of task. Not having a deep hollowing system for small necked items doesn't help but good tool control does.
I was doing fine cleaning the inside up to shape the bottom and sides when it happened :doh::C:B.
Bummer
wheelinround 25th August 2009, 05:46 PM About to give up toss it in the bin I cleaned up the bit still in the chuck the base so a candle could be sat in it.
looked good but the top half still was bugging me :rolleyes::?
I sat and played look n see it was to become a suck it and see so I did.
Cut a joiner ring sleeve glued it into the base
stuck the top into the chuck and cleaned that up
wheelinround 25th August 2009, 05:51 PM some changing in chucking again and glue it back together let it dry while having lunch
Back to it removed a bit from the base and saw its grain matched all the way through :rolleyes: a lid :U it became
not quite finished more to happen yet back to it when I can.
Have an idea for covering the join and finishing the lid
This is a total frivolous venture

It may be a "a total frivolous venture" but I'm betting that you'll learn a lot out of it.
Some of my favourite pieces have been the results of similar playing around. :;

price of the swift kick - priceless !!:po:
