Not quite sure why this was moved, I did make parts of it on my ot lathe, the aluminum and the top resin piece were cut with a 16 lobe rosette.

You gave no indication that it was done on an OT lathe.

Looks great!!!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:


Almost looks like a kit the way you present the parts.

Thanks for the comment, it's not a kit though. I turned all of it on a wood lathe using an easy detail like tool on the metal pieces then cutting then on the rose engine.
