@@KostasAnnikasDeftereos Thank You Sir. I am jealous that you can talk and think with a Greek mind. I have the Manuscripts of Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek. I would be able to understand what was really being said and ment. English just doesn't cut the mustard sometimes.

[@2300Kenzie]

Impressive. I'm surprised it didn't break. Good choice to carve the middle out. Even though the shape was interesting, the revealed grain is just as good if not better and there is still natural edge to show what it looked like before turning. Nice to see you back!

[@andreasoverbeck6280]

Again a video which teaches me a lot. this starts with the funny part with the piece jumping 4 times of. I lived that sooooooo often and I admire the philosophical position you have. Of course it relaxes to see, that this happens even to a master of the lathewhich you are. Just restart and never give up. The result of your high skills and the patience is a marvellous piece, really outstanding. I have a question: How do you determine the position of the faceplate? I see that after mounting it there are no vibrationes visible, which seems amazing to me. And of yourse I learned a lot about sanding. Many many thanks and congrats, marvellous piece

[@KostasAnnikasDeftereos]

Hello Andrea !!! Was an amazing making and I really enjoy it ! Yes it flights some some times but when you start work with something like that you know that can be some flights lol ! I just like to make an interesting piece and I am think I am done it well ! So the position of the faceplate..... hmmm that is hard to explain!

[@KostasAnnikasDeftereos]

First of all I choose the deeper part of the wood to be the base then I use pieces of wood to help the skews not go deep but have enough power and In the end ..... i was really lucky lol !!!

Ciao Kostastra tutti i commenti ho apprezzato il consiglio di Tommaso Ratano, credo che tu ne debba fare tesoro, e' vero che hai lavorato un pezzo alquanto difficoltoso, e non so quanti avrebbero avuto la forza di continuare e portare a termine il lavoro.

I solve those situations by flatting the base and gluing a sacrificial piece of wood where I can turn a big tennon. This way you save time by turning with hig rpm, save wood by not turning a tennon on the piece, and more important you work safe ;)
