For woodturners, multi-axis turning offers a means to go beyond just ROUND. And one of the things multi-axis turning opens up is to play with ARCS - intersecting arcs - and - TWISTS (up to a quarter turn twist)

BUT - multi-axis turning is a bit trickier to connect CAUSE to EFFECT and as a result, OUTCOMES can be difficult to predict. What you WANTED and what you ACTUALLY turn can be quite different.

Well - lucky for us, Barbara Dill has been working on bringing a bit of Order To Multi-Axis Turning's CHAOS. And even luckier for us, she's written to very helpful papers on both the concepts behind multi-axis turning, as well as HOW TO, been demonstrating her approach - AND recently done a very good DVD on the subject.

Her two "papers" on Multi-Axis Turning can be downloaded from her website - for FREE at

After you've checked out here multi-axis Gallery, you might want to consider ordering her DVD. Text, charts, tables and illustrations are great - but seeing things IN ACTION is even better. And some of the camera angles can show you how a spindle gouge is used well in the hands of someone who really knows how to use it.

As always, comments, suggestions, constructive criticism are always welcomed.

ps I have no monetary connection, nor will reap any benefit other than the satisfacton of turning people on to good stuff, by suggesting the purchase of Barbara's DVD.
