Yes, I agree with work this shabby you do need a new lathe. Since the old one obviously isn’t working right just send it to me. I have been lamenting the fact that I don’t have a lathe in my shop. As a non-turner I am sure I couldn’t make a mistake like this.
Seriously this is a nice piece. I will be honest with you when I initially looked at the piece I thought that it was made with a ring master. Wow. Enough said.

If your point is to convince the better half that you need a new lathe——delete this line & print the next.
Your work can only improve if you buy a NEW lathe. Keep on trying and you will acheve your goals.
I’m a non-turner but quality work is always impresive. Very nice!

Your lathe is so defective I ordered a new one for myself tonight. I can only hope mine is as defective as yours when it arrives. Great job.

It was not done with a ringmaster, if you look closely you will see it’s a segmented vase. How it was done? Well first the segmented vase is turned then you (with great care and intepidation) cut it in half at an angle with a bandsaw then insert a ring, glue it back together then turn it smooth, now repeat that 3 more times. I urge you to try one, it will improve your skill and it will try you patience.

You must have nerves of steel to cut an already good looking vase in half to add those rings. Great looking project.

A new lathe is definitely a good idea. Shabby work like that is inexcusable! Seriously, I pray someday I will be capable of doing work half that good.

I apologize for the ringmaster question, it is very good work. That would take nerves of steel, and yes I have seen segmented pieces done on a ringmaster. mike
