I turned a jar out of spalted maple and want to turn two ring ( donuts) and apply them to the side so it looks like a real greek water jar. Does anyone know of a video that shows any method of turning a full donut? Thanks,Gary
P.S. I searched google for one but came up blank.
 
Don't have time to look tonight but look up a Torus (I think that's how it's spelled) on you tube. It is donut shaped.
 
Gary,

March 2009 American Woodturner has an article called "Turning Lidded Doughnuts". Not exactly what you're looking for but might give you some tips. I also seem to recall there was another one about making interconnected donuts that talked more about creating the basic doughnut, but I haven't found that one yet.

[edit] Found it! Doughnuts, Anyone? by Neil Scobie. American Woodturner, Fall 2008, page 32.

I hate when I know something is out there somewhere, and can't find it... :-)

Good luck!

Danny

Danny, that seems to be the story of my life now. :)
 
Danny,
Thank you so much for your help. I went to my old issues and sure enough, the fall of 2008 had the article "Dounuts,Anyone". I really appreciate everyones help in finding articles. I am so lucky to find this forum for information.
I found a great club and a great place to ask for help---it couldn't get any better than that. Gary
