More roughing out

[Dalboy]

Well have spent this afternoon roughing out either outside with the chainsaw preparing the logs to roughing out 2 of the blanks still 2 more to do in this batch. It is surprising hoe much mess 2 blanks can produce. What you see in the picture filled 4 carrier bags of shavings all beech.
On the bench on the right is another bowl blank and also another piece for hollow forms should get 2 largish form or 3 smaller ones out of that piece

I find it amazing how much shavings you get also, good fun producing them though

Today there was twice as much and I did clear that lot up before starting. And I still have more to rough turn.

There has to be a really good market for wood shavings somewhere

I think Dalboy has more wood than most timber merchants

:twisted: Vic :twisted:

At the Kent wood turning show (Detling) at the start of March there was company there that had a machine that makes fire logs out of sawdust and shavings (or paper, anything that is small, compressable and flammable).

It was a great device, it heated and pressed the material that you pour into a hopper and basically spewed out little pellets at the other end which behave like logs on a fire.

Only trouble it cost a fortune!

I know I had a look just to be nosey and they tried to sell me one. I had other things I wanted to buy
