turning a bowl on a metal lathe

First of all, I would like to say that this is not a guide ... what I am describing is probably all relatively dangerous or something. And I take security very seriously; For others ... everyone needs to know what he she or whatever does. If you have never done something on a Lathe, it is probably not the project to start, although wood as a material is naturally suitable for starting.

So I had this relatively large clump of beech wood lying around. Some few holes from the wood bock but that's why you use wood (HeHe). My tip height is 195mm and I have full use in the octagon state.

My little trick is in the surface which comes anyway away 3 holes precisely on a circle and relatively far apart with some clearance for the shell, so you can put it into a 3 jaws chuck and the complete outer side to work. You also have 3 points which should all hold pretty well and evenly if you worked well.

Then I turned the shape outside with simple steels. This produces quite a lot of chips

The clamping of the bowl in a recess would leave clear marks and according to my calculations also not hold as well because I did not want to go so deep with it. So another trick? I have the recess on a round 10mm platten adapted so that it fits very very thight (if someone is interested or so gladly report then I make a drawing as the profile should be, so that is relatively easy to adjust)

After turning the bowl, I take out the inside with a cut off steel.

If you can use a drill bit as a tool holder and the surfaces smooth. So I did it. But is not very ergonomic but what can you do.

There were still a few holes to tend, so I repaired that with a piece of plum tree and sawn these feet out.

If someone is interested in such "articles" let me know. Also like to criticize, perhaps my stalk? Who knows I'm new here ... Thanks for reading
