Well done to all, not sure how I got to 4th place I'm still gob smacked! I was hoping I would get to the end of the year with 12 points, which would of meant I had tried to turn 12 different projects which I probably wouldn't of thought of trying. Thank you to the orginisers and judges of...

It really looks like it should work, it so realistic.

The microscope is unbelievable =D> =D> Can it be used as one???

Hi, This is my cake stand entry. This was a prototype made out of some left over oak, sadly work commitments meant I ran out of time for making another, which I was planning to make out of different timber. It is 200mm high by 200mm diameter. Sanded from 120 to 600, Finish with food safe...

Nah, the coppers took pity on the guide dog running his butt off in front of the car. :lol:

Why is it the simplest of ideas are normally the best

Is it just me or are these trees being rude!!!!

Oh no, another project I now want to have a go at!!! Lovely piece =D>

What a horrible looking lathe, I've got to say that along with the mantra ....I don't want one, I don't want one, I don't want one...... I don't know who am I trying to kid. If I spent that type of money on a lathe I think the Mrs would be off.....Another good reason to buy one :lol: :lol:

She got a lot less catches than me using a skew chisel!!!! I must be doing something really wrong #-o

There are some doughnuts out there, here's one of a lad trying to stop a lathe from starting!!!! ummmhh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PzPfzLeDa0 How he didn't break his leg is beyond me!

Fantastic pen, I like it a lot.

Rather than using a lathe could you do it with hand tools. From square stock, make it into an octagon, then use a spoke shave to shape into a circle?

I would like to thank the organisers of this competition, its pushed me to turn things I wouldn't dream of doing. Also competing against some unbelievable turners has made me raise my game, and where I still have a long way to go, I feel my work is starting to improve, so thank you to all...

Boy oh boy what a challenge. I lost count of how many ideas would have probably fallen outside the rules. Here is my entry, spiky balls. Not too sure how I got to the final design, but it started by trying to suspend the main ball onto spikes. I tried to incorporate the ball theme into the...

I don't know if it is worth giving them a call. I wanted to buy something that was out of stock, yet when you click on the 'pick from store' button it showed they where in stock in various stores and I was passing High Wycombe and picked one up. I have just had a looked and High Wycombe and...

I am a member of another forum to do with electrics, they have a 'thanks' button and a 'like' button that you can toggle and it registers your vote which is displayed under the post in question. I don't know how easy/hard it is to add things like this to a forum, but maybe this could allow you...

My head allready hurts. :lol: Great Challenge though. =D>

Thanks for the insight. Cheers David

Thanks for the info. very informative. :lol: Does the sanding jig just keep the sandpaper at 90 Degrees? or is it in the shape of the curve your trying to create. Sorry for all the questions, I am just impressed but bewildered how you get the gaps between the curves so tight.
