    Any ideas what this is?

    I apoligise if this is in the wrong forum.

    2012 May Challenge ( discussion thread )

    The Platters that I am making keep turning into bowls. So I am going to have one last try today as it's the last chance to enter. My problem is that I need a larger lathe so that I can make something of a decent size. Terry
