Creating these things allows me to escape and concentrate on only what I'm doing, the plan has always been for one of the bedrooms to be part guest room part craft room so I can work on projects in peace, hopefully it will happen 🙃

Thanks Mick 😁 Kinda OK at the minute, SWMBO and I had a short talk, don't want to overwhelm her, just waiting a few days to see if anything changes before I press the issue again. My best to your lovely wife, how are her willow wands doing? Mine are only just starting to show signs of life.

Thanks guys, seems like it's generally not the best idea, for whisky at least, I'll let my friend know its not a good idea.

We have white walls at school, I use a product called wet and forget a couple times a year to prevent algae growth and staining, works very well but is expensive.

The honey wax from what I can find is made from honey, sugar and lemon juice, commonly used for hair removal in beauty treatments, would be foodsafe but would not last long.

So a friend has asked if I'd be able to turn a set of whisky tumblers for another friend, both of them are also colleagues, preferably from oak, I've said I'll look into it before accepting so here I am, a few questions 1- end grain/side grain does it matter? 2- I've seen a couple of YouTube...

Thanks guys, I'm doing OK 🤪🤪 It's been nice to sit and create from paper, it's been a long time since I last made anything, have a few more floral pieces to do as easter gifts for the girls at work. I promised my headteacher I'd have him in tears by the end of term, if these done work ill...

Finally finished, a gift for my headteacher who is leaving at Easter, one of my other hobbies is papercraft, there are many birds and animals around school that I've made, whilst looking to see if there was anything new here https://creativepark.canon/en/index.html I came across a file for a...

Welcome to the asylum 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Here are the photos

I'll have a look tomorrow, it may be Parkside, it's all metal construction with a flexi drill attachment for drilling the pilot holes, as for ease of use, I couldn't comment as I've never used it, bought it for the sake of having it, now it just sits there gathering dust.

I may be selling mine if interested, I bought from a friend but never used it.

Neat idea, love the little animal pins on top 😀

OK guys be gentle, I haven't turned anything for nearly 6 weeks so this isn't perfect, needed a break from the papercraft flowers leaving gift for my headteacher and seem to be getting the mold and humidity in the makerspace under control (slowly) so mounted an Ash crotch that was cut over a...

That's really nice, what did you use to finish it?

That's gorgeous Morag, you could make a cord pull with the leftover bit.

Soooooooo I've got 4 silver birch coming down soon to make way for new classrooms, The tree surgeon has agreed to cut them however I want, my thinking is this, remove the tops and wodchip everything under 6inch thick, the crowns at the top of the stems can be left as a whole log and maybe...

Welcome to the asylum 🤪🤪🤪 have a look around, you'll need to contribute to conversations/discussions for a bit before you will able to use the for sale section

I've got a small stack of pieces, mostly about 2ft long ranging from 2 to 6 inches diameter, all sealed with wax, a couple of the bigger ones have checked where the wax seal has separated from the surface of the wood and most has discoloured, probably because its stacked horizontally.
