HSB Turning Torso is a skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden, located on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait. It was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories. Upon completion, it was the tallest building in Scandinavia, the tallest residential building in the EU and the second tallest residential building in Europe, after the 264-metre-high Triumph-Palace in Moscow.
The 86 metre high Kronprinsen was the tallest building in Malmö before Turning Torso.
The design is based on a sculpture by Santiago Calatrava called Twisting Torso. It uses nine segments of five-story pentagons that twist as it rises; the topmost segment is twisted ninety degrees clockwise with respect to the ground floor. Each floor consists of an irregular pentagonal shape rotating around the vertical core, which is supported by an exterior steel framework. The two bottom segments are intended as office space. Segments three to nine house 149 luxury apartments.
The Twisting Torso sculpture is a white marble piece based on the form of a twisting human being. Johnny Örbäck, former CEO of the Turning Torso contractor and Board Chairman of the Malmö branch of the co-operative housing association HSB, saw the sculpture in 1999 and contacted Calatrava to ask him to design a building using the same concept. Construction started in the summer of 2001.
One reason for the building of Turning Torso was to re-establish a recognizable skyline for Malmö since the removal of the Kockums Crane in 2002, which was located less than a kilometre from Turning Torso. The local politicians deemed it important for the inhabitants to have a symbol for Malmö — Kockumskranen, which was a large crane that had been used for shipbuilding and somewhat symbolised the city's blue collar roots.

Took this on thursday at the one of the neighbor's homes. The girls were playing chase around the couch.
Took me a while to figure out what this image reminded of. It is this video by radiohead:
Completed! I finished my first bin, then I did the same with my second bin, moving it over to where the first bin was previously. I move them back and forth, turning them, every 2 weeks for so. Eventually I sift the contents to remove the compost I use in the garden, but that will be a different set of pictures.

People have asked why we engine turned this strip on the dash. I thought the plain aluminum accent looked to plain. It is a cool piece of trim to be so plain.
I posted a question to the framebuilders list asking how to avoid making tapered cuts when turning a quill for a stem. One reason for tapered cuts is a worn lathe bed, which can be compensated for by "setting over" the tail stock.
Thanks to Jamie Swan on the frame builders list for giving me an email tutorial on how to figure this out.

My first Illustration in quite sometime, based on the buck elk I photographed a few weeks ago in GTNP (see the elk below). I am happy with the results and happier that I am back to making art that isn't 100% photographic.
Also... This illustration is on the cover of this week's JH Weekly! Go pick two up, and give one to a friend! :)
Not quite finished changing. Growing at >9000' up on Mt Lemmon in the Coronado National Forest which forms most of the northern boundary of Tucson, Arizona in the Sonoran Desert. More in Photostream and/or Flowers album.
I was turning into a street with no on-coming traffic when some moron totally ignores the stop sign slams right into my front panel of my car...breaking the axle.
All the turning has now been completed.
The turning of the offset journals was so difficult that we had to make a more robust tool holder!
This is part of the fence made from a variety of wheels welded together which is around a field and barn. The barn has been turned into an arts and crafts place. Some beautiful watercolors and artwork were on display inside.
The Wagon Wheel Fence and Barn are located just north of Uniontown, Washington on Hwy 195. www.byways.org/explore/byways/54775/places/62933/
CH®iS has posted a picture of the barn taken this year--http://www.flickr.com/photos/elliottcablefamily/3730975486/ He also has a nice connection to more information about the farm and barn www.artisanbarn.org/Default.asp
"Dahmen Artisan Barn by CH®iS.
Located on the north end of Uniontown, this barn was originally built in 1935 for commercial dairy use. Steve Dahmen later built the locally famous wheel fence, taking over 30 years to do so. It now includes more than 1,000 individual wheels. The barn has even appeared in National Geographic, adding to its notoriety."

We visited this famous tower during our short visit to Malmö, Sweden. It was a beautiful sight. It is truly an engineering-marvel.
