>Fantastic, John.

However you are wasting your PM35320.... How about we swap - you continue your quest to see how small you can turn, on the Jet Mini; and I will see how big a segmented bowl I can do on your PM3520!!

I will even drive up to do the swap. What do you say?

>Mark you're killing me! Best part is, your proposition makes perfect sense!

John, that is amazing. You've lost your mind totally.

I found when I just got my 3520 I had to turn things as big as it would allow. After a bunch of 18-20 inch bowls I've settled back to reasonable sized items, but this is ridiculous!

>Mark I was thinking that I could rig up an outboard attachment to the mini to see how big I could turn. Maybe I could mount some motorcycle saddle bags over the bed and fill it with gravel.

I'd love to turn something big again. Or even just a medium bowl but I've got to get these projects done and I've had to work so much I don't have much time. It will end about the time I leave for the AAW symposium so when I get back watch out. Something big's a coming.

>Hi John,

That's really neat. The detail in something so

small is great. Do you sand at all?

I don't sand the goblets this size. The 3/4" I sand very lightly. I think I have the skills and tools to do a goblet this size which much better detail but I can't see it. I need a more powerful magnifier for my headpiece.
