#MULTI AXIS WOODTURNING PROJECTS FOR SALE FREE#
While multi-axis turning can appear to be free flowing and sculptural, careful calculations and planning are essential to achieve specific results. Depending on the setup, the finished piece may be football-shaped in cross-section, symmetrical or seemingly free form. Multi-axis turning involves mounting a blank in an offset position, turning all or part of it, then repositioning the blank and turning some more.

In 1978, after receiving his master’s degree from RISD, Mark moved to Rochester, New York, to work for an office furniture manufacturer.
When Mark graduated, Frid asked him to run the school’s woodshop.

But the program was conceptual, not hands-on, which was what he wanted. “My parents were okay with me going there as long as I majored in architecture so I could get a job,” Mark recalls. After graduating, Mark was accepted at the Rhode Island School of Design. He had the good fortune of attending a high school with a special arts program run by a rigorous teacher, where he learned about shape, color and the basics of art and design. “I doodled WAY more than the average kid,” he explains. Mark, who is 60 years old, became enamored by art at an early age.
