Hi CHJ, Your boxes are amazing, may I ask how you shape the curved sections that make up the lid? Do you use a router and template? I am really intrigued how you get the glue lines so tight. Nice work. Cheers David =D>

Spin the egg on a surface, touch the middle to stop the spin and let go quickly, if it then continues to turn - it is raw. If it stays still it is a boiled one. :wink:

Have you tried looking on You Tube? There is all sorts of woodturning videos on there, some good, some bad and some very ugly :lol: If you look up HaydenHD he doesn't teach you so much as you get a good birdseye view of his turning, which shows the techniques put into practise

I turned a small bowl from spalted Beech, it measures 5 1/4” diameter by 2 1/2” high. It was mounted on a screw chuck and the bottom shaped including a tenon. Then reversed and mounted in dovetail jaws of the chuck. The top half was shaped to hopefully match the bottom shape. The inside was...

I noted that I was ready on the scoreboard, I take it I should have also said here that I have a bowl ready! Sorry :oops:

The first vid is excellent, they say there is a fine line between madness and a genius. He certainly falls onto the genius side, if I had tried to do that they would call me mad!! I'm still laughing at the microwave oven, I can just imagine the looks I would get building my own one of those hehe.

Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge, very interesting. Cheers David

Thanks a lot, Will that normally last for the whole turning or would you re-apply when you have roughed out the basic shape?

Thanks a lot, I see why its called CA, I can't pronounce Cyanoacrylate

absolutely stunning bowl. Forgive my ignorance but what does CA stand for? Is it Cascamite? And may I also ask how you filled the blank? Is this as simple as pouring it over and letting it soak in? Sorry for so many questions, I am very new to turning. Cheers David

I'm getting this feeling I had when I was a kid.......Go and ask your Mum...........Go and ask your Dad............Go and................ :lol:

arrrrwww go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on (any farther Ted fans)

Hi, I have been looking with interest at your 2012 challenge. Can anybody enlighten me to what a suspended ball is, or looks like? I can't find anything on google. Cheers David.

I really like it. If your not happy with the pyramid at the top, does the piece actually need it? I put a thumb over that part of the picture and it looks really good. Cheers David

Thank you for your warm welcome. I have been pinching the fire wood and making the kindling, and now the wood pile is getting low. I think I will now have to start on the logs to stack up on fire wood!!! I quite agree about the getting poor, I live far to close to Didcot where there is a very...

I found your forum a couple of weeks ago and have been enjoying reading the posts. I can see it is a friendly place. I would like to introduce myself, I am David and am relatively new to turning, which in my case is the most frustrating (at times) but highly enjoyable way of making kindling. I...
