Definitely. Thank you for the link. And I thought I'd seen all of the YouTube vids on the subject.
I'd already considered a scale along the toolrest, but hadn't thought of using a guide clamped to the scale or a depth gauge attached to the tool shaft.
I'll have to think about how to incorporate his tricks into my method. Wish I had a welder to make a custom toolrest.
It crossed my mind that it'd be easy with a compound slide, too, but sort of cheating.
Edit: Trust the Germans. They have engineering on the brain from the moment they're born. All of the best engineers I've ever known have been German.... Steve

It blew out on me! I turned a ball between centres and made the grooves sanded. Then cut it in line with with the centres.
I then got a scrap bit of 4by4 pine in Chuck and hollowed it to fit had round and And hollowed it out then grooved the inside.
my sample was out of camphor, hardwood would be better!
But I have a lattice lid for a project now!

I think if I make another ball one in softwood when I first turn the ball I'll coat it in c.a And once the inside is turned and sanded before grooves some more c.a.
Think it might help? Not sure.

Hi chuckie,
I think these type of turnings need to be made
from hard wood, burls even better, I like the finished
ball and finial, looks goodCheers smiife

Smiife,
See if you can get a copy of David Springett's book "Woodturning Wizardry" as he has some tips on flat & domed lattice turnings in it.Mobyturns
