Project Information

I just finished this protoype. I have seen Hans Weissflogg's turnings for years and have always wanted to achieve a vessel or box, or?? that uses his design ideas. I finally figured out the methods I needed to use to achieve the wall hanging?platter? This is way out of my comfort zone as I have never turned anything that I could see my headstock thru as I was turning it, nor that made such horrible sounds! A tad scary! I threw in an eccentric turning too, just to make it my own…I used a router, and a lathe, 2 chuck attachments, and an eccentric chuck to achieve this. Hope ya'll like it, and thanks in advance for all comments you take the time to relay.

I'm glad YOU figured out the methods because it is a head scratcher for me. At first I was thinking you had your router attached to your lathe, but now I think maybe you routed the slots in the back? Then turned the beads on the front? And then the eccentric turning to prove you are a little off-center? ;)
Very, very cool work. How thick is it?

Cool. I would be a little reluctant to see the headstock while turning. Looks like a lot of effort went into this. BTKS

You are a brave soul. Question: was the router used on the back fanned-out cuts, or elsewhere? It looks great.

Very Nice. I really like it.

I have seen other items using this type of relief from both sides. It has real potential for all kinds of objects.

Good job, the eccentric do-dads in the middle really add some design and whimsy to it.

Very intriguing. I'd like to see how this was accomplished, as it looks complicated.
