more info wanted on a vase turning technique
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 |

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 Ken Moon Webberville, TX. |

There was actually an article (I think it was in Woodworker's Journal)
probably 10 or more years ago. It was a plan for a bud vase using the described technique. I used the article to modify the basic plan into a walnut lamp that is hollow in the center with small openings on 4 sides. I used the procedure pretty much as described above. What I did though rather than use double stick tape (that was not in the original article) to glue the 4 2x2's together was to use regular aliphatic resin glue but inserted craft paper at the glued surfaces. Then when the first turning is complete, I just used a large chisel to split them back apart prior to rotating the pieces and re-gluing (of course without the paper this time).

Hi Peter
I do have a file with turning instructions on how to proceed making inside out turnings, with another inside out turning inside again. I tried sending to you but it bounced, if you give your real address I will send you the info, if you like.
