If you can, find a copy of the December 2001 WOODWORKER'S JOURNAL . It contains an article on making a large (or small) dowel from a square or rectangular piece of stock. The article is on page 38 and describes the making of a Candleholder. It takes a lot more time than a lathe, but then when you don't have a lathe.... creativity is the solution. Worked for me.TerryS said:

If I have to turn long parallel lengths of timber. After knocking off the corners and getting near to diameter. I use a hand plane on the wood, and slowly shear lane from end to end. It does not dig in, and leaves a terrifically smooth cut. Very little protruding plane blade is necessary.
I find it useful though
... especially for new comer like me.

Many thanks, just what I'm looking for at the moment.

Hi Dominik
Your pictures did not appear. Were you trying to put them with the text?
To insert pictures you need to go down below the message box to where it says 'Attach Files' and 'Manage Attachments' and load them from there.
Why do you think turning an ostrich egg would be dangerous? You could rough it out on the bandsaw first to minimise the intermittant cuts.
Otherwise, you could build something like this, but increase the dimensions to accomodate the diameter of your egg. Sorry, I just realised that the image I wanted was on my office machine and not here, so I'll have to post it tomorrow.

Thanks Darek I think about that
Why dangerous ?
Unfortunately I have simple height speed lathe. I don have extra equipment and cant change speed.

I get a lot out of old posts too, Dominik. My post wasn't being critical of you.
Peter, Dominik's pictures aren't posting because he has to make 10 posts before you can post pictures or URL's.
Dominik, it doesn't take but a few minutes to get your 10 posts. Just visit some forums and comment on what others have posted. The 10 post requirement is designed to minimize spam, especially automated spam.
