Hi all, Been a while since I was on due to a whole load of different reasons - mainly a few surgical procedures which kept me away from the tools, and a house move which meant that nothing has been set up to use until now. Hopefully that's me done with them all, so can get back on with making...

This was my first effort for the competition, but changed my mind after I took it off the lathe and did another one. This one's sapele - first time I've used this, and it cuts nicely IMHO - approx 6" dia, 3" high. Didn't take the bowl even close to full depth, as wanted to create the illusion...

Finally got my cast off. :D The broken & cracked bones have healed without the need for surgery, just need the ligaments & tendons to follow suit. Back next week for an injection into my tendons (I feel an ouchy moment coming up :cry: ) which should speed things up a bit there. As for the...

Still nursing my broken wrist, I got fed up doing almost nothing (plus, I could hear the lathe shouting that it's been lonely) so I decided to see if I could try & make something. Ended up with this little bud vase. Approx 3" tall & 1.5" across. Not perfect, but Im pretty happy with it since I...

Now that woodturning is well & truly in my blood, I'm going to have to leave my lathe alone for anything up to 3 months as I broke my wrist (scaphoid) last night playing footy. :( Why did I ever decide to become a goalie??? Oh well, roll on January......................

Hi guys, Been a while since I posted anything, as not been able to get any pieces made due to a variety of reasons. Anyway, having become a little bored with constant spindle work I decided to make an attempt at a goblet/chalice/cup type thingy. I think this would come more into the chalice...

Hi All, I seem to be getting the hang of using the scrollsaw for making these bandsaw boxes - although I'm sure the Mrs will agree I need a bandsaw soon enough!! :lol: :lol: This latest one was made by request for donation to a fundraising auction being held next weekend by the Alba Wings...

Hi all, I finally decided to stop just scraping away to make firewood and plunge into making something. Found a piece of pine lying under the workbench, and remember the Mrs had asked (nay, insisted) that once I could I should make some new candlesticks. Nothing fancy compared with the pieces...

Hi all, Decided that as my sister is a nightmare to buy birthday gifts for, I'd make something for her instead. Wanted to go for the unusual though and stray away from straight or turned cuts, and do something freehand. I'd seen a few variants of bandsaw boxes, so decided to try one for...

Hi everyone, I'm not long qualified as a craft carpenter, so still kinda finding my feet. Been a qualified mechanical craft engineer since 1989, and thought it was time to get qualified in what I love to do - playong with bits of wood, and making them into pieces of art. :D No doubt along...
