Eccentric Turning"Plan" Method

I could not find it in there. I have never used the usernet stuff before, any help suggestions to find your file? I found the category, but have been unable to locate your file. Thanks, Brad HardingPens.com

Here's the actual message "suject" Eccentric Turning - Between Centers Eccentric Turning"Plan" Method It's there because I just viewed it.

What are you using to get to usenet groups and see messages? If you come in from web portal via just a web browser, the web portal may show you only the text part of the message and skip the attachment(s) - sometimes showing just "image" or "picture" or "[attachment]

Try again with a "news reader" - Outlook Express will do e-mail and newsgroups.

If you still can't get to the image then e-mail me, my address is goof, and I'll send you the image. It's a 48K GIG file about a page and a half long.

If that doesn't work maybe I'll put up a page on my website - though I'm having a space problem at the moment.

Taking Derek's suggestion to put the example of the graphical method for planning an eccentric piece up on a web page - here's the url

Thanks Charlie!! Some of us don't have access to the binaries groups.

I apologies for going off on your suggestion and blog spot. You offered a constructive suggestion and I only saw the down side to visitors in terms of the ads.

While learning a new woodworking techinique/method I often put together instructions for myself. As an amateur/hobbyist/addict, I tend to jump around the woodworking realm and not get back to a technique for months or years. The notes/instructions to myself shorten the relearning curve later. My hope is that these notes/instructions can shorten the newbie's learning curve and get someone to try what he/she thought was too complicated or difficultt to even attempt.

To that end, I'm trying to come up with a way of visualizing what, for a given pair of end centers, is the "solid/common" shape,the "shadow shape" and the "null point" of an eccentric pair of centers.

My first approach was too ambitious. I'm now workingjust on how the "null point" moves down the blank as pairs of centers on the diagonal of the ends changes. IF I get someothing that makes sense to me I'll put it up on my site - space permitting.

This turning thing is complicated - pat your head, rub your stomach, jump on one foot, AND whistle- ALL at the same time. Throw in sharp cutting edges that you roll and/or swing and things get really interesting - and fun!
