One step at a time you'll get there in the end

Lovely natural feel

Gorgeous colourful grain pattern

(Saving money.) Last weekend I dug out the four old tool blanks that came with my lathe and also repurposed a used rebate saw blade as a cutter for small items. I had some left over pine frame from when i made the missus a garden table which impressed me with its hardiness compaired to other...
