This month's challenge was to turn a multi-axis weedpot. I was pleased to see a variety of creative turnings. Each of these entries was made differently, and are all fantastic in their own right. Once again, I think it will be a challenge for the forum members to pick their favorite. I want to thank everyone for participating--you are driving an interesting part of this forum. Cheers!
Now, the challenge for all forum members (this means you and me) is to choose a winner. Voting begins now and concludes at 11:59p-ish (USA Eastern time [UTC -5]) on Friday, 1 August, 2025. You are allowed two votes; once you have voted, you won't be able to go back and change your vote. After you have voted, you can track the vote totals. The voting is secret (just like an actual election), so nobody else can see who you voted for (not even the moderators/administrators). In case of a tie vote, the forum moderators will gather in a virtual waist-deep green shavings-filled shop to determine the winner.
As in all previous challenges, the winner might have to pass a lie detector test before being awarded the Grand Prize (rumored to be a non-functional Shopsmith lathe - a real fixer upper though!).
The following are this month's entries (including the replies). FYI, you can click on each image for a larger view:
