Chain Saw as a turning tool?

[randyrls]

I have never considered a chain saw a turning tool.

In Sept our local turning club is hosting Liam O'Neill. One of his programs is how to use a chain saw as a turning tool. EGAD!

I am always amazed at what some people can do with a chain saw.....

I saw Stoney Lamar do that in St. Louis, 25+ years ago. I wasn't thinking creatively enough at the time to appreciate it. I was basically trying to figure out what a bowl gouge was back then.

I saw a video clip where someone made a segmented vase and used a chain saw to trim the segments round. I think the clip was for advertising a Vicmark? lathe. The vase was about 6' high and about 3' diameter.

Why am reminded of what SWMBO says is a male mantra - " More Power"

That looks a bit too dangerous for my blood. I think I will pass on giving that a try.

I had the pleasure of seeing and gabbing for a while with Liam in New York last September.
The demonstration is excellent, and how he uses the saw on the lathe is a sight to behold in a good way.

Go watch and enjoy it.

And ask him if hwe is using the Jamison Grind yet. :biggrin:
He might remember where that question came from.
