Can't you sleep with the excitement of it all or is this the normal time you get up?

Sleep :?:

what is this thing called sleep :roll:

I wish #-o #-o #-o

4 hours max for me ,

but tonight was 2 hours :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

[gus3049]

Oh well, 'spose it means you get lots done.

Seems a shame that most spend a third of their lives asleep - and most of them are sleepwalking the rest of the time!

edited: removed questions already answered by Allen's clarification post - should read the whole lot before posting!

If we wanted to use two different woods in the design - i.e. laminated or with a drip tray of a different wood is that acceptable (I don't know if "segmented" is limited to the stuff where you cut the wood into small angled blocks or if it takes in my examples)?

I'm assuming there's no need to include a metal candle holder or drip shield (as per the recent H&S discussions which appeared to indicate this wasn't necessary for sale etc)

Can you tell me if I'm wide of the mark on my assumptions?

Many thanks

Miles

Hi Blister,

Can you just clarify the 'segmented' bit!! I assume that to mean glued up layers or such rather than more than one piece ie. does it all have to be made from one piece of wood??

 

[Chris357]

Hi guys

How do I enter the competition?

Miles

two different woods is fine , like a base from one type and the column from another , all OK

You can include a metal candle holder if you wish , but not compulsory for the competition

Hi Blister,

Hi Gorden

Up to 3 pieces of wood for the candlestick is fine

but not 100 or 200 hundred , as segmented work maybe beyond most entrants ability more so our new turners , so to keep it fair for everyone , No segmented entry's

 

[Blister]

Hi guys

How do I enter the competition?

Allen

Usually.

But hey, this is SERIOUS stuff. Its me against the world here so I need to actually 'think' about what I might be able to do.

So, see, there is a first time for everything.
