Thread: WIP: shallow redgum bowl

Happy to oblige Al.

You could do the same with an assortment of faceplates but the rings are cheap and don't take up much pegboard space. Means you can easily have several jobs on the go, and not have to take the chuck off - allowed a quick swap of pieces yesterday when Grumpy John and I had a go at a lump of his.

Square drive screws are a good match.

Thanks for noticing the faceplate rings, Al. It didn't register with me at first.

And thanks for explaining them, Ern. I suppose one could make up a few spares in plywood, but CSUSA has the genuine article (metal) in the US$20 range, so hardly worth stumbling about. Only the largest (6") needs large dovetail jaws (5").

Fine lookin' frisbees, Jeff and Ed.

Joe

Both Vicmarc and Teknatool make em.

I haven't compared dovetail angles to see if they're interchangeable. In fact, the only T/tool one I have is the 130mm mother to match their Titan Supergrips or whatever they're called.

Hmmmmmm....idea for an international challengemaking a frisbee!

Any wood, limit to 12" diameter, and it must be functionalfly that is!!

Cheers,

I've had a couple of those, just couldn't use them after.

Finished!

It is Black Stripe Walnut, weighs 150grams

I made it in '95.

I reckon it will fly well but may not take too many rough landings.

...just wait till the neighbors dingo gets a hold of it!!

I'd take up that challenge

Maybe score (distance flown)/weight to encourage some translucent pieces .
You could be really tough and go for average of 3 runs so it has to survive at least a little while...

Could have the innaugral state championships at 's turnfest. Start flinging frisbees across the Sth Gippy Hwy, no lathe assisted throws . You can ask about lathe assisted throws , he holds the current Oz record.

Is that for the number, weight, or distance.

Also, does it have to be the whole frisbee?

I had the side of a mango bowl bounce off my forehead & park itself in the rafters of my shed.

A sharp edge in order to decapitate has already been done, unfortunately.

I believe it would be weight x distance plus you have to factor in the number of cars/trucks/mcycles travelling along the sth gippy hwy at the time.

Probably lucky that it was soft Mango 'stead of Ironwood
