Title: Vase for Boxmaker
Post by: jimbo on July 13, 2010, 06:18:47 pm

Hi Mark more info on vase making, the photos are probably out of sequence but you should be able to follow
there is one of my lathe showing the 4 jaw chuck to hold the wood on the lathe, next is the peice of wood I started with [a tree I cut out of my back yard] next is the hollowing tools, these are woodcut and made in NZ, the best in my opinion is the Rolly Munroe also made in NZ, these tool are for hollowing out the centre of the vase other tools are used for the out side, the next is the vase hollowed out abd ready for sanding and embelishment.
It is rather scary putting the log on the lathe at first, everything has to be tight and that has to be checked all the the time as if you do not you wear it.
One other thing the hollowing tools are expensive, one of those with handle is around $200nz
