A unique turning

[Nubsnstubs]

Last night I watched this video. I thought it was pretty darn clever as I have never seen or heard from any turner about something like this. The wood turner also explains all the processes in very clear understandable steps, even though he's from somewhere in Eastern Europe and has a slight accent. His name is Tomislav Tomasic. He turns a ball that the hidden center pops out revealing a lidded box. I wish my lathe was operable cuz that would be the challenge piece I would enter, but Nova Teknatool is now ignoring me with my switch problem.

Check it out. It's a fascinating 54 minutes.

A friend has made several of these hidden-box-spheres, his set of 4 took first place in the Artistic category at Totally Turning this year. LINK

Yeah, I’ve watched a lot of his videos. I think he apprenticed under Richard Raffen years ago. Seems I remember hearing that on an old video. He’s very good about explaining what he’s doing as he goes along.

You can tell he's made more than a few of those. I'm not a turner but it's fun to watch.
