The oval turned pieces shown in this gallery have all been turned by Johannes Volmer on ovalturning lathes designed and built by himself. These, mainly functional, pieces represent only a small selection of Johannes Volmer´s oval turned work since 1983. Different variants have been tested already but the possibilities of ovalturning are nowhere near exhausted.

 

The ovalturning lathes developed by Johannes Volmer guarantee quiet action even when fast running, and they are free of disturbing vibrations. These advantageous properties allow ovalturning directly in living areas which was impossible when using the classic oval chuck.

11.4  ELLPIN-Objects

 

ELLPIN is a device developed by Johannes Volmer for ovalturning long grain pieces. The figures are showing a selection of oval turned objects using this device (except the ladle).
Further experiments should help to discover the variety of shapes to be created by applying the ELLPIN device.
