__________The results of "Grandad can I have a go"
Grandads only input was to prepare the blank and show him how to hold the tools after a lecture about:
1. keeping the tools on the rest, and what happens if you don't.
2. what the bevel does, and what happens if you don't use it.
3. looking after your hands when sanding/polishing.

_________ Spalted Beech 90mm dia.
Tools used:
2 bowl gouges 45deg. & 75 deg. bevels.
1/2" skew to mark centre for spigot.
Spigot marking gauge.
1/2" parting tool for initial spigot shaping.
Grip-a-Disk and hand sanding.
Nyweb to blend sealer build-up ridges.
Finished with woodwax22.
Too much male bonding going on whilst turning, no time to take pictures I'm afraid.
