Richard Raffan turns a large pawn on a small lathe for the 11th. 4-Ways project. 

The 28 kg (62lbs) blank has my small lathe vibrating somewhat, so you see how I cope with that and the problems arising. Getting such a large blank on the lathe is a challenge and you see a monumental catch.
This is the 11th. 4-Ways project. 4-WAYS comprises Sam Angelo, Mike Peace, myself, and Tomislav Tomašić who suggested that having four turners publish their approach to one project at the same time should be interesting. 4-Ways publish after noon on the first of each month, US time, which is evening in Europe. For Australasians it’ll be the 2nd. morning of each month. Each video has links to the others.
