Sorry, but I liked (as did the boss, SWMBO), the original idea of a table lamp :D http://db.tt/FEsD5uDu

Hi Al Mine is a 15" very thin platter made from Sycamore The side view is to try to illustrate the profile which the picture from above and below really didnt give. The decoration is pyrographed on then coloured using spirit stain. The burn lines stop the stain spreading along the grain The...

Been doing a couple of bits to get my hand back in Started on a platter for the comp, so hopefully on both Nev Well done on picking up and keeping that going. Very disappointing reading about Blister though. A real shame

Backs a lot better Paul, and regular visits to the chiropractor are keeping it that way!

Sorry to have deserted you all for an age. Turners bad back, daughters wedding, etc all conspired to keep me preoccupied for quite a few months. Still have some distractions, but hopefully will at least be able to do a few bits

My entry is a Celtic Dragon on Sycamore 350mm x 40 mm Centre panel is convex Design burnt in using Peter Child pyrography All sealed on Beal Buffing system

Hi all All a bit last gasp, I have had a bout of the turners friend, a bad back and not been doing much. In reading up the main consensus of a platter is a large serving plate so figured that was what I would go for Determined to get one in though so went for a simple serving plate of Steamed...

I just tried logging in to mark entry ready and the score board said it was too late to alter my status so i thought i would post here to announce i am good to go

Hi All a bit rushed this month. Old man having to take exams not good on available time Here is my entry Both made from single piece of Cherry. They are 8" tall

Here's my Cake! It is a Victoria Sandwhich made with my own Hens very bright golden eggs mmmmmmmmmmmm (sorry it had to be quality controlled to allow a photograph to be taken). Oh yeah, I nearly forgot .... by the way it is accompanied by my Tazza Cake Stand made in Cherry. Being a fruit wood...

There is nothing to say you can't get mr Kipling to make your cake!

In my opinion I would hold out to get one of the lots that comes up on eBay relatively regularly of a retiring turners hoard. Your budget is not going to get you all you need (as per Nev's post) as brand new. You money will be better spent getting a job lot.

Me too But the big problem is ..... To Doiley or not to Doiley that then is the question. Now off to cut the crusts off my cucumber sandwiches!

One word. Proportionality Have you ever looked at dolls house models? Perfect in every way except one twelfth the scale. If all proportions are right - including the cake - which then can be a cup cake no-one will be none the wiser. We have a cake tin which is 6" so if you can do a 6" blank...

You know Boysie - when your right , you're right! Time to pick up this whole dimension and give it a shove. Turning and Talking Balls for the last month certainly takes it all back to where we were, especially when you look at ians interpretation on Balance with the Ball on top.Another Month or...

I Just my rattling balls! :shock:

An amazing challenge. I think this has been the best of the competitions to date. The range of interpretations is outstanding Well done Nev really well deserved.

I do tend to agree with Peter. The pieces you are attempting are ambitious. But I must say that I was offended when I was told that I should spend the first year of woodturning doing repetitive open bowls ... Yeah right - like that was going to happen. As someone in his second year of...

Welcome to the forum Jane for what is to follow I apologise :oops: Thats right we can't all be jammy Welsh relying on poor eye sight of the umpires or lack of knowledge of the rules. It went to TV ref before "advantage over" was called. If the tv is inconclusive the advantage is meant to be...
