A large bowl!
Check this one out if you feel that the bowls you are turning are perhaps too large and safety is an issue.

Not long ago in an Oz turning mag I saw one that had the turners kid sitting in it and I thought that was big!
I wonder how many $2 tubes of CA it would take to finish this 'un! :eek:

Got a couple of brush box trees nearly that big up here! Only problem is that they are in the Nightcap National park.

That bowl was made in Germany. There is a photo progression if you look on their site.

The naughty turner hasn't even got his face shield on properly :eek:
Not that it would do anything if that bowl came flying off
How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?

I reckon if it came off, he'd be chasing it into the next state or at least the next farm!! And imagine the carnage it would cause along the way- (couple of dead cows and a horse maybe, even the odd squashed passenger vehicle!!
Imagine the headlines- "horse killed by runaway bowl" or "woodturner charged with manslaughter"

The danger is to fall in the shavings and be taken away by the vacuum cleaner

La Truciolara is the workshop where I do my shavings.

large bowl
http://woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/...ead.php?t=7943
Heres the thread link to the Proserpine Club But the link with in no longer works. From memory it weighed in at two tonnes and was at the time the largest bowl made being turned by hand tools. It now reside in the local museum up there.
If any body on the forum comes from up that way maybe they can supply some pics of it being turned.

LOL nice ones. I though of a couple more headlines:

"A night on the turn ends in bowl rampage!"How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?
