Need a break from the normal single axis symetry of your usual pieces?

Occassionally get bored with turning circles? Sure, you're turning
profiles with nice "fair curves", interesting profiles and perfect
proportions - but every cross section is - ROUND.

Round & Brown - plates, bowls, hollow forms, spindles, finials - those
are all fun to turn. But after a while . . . just ROUND ain't enough.

Wings are interesting - challenging - and a bit dangerous - especially
the way Jimy Clewes turns them - at 3,800 rpms. But even winged pieces
are still turned on just ONE axis - a single axis of symetry.

You've probably seen Escoulen's Multi-Axis turnings - and wondered
HOW IN THE HELL CAN HE DO THAT!?

Maybe you've tried multi-axis turning - but your results seem to be so
unpredictable. Multi-axis turning seems so chaotic - I Wanted THIS -
but - I Got THAT. Trying to work out multi-axis CAUSE & EFFECT can give
you a headache?

So you abandoned playing with multi-axis turning - too complicated - too
confusing - too unpredictable - too CHAOTIC.

OK - so maybe I'm the ONLY one who had that experience ; )

Well - someone has FINALLY started bringing ORDER OUT OF MULTI-AXIS
CHAOS - and has put together a Systematic Method of connecting CAUSE
with EFFECT - that's understandable. Mre importantly - YOU can APPLY it
- and start GETTING the results you WANT.

The person you want to thank for bringing order to the apparent chaos of
multi-ais turning is - Barbara Dill. After first seeing multi-axis
turning being done back in 1993, she recently (over the last three or
four years) began developing a systematic method of thinking about
multi-axis Cause & Effect - a mental model of how multi-axis turning
works - what does what, how and why.

Here's the link to her website. Check out her Gallery: Multi-Axis Work
- and then download and go through her Multi-Axis Paper.

When you've gone through her Paper a couple of times - THE CLOUDS WILL
PART, THE SUN OF UNDERSTANDING WILL SHINE THROUGH, THE ANGELS WILL SING
- and you'll head off to your lathe to begin applying what you've
learned - to create YOUR OWN multi-axis pieces!

Yet another whole new turning world to explore - and exploit!
