I was getting dizzy, so I put him in reverse for finish sanding.

No wonder Ken retired the diving board, he has a new play toy, the box not the lathe.

Hey Gang, I have just one question. When he's finished will he be a Bowl, Vase or Hollow Form?:D :D Or worse - what happens when he has that inevitable catch?

He won't be buffed.......too convex to be a bowl.....sure ain't hollow so a vahhhhhhse or HF is out of the question.......let's see.......what's that leave...............I know.........He's a bonker....or is that he's bonkers?:D
