My friend sent me this video a few weeks back; simply awesome IMHO; I don't have a lathe but it sure makes ya think:

Hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did.......

I saw that when the video was posted and thought it was pretty cool. Very time consuming but cool.

Definitely interesting but what is it exactly? I mean I know it's a segmented turning which in itself is very cool and very time consuming but what function other then something to look at is it? Not that it has to have a function but I was looking for him to maybe cut it in half thickness wise and carve out the middle as a fancy serving dish or something. No doubt he has both skill and patience.

Bet ya can't do that on a CNC.

Oh to have the patience and skill, it is amazing.

Certainly could, if I were inclined to put the time into gluing all those pieces together and had a reason other than 'I told you I could'. :grin:

Edit - this took all of 5 minutes to draw in Fusion 360 though I didn't bother with the appearance to create all the little pieces nor did I go to the CAM portion to generate the toolpath. I would cut halfway, flip the piece, then cut the other half. This is 14" diameter but I could go up to about 24" if I wanted. Is there a market? :wink:
