Off Center Turning on Lathe

[Chewy]

Just when you thought you saw it all! My wife found this.

Not for me, I guess I'm not adventurous.

I wouldn't have thought to shifting a jaw like that. I would be too concerned about the clamping being insufficient and switch to a 4jaw. It obviously worked, so for more artistic items where the exact offset isn't important, it might be a nice trick. Particularly for people with difficult to swap chucks.

Really cool though.

Thats the one that made the 8 ball from stainless to sit on top of it right?
Neat idea.

Brass is too expensive for me to flitter it away like that. I have some pigeonholed and will make good use of it when the time comes.

Wow. The video for the construction of the dead blow hammer that pops up after it is pretty awesome, too.

I don't know about that. I've made lots of similar looking parts. For some reason I seemed to be making most of them after skipping a couple months of AAA meetings.

That is one messed up crankshaft...

That reminds me. I need to level my lathe.
