I am hoping to get a lathe later this year, but a friend’s need to rebuild his shed meant looking after his lathe for the last three weeks...
just been playing, practising, learning...
a few things I have made...

some small figures for games:

loving this but/ still lots to learn!
 
Damn you man!!!! I FINALLY got my old Avon 17-37 assembled this weekend, and expected great things - so when I managed to turn something similar, (But nowhere near as good as) your finial I was delighted - but now I can see I'm not so clever after all....
I must sharpen my chisels an dtry again....

Great first jobs BTW.
 
still huge amounts to learn and improve... my technique isnt very good, but gradually improving!
 
Don't be so hard on yourself, that's some good work already.
 
Nice work, my friend... Any thoughts on what lathe you'll be going for later in the year?
 
thank you for the kind comments...
@workshopted - hopefully a Record Power Coronet Herald - though when this one goes back I have the loan of an older RP - not as good, but will still help me learn...

@Orraloon - thank you, looks an interesting website
 
Nice work, especially like yew bowl.
I have a record power coronet herald, and I do rate it, it’s a good all rounder imho, and the support / advise from record power is excellent.
