    Another week, Another link....

    I only have enough good links to go like this for about 3 years. Let me know if this is just a waste, but in the meantime....

    This gentleman has the most impressive picture of a turning in progress I have ever seen as seen below:

    The caption he has refers to having to really talk the photographer into taking the picture. Anyway, the whirling image is of the following piece spinning.

    The website to see more of his very impressive works is (I like the archived pieces section as well)

    RE: Another week, Another link....

    Keep posting them Bill... I've got a "woodturning" folder in my bookmarks and I'm stashing them away like crazy... and reading and reading and reading....

    You be the ocean... I'll be the sponge

    I wanna make sure I say THANKS!! I truly appreciate the time and effort you're making to help wannabe's like me.

    A new aspect to woodworking really has a great affect on my morale... sometimes I swear that if I see another basket handle I'm gonna go completely bananas....as opposed to just partially bananas :) Having my hobby be the same as my work probably seems pretty wierd... but that's how it is. When I go into the shop to do some "hobby-lobby" as an old friend calls it, I don't feel like I'm at work... I'm relaxing and enjoying myself. I did the same kinda thing in the Coast Guard... I would get back from a long SAR case, step off the Cutter, walk to my boat, and go back out again.... yea, they thought I was nuts too :)

    Keep em coming mate... I surely do appreciate it. My plan is to absorb as much as I can while waiting to set up shop again... then start the real learning with a chisel and some spinning chunk of tree.

    Looking at these pics, I'm quite simply dumbfounded... it just doesn't look possible to reach inside of that spinning bunch of wood with a chisel without it grabbing him and giving him a ride... simply awesome....
