Hi Peeps,
thanks for the comments

Makes me a little embarrassed to be honest. I expected less praise than you all gave and I'm chuffed to pieces!!!! :lol:
Honest Tony, everything I've ever turned is sitting there in the photo's, thanks mate
Hi dedee,
Yep, they are sopposed to be baby rattles and were made for my "asignment" from the turning club I joined last week. First project was just an excercise in skills (turn between centres to a given design and closest to the drawing wins). This project was to turn a captive ring "ramelaar" or rattle. Lets hope they think its as good as you guys!
Once again, thanks for the comments, I'm off back to work but I'll keep you updated as to my progress with the "Killer Gouges" :lol:
UK Tony,
SWMBO loves it all so far. "Can you mke me this, can you make me that". Soon I'll be knee deep in bowls (makes a change from chippings I guess). At least I can start giving them away when they get too much. Who knows, in another few years perhaps I can sell them on Queens day (public holiday in NL where you are allowed to set up stalls at the side of the road and flog all sorts of old junk whilst getting very drunk in the name of the Queen).
