Watch this fascinating experiment in multi-axis woodturning!
Each dished compartment will have to be turned on a completely different axis and the wood will always be off-center and off-balance while being turned. To add difficulty, the wood will be flipped over, remounted and the opposite side of each dished area will be turned as well.
After the woodturning is done the mounting points will be cut off, followed by what I hope will be some minor finish sanding. Other than that, the entire piece will be completed using only a lathe.
Can this actually be done?
I certainly hope so. This is a legitimate experiment and even I won’t know how the project will work out until the very end of the video shoot. Even if the result is less than ideal, the video will still be fun to watch!
