Hi All,
Seen this video Woodturning 600 pound Maple speaker cone, part 1 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Mod_92VZA) on You-tube this morning, looks like a lot of fun:wink:

Has anyone had experience turning something like this?

Cheers Ben

Well, of course this work is being done on the mighty Hegner VB36 master bowl lathe from England. I have just purchased one and it arrived several weeks ago. Unfortunately it is still packed in it's shipping crate and sitting on my trailer as it was when I picked it up from Port Botany.

We're currently negotiating to purchase a new property, so there's no point unpacking the 500kg beauty until I'm ready to install it in its final resting place. Still, I look at videos like this and am tempted to get started immediately.

I wish I had the room, tools, materials, time etc to be able to do this!

I've seen that video of the Lissi interview before.

I have a very healthy respect for chainsaws (I really don't like them) and there she is hollowing with one!

Total respect to her.
