|  New tool (sorry, lathe related!) Finally figured ot how to use my "coring rig". This heavy duty tool allows a turner to get more than one piece out of a block of wood, instead of reducing most of it to curlies. Here's a chunk of sycamore ready to rough turn the outside (it is ~18" in diameter) HPIM1829 (600 x 450).jpg Looks good enough...time to turn it around..... HPIM1831 (600 x 448).jpg First scoop taken out. This will eventually become a small hollow form. HPIM1833 (531 x 600).jpg Finished coring with 3 pieces. HPIM1834 (568 x 600).jpg A couple minutes with a bowl gouge and a 16" rough out is ready for the drying rack! HPIM1835 (468 x 600).jpg Now all I need to do is practice some more!

| G'day Bear, That's an intelligent piece of equipment. As a person that is opposed to waste, I find this to be an extremely valuable tool. I guess it not only saves timber but cash as well  3 for the price of one - well done.

| Here's some info for you Evie......... http://www.kelton.co.nz/centre.html Those Kiwi's are an ingenious bunch. I bought mine at Craft Supplies USA........ http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/st...bo_sytem?Args= Thanks guys. Almost all my turning wood was/is "free". Either dying trees, trees cut down for development, or "dangerous" tree service wood rescued at the dump before it gets mulched. Only wood I buy is for scrolling, and I haven't done much of that since the move.

| Thanks for showing us the stages of coring. You sure have a nice top line lathe there. Isn't it just amazing how many woodworkers of all kinds are getting into turning. But like you said, the wood is free and yes, scrolling wood is getting quite expensive. Apart from the free wood the part I appreciate most with turning is all the wonderful things that can be made on a lathe that are much better appreciated and accepted at sales and as gifts . W.Y. |
