Not sure on the opening size on your vase , but I have a round bar Sorby type tool rest that I turn to run in line with the lathe bed and insert it inside the vase opening
This way you can then slide the tool along the rest inside the vase and get lots more support and lots less white knuckles

Hi Jim

If you would like to join in our friendly little challenge , albeit it is winding down with only 4 Challenges remaining for 2011 , You are most welcome

I will add you to the list of entrants

I assume you have seen the rules and requirements post ?

 

[Hudson Carpentry]

Is the no segmented work the normal rule of no more than 3 pieces?

....how else do you sand down the inside :?:

You cut a fine saw cut in the end of a stick and wedge some abrasive in it and wrap round the stick in the direction needed to match rotation, poke down the hole and abrade the inner surface.

Just be prepared to let go if the abrasive catches, much more satisfying to see the stick spinning round than your finger.

Yes please

up to 3 pieces are fine but 100 (homer) #-o no

yes, i have one of them but due to the shape of the inside .... :idea: turn one, bulb shaped then it'll fit the curves :idea:
cheers chas, off to the shed

Ask Axminster if you can pop into one of the showrooms and use a demo lathe to make your entry as they cant deliver quicker :lol:
