Brilliant John! I would never have conceived of turning the ball INSIDE the cage, although I couldn't see any other way to do it. I've seen the 'cage in a cage' one where you drill each face with Forster bits, but this is just stupendous. Thanks for taking the time to show us.

The only reason things are way beyond most turners is confidence the only way forward in turning is to try have a go God only knows the amount of times I have stuck a lump of wood on the lathe and not had a clue trial and error is a great teacher you will never forget what you have learned but you pay for a lesson and I will guarantee you will forget some of what you paid to learn if you fancy it have a go at it the first one wont be perfect but you will get better I love nothing more than discovering how to do something on a lathe myself

I agree entirely Woody it is all about confidence. After all it is only a bit of wood and if it gets messed up there is plenty more out there!!!!
