Thanks to Rich Burrow for getting me started/hooked on turning.
Back in Jan this year he posted some work we had done in his shed, well following this I started a project of my own to build my own workshop
It started out with a 5m x 4m concrete base
Then constructed out of very heavy high density breeze block which nearly finished me off over the next new weekends.
Roof on I now had a Workshop
All I needed now was the Lathe. Rich was kindly going to help me here but whilst surfing ebay I saw something too good to miss ! A Graduate Lathe at a great price.
That weekend I waited nervously for he auction to end and I Won !!!!
Next week I pickup the Lathe and got it home on Friday night, Saturday it was installed in the workshop and I turn my first bowl on my own lathe in my own workshop
Here’s to many more to come !!!!!!
