Now thats big!

[Skye]

The guy makes 10' diameter wall hangings.

 

[ed4copies]

Nice to see you drop by!!!

Stay a while and chat with us!!!
(Seriously!!)

 

[Mark]

Does he have a Chevy Big Block back there or what? That's huge.

 

[GoodTurns]

would not want to catch the tip while turning that one! major leverage on the gouge!

 

[RDH79]

I think I would want to wear more than a face shield.

 

[warreng8170]

I will be the first to admit that I am very lax about taking all the proper safety precautions when I am "just turning a little pen", but that thing scares the bejebus out of me. I don't want to think about what that thing would be like if it broke loose.

 

[Skye]

Thanks Ed, I'll try to stick around for a while

Yeah, that joker would snap an arm off!

 

[greenmtnguy]

Skye,
Long time, no see.

 

[austing458]

i love how he had to modify his FLOOR!! to make that thing fit...lol wow!!!!

 

[Gregf]

I'm fearless, but wow!
You'd only get one mistake with that guy.

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

Skye, good to see you back you've always spoke your mind and I for one appreciated it..

And no thats not sanding lines:biggrin::wink:....​

 

[sparhawk]

Welcome back Skye

 

[DocStram]

Hey Skye . . . how's it going!! Great seeing you post!

 

[aggromere]

I saw a video of a guy turning a segmented vase (really big) with a chain saw for his turning tool. But this thing is HUGE!!!

 

[lorbay]

Looks like a Oneway to me.

Lin.

 

[alphageek]

That is SERIOUSLY cool? Any web link or other info? I'd love to see more.

 

[greggas]

I'm guessing he doesn't use a screw check

 

[bitshird]

Hey Skye, good to see you again, I honestly don't think my stones would allow me to turn any thing that big, with the notched floor for a gap bed??? Nah I'll put my little BB's back in the sack and play with my little toy 16 inch lathe.

 

[nava1uni]

Wow, that is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Skye, nice to see you posting.

I'd want body armour!!!!!!!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

 

[LandfillLumber]

I attended a art sho about 12 years ago and seen a turner that used car rims for his face plates.He didn't do 10' stuff but he did 3" diam and 4-5' tall hollow forms.He had photo books set up of him doing it all from harvest(he used all salvaged logs0 to the final process it was cool.Some people need to push the limits that's why we have limits right??Victor

 

[Smitty37]

micrometer

Wonder if he uses a micrometer or a yardstick to maintain accuracy

 

[hdbblue]

Anyone else notice that he's turning in reverse -

and that does appear to be a Oneway banjo

It is a Oneway Lathe as well, you can also see the motor control panel to the right of him. My guess is he's removed the Oneway outboard bed extension and modified it for mounting to the floor. We just can't see the lathe, but my guess is it's a 2436 with a 3 HP.

Thanks for the kids welcome guys (and gal) good to be back.

I've met a turner a few times by the name of Anatoly Tsiris http://www.anatolytsiris.com/ who makes some huge hollow vessels. It's interesting to see how large some people go with their turnings.

 

[PR_Princess]

Hey Skye!! Welcome back. Glad to see you posting again! Hope that you have finally found a little time to "get back on that horse"! :wink::tongue:

 

[Skye]

Thanks lady

 

[DurocShark]

Does a Oneway go all the way down to 2 rpm?

 

[lorbay]

Does a Oneway go all the way down to 2 rpm?

Yep and slower.

Lin.

 

[DurocShark]

Hmmm....

I think I need to work on saving some money...

 

[TellicoTurning]

Bet you couldn't do that one in your closet?

Good to see you again..

 

[stolicky]

If that thing ever let loose it would go right through the wall and just keep going down the street!

 

[Skye]

Haha, I wasnt the guy doing the closet turning, I was the one who covered my whole living room in tarps while the wife was out of town
