Tim that is AWESOME! You know I was playing about in the shop last week trying to do something very much like this. Only I cheated, I use PVC plastic piping, for the shell. Mine projects ended up breaking, but I was not using a good router bit I was just seeing if it would work. I still it think I will, and for little cost and even less effort, this idea,just might be a good worm up for your suggested project.Tim.
Have a good night all.

It's an open box if you will. These types of forms could be used to hold a candle votive or a potpourri case. I see all sorts of potential here. I've attached an interesting article that describes making one. The author cites two ornamental turners that I admire and the author of the article is becoming quite accomplished in his own right. I think if I where to attempt these designs on the legacy I would leave the walls of the cylinder thicker, make the indexed cut with a liner inside the tube for support and to act as a waste board. Then turn the outside of the cylinder down to however thin you would like. This would eliminate some of the fuzz problems IMHO. For the doubters in the group, if you think this level of detail is not possible on the Legacy I challenge you to go out in the shop and give it a try. I think it's well within it's capabilities and you will be surprised. Actually, I challenge everyone in this group to making a version of this project. How about it, any takers? -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
