    Default Off center totaly on center...

    It has been ages since I paid a visit to one of my favorite forums, and I was missing all of you.
    I have been entirely reconstructing the workshop and the school, and believe me it has been going very close to a nightmare.
    I do not know how companies work over there, but here in Italy, they are very swift in starting the work and then they rush elsewhere. Therefore I have not turned for quite a while.
    However you know my passion for off center turning, and hereafter you will see an off center example totally on center. That is to show that off center turning is not useful only for strange contorted turning.

    This piece, turned by a french wood tuner Pascal Oudet, is made of a single piece of oak. The box was waxed, while the support was bleached with hydrogen peroxide.

    I hope you like it as much as I do.

    Claude, that is soooooo neat. Very well done, Pascal. And it's hollow too! (Claude's pic is actually a link, mates and matesses; when the link is open, click for the next image.)

    I don't think Italy has a monopoly on unfinished work, Claude. We have a few businesses like your contractors. Heck, I'm getting halfway good at it myself lately. Good to see you back.

    {By any chance, did you miss the "icosahedron ball" I posted in February? It was inspired by the piece you posted here in September. Here's a link:

    Good one.

    We have several 'works in progress' around our place not counting the ones I'm doing.

    We have 6M of gutter on the roof to be replaced, that job has been measured & the gutter ordered but it is almost a 9 months old.
    The painting has been in progress for almost as long.
    We have a bathroom vanity on order that is coming up to it's 2nd birthday.
    And the tiling job has been in progress for almost 4 years now.
    Cliff.
    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Claude, quite a challenge to turn this off center, would like it to do that, and well so perfectly, Talking about Pascal, oh yes he's a great woodturner, followed his work for a long time. I looked a long time to the picture, and really enjoyed it.
    Woodturners are the most lucky people in the world, isn't.
    Oh well contractors are the same in Holland, so there is hope for you.
    Good luck.

    Amazing what some of us can't yet do on a lathe.

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
