Paul - you are a craftsman. I was impressed when I saw one of them at M&D, but seeing them finished I now can only say WOW. Beautiful work. You have to give me a lesson on offset turning.

I'll second that! I know from firsthand experience how difficult it is to get those right, quite an accomplishment, Chris.

Thanks guys, I would be glad to show but I figured it out with a specific lathe & attachments. To borrow a movie line "Abbynormal".
I have been trying to figuring how to with a "Normal" lathe but keep seeing potential probs so I dont know what to say. I can give the basic principle then maybe you can see something I dont.
One thing is for sure is there too much to it to explain here
