I admire the quality of work and the tenacity of the turner but I think I might just sport a Legacy if I had This Commission

Nice one Chas.
I know how he feels.I think :shock:
I only made this little table with barley twist legs,and this was enough for me. :roll: I was enjoying it till the sanding started.
My fingers,wrists,forearms,shoulders,and neck were aching for days.Loads of sanding by hand
Just one of those projects that once started you have to finish.
I think i gave in a little near the end,and sort of rushed it

Nice table Paul, and your right. Spiral work is one of the most labour intensive parts of woodturning, cutting as well as sanding (IMO).
I suffer from arthritis and use power sanding as much as possible so if I have to do a largish spiral I tend not to do any more than a double twist so as I can sand it while the lathe is running. Then I just run my hand along the spiral, also I confess to using very coarse paper to start, usually 60-80 so it cuts the saw and tool marks easily and blends the shape reasonably quickly.

This youg fellow did a real nice work and din't go the router way!
Sturat Mortimer would be proud.
I love spiraling, but it is a lenghty and painful process, that's why I always have several in the pipe, because sanding is kind of a realy boring work.
But...
when you are finished with hell you feel like you are in paradise admiring what came out of your work
