thanks for the link,

great stuff !! .....nope wrong word, the turnings are too good to be called stuff.
every link on his that i visited has great ideas.

Mabey i could get him to put my link on his site. Under the heading of "what not to do" .....[:D]
 
Very clever guy. Looks like he came up with most of the fixtures, tools, and methods needed to do a lot of that. His drawings are excellent as well. Very impressive stuff.
 
If you want to give this a try, get the book "woodturning Wizardry" and study it. I have a buddy who makes stuff like this and he says it's easy and repetitious. you can make your own Chinese ball tools or you can buy a nice set from Craft supply.

I've seen my buddy make the stuff and it is all in the fixturing. Fix it to the lathe correctly and you will have no catches and it will come easily in time.
