Was it a segmented one David, had the same for a couple of years ago, but it was bad glued. I think I was not patience enough than. Luckely nothing hits me.
Good luck with the new one.

Can't. I am not going to pick up all the bits.

It split, hit the bed of the lathe and exploded. 400 mm Dia, 25mm thick 50mm rim, three laminates of 8 segments each.

Nothing left longer than 100mm.

Mock ships wheel, rim, for school function.

Cut and glued another together, Will turn tomorrow.

[Robomanic]

Sorry to hear that - glad you are not damaged. I'm sure the next one will turn out great.

[Jim Carroll]

David how are you holding it to make sure it does not happen again.

We would hot melt glue these to a backing board turn as much as possible then take it of and then turn around and glue on again and finish of.

[DavidG]

Another rim made.
Now to drill and mount inner spindles, hub and outer handles.:U

[tea lady]

It was karma. From being mean to drivelers.:-

:D(glad you weren't hit.:) 0

The second one worked better didn't it? By the 6th one you'll be really quick.:cool:
