WOW!! That first bowl is dang near boat shaped!

Canoe shaped is my goal. Thanks for noticing.

Swing 82"? Do you mean 41" - over the floor

Yep, although I haven't measured carefully to see if it will hit the
floor or ceiling first. I do know that for these large bowls I'll
have to move the ceiling light.

I have since turned my second bowl. It is an oval 4" x 18" and 4"
high. Dan



I got to thinking about that propeller analogy I made in my previous post.
The lathe IS bolted down, right? Have you given any thought to the
aerodynamics of really long and narrow bowls?
