Shattered bowl.
Following on from my earlier question, tonight I had some wood with some rot
within on the lathe.My wife came to the workshop door and as I walked past the bowl it shattered into three pieces. One hit my elbow the other two bounced off the ceiling. Stuff has left the lathe at speed before but this was a first. Must say seeing herself taking to her heels on hearing the bang was amusing.Thats the christmas orders stuffed then. -- Boru Slack Linux #328989 http://counter.li.org |

Sounds as if the bowl was sitting on a table or something and decided to demonstrate expansion... mac Please remove splinters before emailing |

Sorry to keep asking questions, but we all learn from them... What diameter was the bowl? Thick or thin? Have yo looked at the pieces to see if they broke along old cracks, punky parts or whatever? mac Please remove splinters before emailing |

More questions are fine. Bowl was 9" wide, 6" deep and 1" thick. There was some rot in the wood but nothing I could see to make a difference. Thing is, there are two more roughed out sitting on the shelf.  -- Boru Slack Linux #328989 http://counter.li.org |

Thing is, there are two more roughed out sitting on the shelf. Hmmm... I've had a few go, especially from unseen cracks that had obvious aging once broken, but never on something that thick.. Sort of a no-brainer, but I'd be very careful with the other 2.. Hopefully, it was just some defect in the wood that the others won't have.. mac Please remove splinters before emailing |
