Trunion – a large turning!

Miscellaneous
PreviousNext

This was by far my largest turning yet 17″ diameter x 7′ long.  It was a commission by a local contractor as a jig for making bridges.  The wooden trunion was used to set up the pieces, then the real metal was inserted.

It was over 500 lbs. when we started.  I used Ray Frase’s Oneway lathe to turn it.  It took four of us, a fork lift and a chainfall to get it in place.  It was amazingly well balanced.  Carl Pardy helped me turn it to size.  In total, it took us 12 hours.
