I had some free time the other day, and a couple inch thick round of 9 1/2" 6061. So, I figured I'd turn out an ashtray for my buddy's Christmas present. There's practically no dimensioning, and I don't really have the tooling I needed to do this, but I thought it came out pretty ok for the first thing I've turned in about 27 years. Especially given the chinese inserts I had. I think it'd probably be a good idea to relieve the bottom minus a bit of a rim so it'll sit better on an uneven surface, and I don't have a mill for the cigar rests. Might have to see if the local guys have a ball mill that big and 10 minutes to do that. This is as turned, i didn't emery it.
