Really nice, pottz!
All of these turning projects being posted makes me wish I had a lathe.

hey tell santa you need one ? once you try turning you'll get addicted and that means spending a lot more money.

Definitely worth the salt...
I don't even know what that means, but it's a nice cellar.

Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.
Very nice Pottzy....

Looks really good and the perfect idea for our club's Christmas trade around.
Ron Stewart, look for a local turning club and attend a few meeting. You will be surprised at how often old guys like me sell off our lathes. I just downsized this month.
Thanks for the idea, Stroland. The problem I have is there's no more space in the garage. I'll just have to keep admiring the turning projects from afar.

Look for Patrick Stewart's disappearing lathe plans on U Tube, watch his vid on how to make it and it uses the hand drill you most likely already have. When you are done using it, put it on a shelf (disappearing it).

Stroland: I just watched that video (by Patrick Sullivan, if anyone else is interested), and that’s an interesting idea. I don’t guess I’d be turning bowls with it, but it’d be good for small items. In one of the forums, Duchy made me laugh when he told someone to turn a drill press picture sideways and tell Little Black Duck it was a lathe. But this guy did if for real!
Sorry about hijacking you project’s comment section, pottz.

Looks great Pottz! I’ve got a chunk I’ve been looking to do something with, maybe I’ll may SWMBO one as a stocking stuffer…
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
yeah she'd probably love it.
