I'm thinking Gary Max would enjoy this, but he'd need a hockey mask to go along with the turning tools ....

Pretty amazing. I watched the 10 minute video but it didn't show him actually using any turning tools. He just talks about the process.

That's about the largest microwave oven I have ever seen! Also, I wonder if he ever worries about kickbacks from that mounted chainsaw he is using? I didn't see any thing about the mounting to stop it from coming all the way over top of center if there was a kickback. Talk about splitting headaches! Yikes!!

Impressive large scale wood turning setup in the shop though. It would definitely be a place to visit, especially while he was actually turning a piece.

Thanks for the link Mike. :biggrin:

Yeah, I kept waiting to see the work in progress.

He has a slideshow of the process on his website. Interesting stuff!!
