Lazurus:
The rule I stick to is
"You cannot make the inside larger than the outside"

You can, if you put the inside on the outside.... ;)

Bryan Milham:
You say you are not a beginner but I'll add that two mistakes beginners or not very accomplished turners make are:

1. To make the biggest thing you can from a piece of timber,

and

2. Letting the tool make the shape e.g. you did not or cannot control the tool properly enough to make the shape you see in your minds eye.

Woodcrafts:
My two rules are:- Keep it sharp and Keep it safe!

Paul Hannaby:
A few random thoughts on the subject -

Ask 12 turners how to do something and you will get 13 answers.

There are no "rules" other than whatever you do, do it safely.

If what you make is suitable for it's intended purpose then it isn't wrong.

Too many people spend their time trying to please (or impress) other turners when if they just concentrated on pleasing themselves, they would a) be much happier and b) would produce better work!
