Thanks John. There will only be 2 or 3 parts to this one. You will see, but it is pretty straightforward. It should look good if it matches what I can picture in me mind, but let's find out if reality will bite again.
Quick and easy! You're a remarkable man Mike. One question - why can't you turn a hyperboloid? Isn't it circular at any cross section? I'm sure I'm too dim to understand the answer but I'll ask anyway...
Thanks Mark. I guess if you made a template of a hyperbolic curve to make the curve you would get something close to a hyperboloid, but this way means that the curve has to be a hyperboloid (at least that is my understanding). If you look at my string art goblet it might help understand, I could trace the curve from that and turn it, but would have needed to construct it from straight lines first.
It's a good question. I was trying to figure out a way of turn away most of the bulk before fluting, but would need the exact curve first and I can't visualise it or draw it in 2D.
Another neat project to follow through the various steps. 😊
Crazy, Lunatic your must be talking about me! Lol 😂😂😂
Looking forward to seeing this project!
What can one say. Amazing. Look forward to the next instalment.

Lunatic project did someone call me? I’m here for this. The more unusual the more intriguing.
Haha. I knew all the nutters would show up. Thanks Linda.
