All rotations and scalings are always done relative to the origin, or 
absolute location <0,0,0>.
Any rotated object not situated at the origin will orbit around the 
origin as it rotates.
Any scaled object not at the origin will move as it is scaled.

The best way of doing your rotations, and scalings, is to create the 
object to be rotated with it's point of rotation situated at the origin, 
rotate it THEN translate it to it's final location.
