If single axis turning is addictive - multi-axis turning is addictive
AND
"challenging". Relatively speaking, single axis turning is like
checkers
while multi-axis turning is more like chess, requiring thinking things
out
in advance and seeing three or more cuts ahead of where you
are at any point while turning a piece. I hope to Buhdda / Buddha that
I don't look into segmented turning - my brain's already approaching
its limits.

After doing two pairs of centers and two intersecting arcs, with
and without a quarter turn twist, I didn't think 3 Arc turning would
be any trickier - I'm only adding one more center and one more arc.

WRONG!

With all the avenues in the turning world to explore this one looks
very promising - and "challenging". At some point I'm gonna have to
stop saying to myself - "I wonder what's around THAT corner?"

NOT!
