Not very elegant but I managed to get this one off the machine in one piece at last.

Well besides the wood from the valleys form the other day which are awaiting practice/confidence, I acquired a couple of 4ft lengths of old Yew from a neighbor in the village this morning. (wished I'd taken the wheelbarrow by the time I'd climbed back up to my house) Need to get sawing and see if I can salvage something out of them in the next day or two.oldsoke":352k644e said:Wots next?

I guess I will try and mount it in compression if in doubt.oldsoke":1ubz8a0q said:Chas

I am still nervous enough to expect one any minute and keep looking at Keith Rowley's examples to make sure I am attempting to do it right.oldsoke":1ubz8a0q said:digs (but you should be past them by now )

Thanks Gary Although way down of the skills slope I am getting a lot of pleasure out of it.Taffy Turner":3ngwjlz6 said:Very nice indeed Chas. =D>
Took the advice of Terry (of Chestnut fame) and am just sticking with cellulose sanding sealer and Woodwax22(clear) for now.Taffy Turner":3ngwjlz6 said:Nicely finished too - what did you use?
It might be at the top but the list gets long very quicklyP.S. A Bandsaw is rapidly forming an image at the top of the wants list.
