    Thanks Neil. I re- edited again and seemed to fix it, I think it might have been a problem on my end.

    Cheers Mick,

    It was a little while ago, but here goes,
    you will need to start with a piece of wood as close to completely square as possible, then I placed it on the lathe with nothing in the headstock or Tailstock, instead I put opposite corners, one in the morse taper thread in the headstock an one in the morse taper in the tail stock,

    This link shows a very similar way. Not mine but close. 3 Sided Bowl,

    Then I turned a spigot on it, turned it around, put it in a chuck and turned the shape I wanted ten sanded and finished it then payed of the bottom, sorry about being a bit vague but if you need more info Pm me and I will see if I can help you,
    cheers Ben

    Ben,

    much appreciated and especially thanks to the link. It is on the 'to do' list but with SWMBO wanting a yarn bowl and my daughter a set of salt and pepper shakers it will be a while yet . I still may contact you down the line!

    cheers

    Mick
