October 5, 201411 yr I gots me this honkin huge crotch. Wood porn pics below. It's been in the wood pile for better than two years so there's spalting. Anyway the thing is likely too big to just knuckle up and spin so I'm going to have to saw it down a bit. }}SOB{{ But I dunno gots da foist clue where to begins. This is what I think I'm going to do. 1) saw it so it fits the lathe. 2) find the center of the largest of the three crotch ends and mount a faceplate 3) start forming a spot to center drill for a center & install the live center. 4) leaving a column for the center hollow out the insides and form the outsides. There is where the train goes off the tracks I think I missed sumpin I know I gotta dismount it flip it around and work the base Maybe I should do this sooner? Maybe I should mount it sideways ? Sideways it might make an interesting wing bowl. Hmmm whadayathink?
October 5, 201411 yr I'm not a turner but, It looks like squaring it up so that the crotch figure is in the middle would be a good thing.
October 6, 201411 yr Saw the topic title an d just HAD to read the post. I'm not much of a turner so can't help on your problem. OK, I see the problem. The guy has his head buried in the lathe and somebody done cut his legs off. My condolences, Cliff.
