JNewman Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I thought I would post a picture of a pattern I am in the process of turning. I will probably turn all day today and tomorrow add ribs paint and add a bottom on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNewman Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 This site has gotten too tricky to attach photos to. I will have to attach pictures next week when I have time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Goodness gracious. If that is as big as I think it is you are a very brave man. Edit: had a look at your website and saw "turned patterns up to 7 ft dia". Amazing work, patternmaking has always intrigued me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 That's a little gear. Truth be told, I got to measure finished, machined gears in that general size range. An appreciation for size comes when moving one with a fairly normal sized fork truck, and the steering is lose and light, touching the brakes causes a leaning feeling...Rules were ankle high or lower for a reason. Awesome work. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Partridge Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 That's impressive. I know competent patternmakers who would struggle at a fraction of that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
