The top half in work now, starting the build up on the brute and using the HF lathe to clean the rings up (I am still using the HF lathe). Dont look at the mess in the shop.
Got to keep my tools sharp, real sharp for this.
IPE cuts easy, this is the shavings
First row of open segments
Coming along nice now, starting to look knobby.
Rings are getting way too big to clean up on the HF lathe now, I can only go to 16" on it.
Almost there, really knobby looking now, its going to be fun to turn
Finished turning the inside and got it between centers to turn the outside, the top and bottom are not glued together, I will turn the outside, finish turning the inside sand it and put finish on the inside, then glue them together, and finish the outside.
