Very unique. Never saw this and still not sure I understand how you did the corners. Great Job!

I love most anything camphor. Gary, you've done a fantastic job on this. I cannot begin to imagine how you've done this. Any chance you'd give us a bit of a tutorial on how you did this? I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a curious mind. 8-)

Thanks Rev. This was turned on 6 axis, two times per axis. First was mounted on 3" face plate screwed into the top. The bottom was then trued up. The face plate was moved to the bottom and the lip on the top and flat on top was cut and trued. The face plate was than moved to all four sides truing up each opposite side. This gave me true parallel sides, and square corners. The face plate than made a second round on the four sides turning a recess on each side to the depth of the bowl side, and large enough in diameter to give me the leg thickness. Like the bottom only cutting closer to the edge. The face plate than was mounted back on the top and the bottom recess was turned and than the bottom of the bowl. Turning through the hole in the bottom. Now the turning was reversed into a vacuum chuck through the hole in the bottom and the bowl was hollowed. All that was left was to cut out the small triangles on the four sides to get the square opening on the four sides. It was much easer to do than to explain. Hope this helps. Gary.

Thanks Gary. That makes it clear as mud. Think I'll go our and turn one in the 15 free minutes that I have next week. Wink

Great imagination. What in the world was your inspiration to figure this piece out? 8-)

Rev. the seed for this piece was planted when I was talking to Keith Tompkins about a square base for one of his turnings. He told me he made the square base only using turning. A little light went on. Duh, turning is a great way to make sides of a square parallel.
