Hei Guys,
There was a website that showed an American turning club who made
their own lathe (using a truck diff I think) to turn a bowl that was 8
or 10 feet in diameter.
Anyone have the link, tried google to no avail.
Thanks in advance
Paul

I think this is the original link, but it doesn't seem to be active any
more. http://www.proswoodturning.homestead..._Big_Bowl.html

I seem to remember a huge bowl on the site for the Olands, inventor of the
Oland hollowing tool. It may not be the one you're looking for, but you can
try a Google on Oland.

Hi the

I saw that also but to the best of my recollection it was NOT an
American turning club. I am certain it was an Australian Club that did
exactly that and turned a huge bowl. Unfortunately I have deleted the
link or I would send it to you.

Maybe someone from "down under" can help us.

Not quite as large in diameter, but one piece of wood.

That is a hoot - hoot!

I think that is a safe method - the known quality of wood used.
Nature can give nasty surprises.
