Remnants from my Cubist Period

Keith, this is a wonderful piece, but I'm gobsmacked. I know you're very clever, but this exceeds my ability to comprehend 'totally turned.' Would some additional explanation be possible?

Hi Dean, Thank you!

First, turning a cube. Stock is turned on three axis points; true up two ends, change axis points, true up the ends. Rotate one more time, true up the ends. You have a cube. The tube? I will give you a clue. Imagine a bagel sliced down the center. Throw one half away. Now take the remaining half and cut it into two equal parts. Put the two parts together like you're making a sandwich. That is the basic idea. If I showed you, you would say “ah, simple”.

The basic idea, yeah but it's a square inside, hahaha....ya got me unless 4 sides done separately......

I love it Keith, very unique and cheerful. I never would have guessed you had turned the cubes!

Hi Charlie, what if I put a “v” cut, then put the pieces together?

Thanks, Keith. You have a marvelous way of combining original thinking with technical skill.
