    And this link shows you some of the things an ornamental engine can do. Amazing stuff...

    Wow, I wish I had the time to understand how those machines work.

    I bet you could use them to make some amazing pool cues !!

    They could create some truly unique millwork around the handles, anyway.

    Thats what I was thinking. I have seen a few examples before, I'll have to try and dig out a pict or two. Cheers.

    the one in my link is a rose engine, which wouldn't really be suitable for spindle work. But in my search for that particular one (which I'm building, slowly, slowly...) I came across a couple of different types which should do what you want quite nicely.

    I wonder if I can find the links again? :confused: I won't hold my breath...

    Here is one pict I found.

    I thinks some is hand carved, but some is probably turned on one of those amazing machines that I don't understand !!

    Cheers - PH.
