Hi

My friend told me he heard about a certain technique that piqued my
interest. Can anyone give me a web site or more info on the subject.
From what I understand you take lets say a 4 x4 cut it into 4 pcs of 2
x 2. Double side tape it back together. Turn it in a certain way. Pull
the 4 pieces apart and orient the turn sides inward and glue together.
Then once again turn the piece but this time you cut through some how
into the void.
Thats all I know. sorry for the bad grammer. Any help would be
appriecated

Peter,
Do a goole search in this news group on "inside out turning", or "involute
turning". That will give you some good info. You have the basic concept in
your description above. Just be sure all the pieces you start with are the
exact same dimensions (like running all sides through a table saw to insure
identical dimensions. BTW, you don't cut into the void normally. You make
the outside match the void area, or embellish to your own design. Cutting
into the void gives you a 4-winged "vase". Interesting, but hazardous! {:-O
