My brother is a competition wood turner at Intermediate level in Perth, West Australia. Below is the base of what will be an interpretation of the Seatle Space Needle.
It was made from four square sections of wood glued together and turned. It was then unglued, each piece was rotated 180 degrees and re-glued then turned again. There is a story that Confederate rifle buts were turned four at a time using the technique
The quasi-African piece is turned on seven or eight axes!
He’s good!
I don’t know what came first!
I have a few Black & Decker drill attachment lathes. I make flutes. The most adventurous thing I do is the Opinel knife handle. It’s turned off-centre and sometimes the axis is completely off the work piece but I’m only playing with a toy lathe.
It is addictive!
