That's really interesting too. :cool: I would love to see a "profile shot to see how the box actually sits in the top of the rings. :pi:
You will have to come to one of my demos when I'm doing these boxes/pots. The drawings are designed as a hand outs and make more sense when I explain them.
How long are you in Brasil?
I gave this box away, I will take a side on view of the weed pot.
The holes in the rings are shaped to just touch the side of the box body, then glued.
I would love to see a sequence of photos as you did the project.. very inspiring.. and I feel a frustrating time coming as I attempt...
I had the pleasure of watching Ken make this matching pair at Saturn recently.:)
What impressed me was that he could turn these while talking to and interact with all the other people at the event.
I consider Ken to be at the cutting edge of Australiain Woodturning.
He has no peers in this country.
He is also a great guy from the ground up to his neck.:wink:
It's only when you get to the bit above his neck that it all goes weird.:?
Anyone that can dream up designs like that has to be a bit weird in the head.:?
I'm not scared because I've already told him this.
Cheers Ken

Tim, I have a similar opinion on WWW. But I would urge caution. Cheeky comments / jokes comes back ten-fold and more. :rolleyes: Trust me on that.
No peer in the country?
Maybe I'd go a little further than that. But only on the advice of experts. I obviously haven't seen them all OS, but who else could dream up, plan and execute the Carriage?
I think handles the skew better (signs of a production turner) and Vic Wood has the gentle hands of a 20 year old female with a truly radical scraper. (Sorry Ken. :D)
And you are right about Ken talking and turning at the same time. It may be a gift but he jokes, smiles and talks ALL DAMN THE TIME :p. So it comes naturally. :wink::wink:
He cooks pretty well too, as long as you like it HOT. :oo:
But don't give him too many plaudits. He's got to beat the Carriage next year for the National Exhibition / Competition. Now that will be his challenge, not ours. :D:D
