Another bottle

Very nice Mike!

Very Nice job. I recently bought a couple of books on turning and would like to try that out myself. Again nice job and thanks for sharing.

Looks great Mike!! I admire all you folks who turn fragile vessels. Maybe one day for me.

Turning for me is like instant gratification. I did tire of it after awhile, but I’m getting interested again. If you have only done constructed things before, I’m sure you will find turning to be very fun and a lot less measuring twice and cutting once. If you turn wet wood, you won’t even have sawdust. What could be better than that?

Looks good from here. I got a lathe a couple weeks ago, now I gotta get it set up and going.

Thanks guys. Congratulations on the new lathe Bob. I hope you enjoy turning as much as I do. Let me know if I can help you in any way.

I am surprised that you describe this as a bottle maybe different cultural language, but I would consider this a vase.A very nice vase but never heard of it being described as a bottle still you learn something new each and every day again very well done Alistair

Well Alistair, I called it a bottle because it has a neck, maybe as a compromise it should be called a vessel instead. In any event, you wouldn’t want to try storing any good malt whiskey in it, because the endgrain in the bottom would leak through like a sieve. Thanks for your nice comments.

Mike, i’m sure I’ll need a pointer or two when I get it set up. In the mean time, come on over and help clean out the shop :-)) Sold a 100# anvil today, that’s a start ;-)) Hope I don’t regret that. Like the guy that bought it said, they are hard to find.

Ok Bob, I’ll be there as soon as I get my own shop cleaned up. What kind of lathe did you get? i hope it’s better than mine. There is many a time I could have used an anvil. I have considered buying one. We have a Swedish store here that sells them. My best turning tip is to get your hands on some good instruction books, videos, magazines,etc. and maybe there’s a Local chapter of the American Woodturners Assoc. you might consider joining. All that will get you off to a really good start.

It’s a 36×14 Craftsman. It has a head that will turn 90 degrees off to turn big stuff:-))

There is a chapter of the wood turners a few miles south and another WW club a bit east of there. They meet the 1st Monday of the month, but I forgot until it was too late, Maybe next month I’ll check ‘em out.

Have fun with it Bob.
