Thread: Moon ball.

Love it.

Is he chain all turned together? Or make the rings separately and split one to join them? I guess you would have to split one of them.

Like it!!

Yup, works for me!

A good design. Would probably work for a club challange I have coming up. What size is it?

John, you have a great imagination.
I like it very much.

Thank you for your kind replies

The chain was turned as the 3 loose rings and one broken as you thought. I did some extras in case the one didn't break cleanly. No need because it was OK..

I hope that you have better luck than me in your challenge Ted. It didn't even get a mention in the one I put it in

The design (?) sort of developed as I went along and I had no idea as to what I was going to finish up with.

G'day John, if it was a competition between you and me you'd come first and daylight would fill the next 10 places at least. well done.

undies

A work of art John well done and nice finish

Ian, I have no way of commenting about where we would both come as I haven't seen any of your work, but I doubt that you would be very far behing if indeed you weren't in front

Edit : - Now this is getting confusing . I have to assume that there are 2 Ians at least out there? The above comment was meant for the first, but thank you for your comment as well Ian () My brain cell 'urts now..

Looking back again, I think??? that the first comment was meant for Minus and that the 2 Ians are just one and I'm getting confused (not difficult) by the 'like system on here. I haven't come across it before???

Oh, nurse!! Where's me medication

Your wood must speak a different language to mine then!

I'm definitely with the majority here, I think it;'s a great piece.

D-fly, I have never really understood why, but if I am turning something to a definate plan it can be difficult or it can be easy. If I try to do 2 things, a pair of goblets for instance, one can be easy and the other a real pain in the sit-upon. It can either be the first or second. If I put a lump onto the lathe with no idea and just go and follow what seems to be what the wood wants then it's easy. If I try to change that the fun starts.

It sounds bloody stupid to me as I try to explain it, but that's how it feels. I am not a 'tree hugger, vegan, plant worshipiping hippie'. Far from it, as friends will confirm, but I just don't know how else to explain it?

Here John have some of mine and I'll meet you on Betelgeuse 3...............I'm known as "undies" and there ain't 2 of us on here.....lol
Oh and believe me your creation is light years ahead of me. Well bloody done, I'm in awe.

in awe? Is that near Geelong?

My sister and family used to live in Bulongarook. I spent a month out there only to have to leave on the Friday of the start of your 200 celebrations! Bruv-in-law forgot to tell me!!
