In 2003 I built a version of a Rose Engine or ornamental lathe.  I have built several others since then and Lathezilla (mine) has mutated over the years to do all sorts of work.  I have over 30 patterns, which can produce hundreds of different designs.

I offer the plans for Lathezilla to anyone who wants to build their own.  I ask that you make a donation of $20.00 to Freedom Pens for a copy.  See the Products and Services page for more information.

Now, my ornamental turning.

About my turnings

I turn for the fun of it.  I don't do a lot of the same thing twice.  A lot of my work goes to public fundraisers or auctions.  I'm an ardent supporter or WYES TV in New Orleans, have been for almost 10 years.
