Well, here it is. Started cleaning up again, that is NOT my favorite pastime. There was this bit of camphor laurel just sitting there minding it's own business, and came to my attention. Mmmm, just about the right size for this exercise. It measured 180mm x 200mm and 75mm thick, just right.
I squared it up to 155mm square and fixed to the face plate with two screws. Align the two screws on a centre line, towards the end grain. This will be the side that forms the centre "column".

Mount it in the lathe.

Turn to shape. The shape doesn't really matter and depends on your own ideas. This will be the outside of the bowl. Leave a "foot" about 80mm in diameter. This will be used to re-chuck the bowl.

On a second face plate, mount a waste block and turn it to the same shape as the "foot" on the bowl.

Use the lathe as a press and glue the "waste" block and face plate to the bowl.

That's it for today, got to wait for the glue to set properly. Can't set up for an accident now can we? It is nearly stubby o'clock.
