That's really interesting too. I would love to see a "profile shot to see how the box actually sits in the top of the rings.

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.Ken Wraight.

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.
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
TimSome days I turns thisaway, somedays I turns thataway and other days I don't give a stuff so I don't turn at all.

Tim, I have a similar opinion on WWW. But I would urge caution. Cheeky comments / jokes comes back ten-fold and more. 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. )
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 . So it comes naturally.
He cooks pretty well too, as long as you like it HOT.
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.
