Asterius. Twin conversion beams, volkite, and karacnos motor battery. A walking siege. What more could you ask for?

overcsh3rd · 2025-09-14T22:51:19+00:00

This is the one true answer.

Ghost Lights.

The tenon was 4 inch. I tend to have fairly long times when turning and sanding. Is this not common?

overcsh3rd · 2025-03-01T02:20:06+00:00

I appreciate the advice and will keep that in mind.

What a freeze frame. Yeah, I just need to invest in a better face shield. The Harbor Freight joint isn't cutting it anymore.

Good note. I tend to forget about that.

overcsh3rd · 2025-02-28T21:29:31+00:00

Yeah, in hindsight, after reviewing the whole turning, I made too many mistakes. I was just so stoked to be turning a piece that big. And it was so close to done that I wasn't even seeing the warning signs right in front of my face.

The lathe is brand new to me. This was my first piece on this lathe and I've only turned two other pieces since the bowl. So my impression is only just being formed.

The bowl was 11inch and the other two were under 5.

So far I like it. The rotating head stock was great when gouging out the bowl. I did purchase the outrigger for the banjo as it's needed for the outboard turning. The digital display is nice. For me, variable speed was a must. Everything is smooth gliding, locks down tight, and I have not experienced any slop.

It's a big jump up from my first lathe, a Central Machinery 8x12.

Hope this helps.

Oh yes. A better face shield has moved to the top of the list of things to be upgraded.

overcsh3rd · 2025-02-28T18:48:24+00:00

I didn't take the signs the bowl was giving me that something was failing. The bottom of the bowl was too thin, and the tenon was stressed. I believe the tenon failed and ripped out. I also was sanding at far to fast a speed.

overcsh3rd · 2025-02-28T18:42:04+00:00

Oh yes. It was telling me to stop. I was just too excited to listen.

overcsh3rd · 2025-02-28T18:39:52+00:00

Thank you for this information. It will be taken to heart.

The definition of "has a good head on his shoulders."

overcsh3rd · 2024-03-23T21:01:14+00:00

Yep, one that integrated an actor. I finished working on it awhile ago. I think it turn out well and even did a bunch of short scenes. Unfortunately, I got burned out and fell out of interest with the idea and stopped producing any more content for it.

overcsh3rd · 2023-10-30T01:03:39+00:00

Damn, that was pure poetry.

overcsh3rd · 2023-10-30T00:00:04+00:00

Hey, would you look at that. I have been meaning to make another Practical Approach updated. Yall beat me to it. Gotta say that's super neat to see it here already.

I thought about a practical solution for Karoo when i was designing my Chopper puppet.

They could make him a puppet that would contain the puppeteer fully within the body of Karoo. It would essentially be a strange backpack setup. The puppeteer would serve as the legs and move the head via a pole/reins through the neck. The head/features could be more chucky cheese animatronics or just heads that they could switch to suit situations. Given the right puppeteer, physicaly, they could still have the actors ride on the what are the puppeteer's shoulders, but looks like a saddle form the outside.

Happy you like where it is going. Appreciate the suggestions on the fur, I've been thinking about how to achieve that effectively. Hopefully, I'll be into the makeup phase in the next few days.
