This multi-axis turning thing is VERY DIFFERENT from single axis
turning.

You're always turning in or immediately next to "shadow areas" which
means

1. you can't see ALL the affects of what you're doing at any given
moment

2. because areas adjacent to where you're workingare "shadows"
your normal method for cutting beads, coves, etc., may cause
the end away from where the cutting edges is cutting to catch
or take out something you wanted to keep

3. "blending" a shape turned on one axis to another shape turned on
a different axis can be an exercise in futility - or a pleasant
surprise

And if you go with intersecting arcs rather than turning to a circular
cross section

1. you have to deal with edges where arcs intersect which means
a) the desired edge changes location is a function of TWO cuts
made on TWO axis so to move an edge 1/8th inch, you have
to remove 1/16th inch on each of the two arcs
b) it's tricky to create a straight edge where the two arcs
intersect because even a minor miscut (too deep or too
shallow) - on either arc cut - is obvious

Should you introduce a quarter twist by placing the centers on one
end 90 degrees relative to the other end

2. you have all the fun and games of (1) above - compounded because
the edge created by the intersecting arcs is twisted. This
requires
some interesting mental gymnaistics - with the accompanying
risk of "pulling something" - and there ain't no brain
chiropractors
though a warm compress, applied to the forehead (or in my case
a 6 or 7 head) does help with brain cramps.

Anyhow - here are two pics of my budding odd little forest.

Fun this woodworking thing - turning being the funnest - most of
the time.

charlieb,

maybe it's my software, but your pics came through about 15%, then zebra
stripes...

most stuff is ok, usually, with my newsreader, xnews.

seeing your pictures would be rather cool.

I had the same experience as patriarch. Maybe reducing the picture size
(file size) would help?

I got them just fine ... surprising since I'm on the Vista laptop, and using
Windows Live Mail beta to boot. Surprise surprise!

I'm using a cheap laptop running Vista Home basic, but Xnews for news,
Eudora 7.1.0.9 for email

This laptop insists on updating a mail filter for windows mail, but always
fails to complete it, so I don't like to try running it, but will test
this. Maybe it's the verizon news server that screwed up for me

Oops, I can indeed access that posting with Windows mail. It looks there
like a text message with 4 attachments - 2 dat files and 2 jpgs. Double
clicking the jpg attachments opens them in Windows photo gallery, YECH!

OK, fixed that to use Irfanview, much better, THANKS!

But I still don't understand why Xnews did not show the jpgs.

That one came through just fine. Looks like a fine afternoon of making
shavings and learning how things work.

Well let's try a url to the pics

That is MUCH faster than downloading from a Verizon news server.

Thanks, Charlieb!
