More Multi-Axis Stuff - 3 Sided "Box"

Sep 27, 2007 0 Replies

If single axis turning is addictive - multi-axis turning is addictive AND "challenging". Relatively speaking, single axis turning is like checkers while multi-axis turning is more like chess, requiring thinking things out in advance and seeing three or more cuts ahead of where you are at any point while turning a piece. I hope to Buhdda / Buddha that I don't look into segmented turning - my brain's already approaching its limits.



After doing two pairs of centers and two intersecting arcs, with and without a quarter turn twist, I didn't think 3 Arc turning would be any trickier - I'm only adding one more center and one more arc.



WRONG!

With all the avenues in the turning world to explore this one looks very promising - and "challenging". At some point I'm gonna have to stop saying to myself - "I wonder what's around THAT corner?" NOT!
