There's been talk about the Dizzy Bowl but not a dizzy vase so that is what I want to try. I milled material today and glued the block required.
I will slice boards from my block at about 3/8 thick and then plane them to 1/4. I should get 6 boards to work with.
I will then mark the circles required. The first 4 will be solid and turned to accept my glass tube that will slide inside. After the first 4 rings the next 4 will be about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and will allow me to take a ring out of the centre that will work for the top of the vase.
I will mount the discs on the lathe supported by the tailstock pressing against a block on a faceplate. I will trim it round then apply a piece of tape to hold the disc when I separate the interior disk. I watched a video by Jim Rodgers on the Crafty's app showing his technique for a bowl from a board.
Stay tuned for the next round.
If you have tried a similar project don't hesitate to pass on your suggestions.
