Ron that is some Very nice work you have there! The elliptical bowl is something that I have spend a lot of time on, over the years.(sadly with little success .) Perhaps when I get some more time, I will be able to get my Legacy oval jig working as I hoped for? Please stay health Ron, I cant wait to see what you will come up with in the future. ;-) C.A.G.

I was looking at doing it using segments which would save a lot of wood. The problem is the segments are not the same as in a circular bowl at a givenring level. The angle to cut segment ends at are not equal and vary within the ring. With exception at the major and minor axes based on the segments bisecting the axes. Burnie was considering graphing the given ellipse and measuring the angles. I addressed calculating them using developed equations. The determination would be for only one quadrant since the other quadrants would be the same. Burnie and I had a lot of discussions about the legacy and improving and increasing its capabilities. I miss his discussions as well. I make all my bowls using segments. My bowls are about 14 inches at the largest diameter and about 9 inches in depth. I use my Shopsmith to turn them. The diameter and height prevents me from using the Legacy. I have considered making the rings on the Legacy and assemble them and then turn the bowl on the Shopsmith. However, I haven't tried it yet. Due to health issues I haven't been in the shop much I have attach some pictures of my bowl in construction and complete.

Burnie and I had many conversions over the years, ( I do miss him.) I have not had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Gold. (But I know Tim would very much like to see that VB script you were talking about. ) The CNC world is something right out of the Si-Fi comic books. Amazing stuff. and way beyond my comprehension at this time. Since you own a 1000 ex. I can explain how I made my Wave attachment, (with pictures) If you want to make your own attachment for your Legacy. Its pretty easy to do. Plus as I already stated, the cutting method is unique.Have a good night. C.A.G..

This software was developed by Mr. Gold in North Carolina. I don't recall his first name. He worked with Bernie modifying his Legacy with roller bearings on each axis to improve carriage movement. He also helped Bernie in upgrading his Legacy to CNC. Bernie was a member and he passed away a few years ago. Mr Gold sent me a picture of a column where sine wave was cut on a CNC machine using his software. I produced a report a few years ago that provides the equations and software code for the generation of sine waves, half circle, ellipticle, zig zag or triangle and square wave patterns on circular, multisided or tapered columns. I refer to wave forms along the column as strings of pearls. I also produced modifications to the equations and software to provide the same waveforms around either end or both ends of the column which I refer to as bracelets. I also provide equations and software for spirals wave forms. I also have an approach for curvilinear waveforms for the rotary table. All these are for CNC machines. The software is in VB script. I don't have CNC machine. My Legacy is the 1000ex. I don't have the capability to compile the VB script to produce the required G code. I put the report on the shelf about 6 years ago. I haven't yet but I will send a copy of the curvilinear wave report to Tim. We work together on wave form generations using the rotory table.

The wave attachment, is something that is uniquely OURS, that is the LOM group's, No one else can easily make the same type of designs, Ive had wood turners ask me how I made that? even Guys with OT machines can not do a wave, THAT is Cool (in my book/ a feather in my cap, so to speak !) ;-) Have a GREAT DAY.
