HelloRoger. I have read a lot about turning stone (soap stone, and Alabaster) but so far I have not tried to turn them yet.Thank you.More latter.C.A.G. On Friday, June 12, 2020, 10:16:51 AM EDT, Bawdsey64 <rhp...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Mac & Curt
I have turned and hollowed stone on my NOVA-DVR Lathe see pictures. The material is Soapstone which like Alibaster is a very soft stone with a slightly waxy feel. That little pot of mine is 2" diameter by 3.35" tall. Very enjoyable to turn and I can see no reason it would not turn on any Legacy manual machine. I have a couple of pieces ready to turn by my workshop door, one is pink the other a pale turquoise and other colours are available see Small Block pictures. You buy it by weight and you take aa rule to get some idea of size and what you think you may get out of it. Cheers Roger From: M.W.FoscueReceived: 12/06/2020 14:14:37 +01:00To:Curtis,Wow! Those various patterns on the columns are really nice.Must have been a artisan's "lifetime effort" - if done by one person.Thanks for sharing.Mac -----Original Message----- From: 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills Sent: Jun 12, 2020 9:04 AM To: Legacy ornamental mills Subject: Some more stone turnings. Hello everyone, I still have not given up on trying to make the zig zag spiral turning, but so for I have found out a few ways that have not worked. ;-( Any How I found this pix. that has some more stone turnings that I thought everyone might like. I have no idea, but where this is or the scale of the spindles? What I do like are the number of different roped patterns, I hope you all like this too? take care.
