>Yes, this is a complete copying of a small basket from walnut by Tom Crabb. Tom quite graciously donated one of his small baskets to our Greater Ozarks Woodturning Symposium raffle while he was here, although he didn't demonstrate his baskets this time. I thought I'd give it a try from memory and here it is.
I thought about sending it to him as a gesture of thanks. It's nowhere near the level of his work but still...
Very cool!

>Thank you. All credit to Tom Crabb on the design though.
Ask and you shall receive... expect a link to a picture essay on this tomorrow. I'm making another one tonight. OR you can see it done, live, tonight at the link below. Not sure exactly what time I'll be starting but it's likely to be at 8pm. See the chat page at the link for updated details.
The Wood LatheCAM!
Even more COOL!!

>Ohhh, sorry to hear that you won't be able to make it. Well, look for the link to the article/photo essay here tomorrow morning (late, probably).
It's not a new concept to do a webcam for a wood lathe. A professional turner (Dave? somebody) in Kansas City had the lathecam.com domain for awhile but that didn't last long. He had a good setup there. For mine, it's pretty cheap at the moment. That's going to change drastically soon though.
Anyway, you'll have to check it out sometime later then. Somebody has to work; we can't all play, right?
