The process involved in any “lattice” is simple, turn grooves in opposite sides and on differing centres of a piece of timber so that where they meet there is a piercing. It really is that simple and this flat lattice is the basis for many variations of turning them so have fun and enjoy turning them.

 Great stuff Ralph, keep 'em coming.
|
|
 This is brilliant Ralph, Thanks for setting it all up, you've done a great job mate 
|
|
 Ralph. May i also add my thanks, excellent photo`s & text. I will definitely be giving this a go in a short while. Thanks again. Baz
|
|
Thanks I realy enjoy turning them ! and its all good practice for me too. Any suggestions for another project ? Ralph
|
|
Yes Ralph, make a square one and by not using a saw to trim it square!
|
|
Marc Do you mean a square edge piece like in the picture or a square lattice ? The first no problem, the second would need a bit of working out to see if it can be done ? Ralph
|
|
Ralph is there any chance of a photo of the back of the top photo please. Baz.

 How about a tube, with two helixs? The outside one at right angles to the inner. (Thinking about it, it would be easier to weave it than to turn it). Think of it as a left-hand screw thread on the outside and a right-hand screw thread on the inside. Good luck!
|
|
Yes Baz Here it is ... It measures approximatelly 9 inches in diameter and the bowl in the centre is about 1 3/4 deep & it was turned from Castello Boxwood
|
|
Ralph, sorry mate, the second one Mike, your cruel  Baz Are you thinking what I was wishing to do? 
|
|
Thanks Ralph, that's great. You don`t need an apprentice do you I`ve got excellent references for making tea & coffee. Cheers Baz.
|
|
Marc I think i have worked it out, a square Lattice, must try it out ? Baz my wife has the job.... well the tea part anyway ! Mike you lost me with "helix" but if you turn a tube you couldn't turn insida and out on two different centres.? Ralph
|
|
I'll be looking forward to that Ralph...........If it comes out OK, Please write up how you did it.........cheers
|
|
Ralph, I'm not after "you can't do it because........." -type answers! I gave you the challenge.......let me know when you have sorted it out!!!!!!!! Mike
|
|
Weren`t helix one of Asterix`s mates, Marc, in my state i`m lucky to be able to work out what i`m thinking let alone anyone else .
|
|
I think your right on both counts Baz...........second part, like me! 
|
|
Mike Ok just don't hold your breath ! Ralph
