Yup, these are one of the things I wanna try when I get up the courage to start turning.

Thanks, Gerry.

One of the easiest ways to mess up when making any inside out 

turnings is when your cutting into the 4 parts. You need to be dead

You do not cut into four parts, you start with four same size parts. Then when you turn the parts and reglue for final turn is the easiest  place to mess this up . If you turn one wrong way or do not get all outside corners into the center  The alignment here must be perfect.

All the inside out items I made starts out whole.

After I turn my part the first then cut it 

into 4 parts and flip them. Different ways to do

the same job....

I have seen them done that way but have never tried it.  Either way it is done, accuracy is key.  The 90° blade setting is a must from start to finish.  The blank must be perfectly square to start.  The four quarters method allows for smaller stock to be used which is a real plus.
