Ahhh, but that's normally called incest init? An ain't that allowed now-daze? :? :?

The bits I've watched just show how wonderful the modern art scene is. Mind you I'm not too sure it would remain that way if they legalised whatever it is the clowns on there are taking? Just a thought? My smell checquer has just underlined the word legalised. Is a 'z' in there the Yank...

I've turned a fair amount of yew and found it a lovely wood to work with. I can assure you that there's nnnnnnnothinggg rong wiv ne :shock: Seriously, it is a lovely wood to turn and like all woods, if it is very dry and causes dust then wear a dust mask. I have to admit, going back to the...

About 32 years back we had a yellow labrador and a 5 year old daughter. With both out for a walk we were passed by some bloke with a 'rat on a lead', some little dog or thing. The little dog got all agressive and snarling at our docile lab. Our lab just looked on as if it wasn't there. The 'rat'...

I have only one thing against smokers. If they were not to blow their waste product into my breathing space I wouldn't mind it at all. If I were to treat them to the waste product of my favorite passtime they would get right upset! They take in the smoke and eject it all over everyone. I down a...

And who said that the old ones were the best ones? :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: If yer not careful I'll tell you about the bloke wot walked into an Irish pub with his giraffe. They sat in the corner of the bar, it was a high ceilinged place, and started boozing. After about 7...

I expect he's staying in hearbreak hotel?

Did you here about the dyslexic pimp who bought a wharehouse?

Keeping on the theme of abrasives. The French are not too keen on the fact that the U.K. produces more varieties than they do :mrgreen: But that is a different story (hammer)

Just give up one pint a night and after a month you have enough fer yer CBN jobbie init :mrgreen: I'm glad that I don't need to do that :? Still, I'll be catching up on me lack of English beer next week when we will be in Malmesbury!! 8) 8) The French are very good at wine, but c r a p at...

I invested in a CBN wheel from Axy a few months ago and now have it on the left of my ancient second hand grinder and it is a worth while change. As Simon said (I could write a song about that? :? ) I too have swopped it with a white wheel with another on the right. When that wears I may well...

Ta folks. I was going to gently BASH it to shape, bur decided to try to press it instead. I quite like the silver hanky look to it. I have to admit that it looks better in real life though. I might try the spin/plenishing method? I have enough of the drain pipe left to have a few dozen tries...

As some of you know, I'm always up for a challenge and earlier I had posted some photos of what called inside out turning. Too long to explain here, better to do a e=search on it if you haven't heard of it before. Well, I have made a 4 section followed by a 3 section jobbie which turned out a...

For those who know the intricacies of the French spelling good luck to you. I have difficulty spelling in English so the fact that you know what it is is enough for me :P :P It is lovely wood :mrgreen: Ta folks. It isn't as difficult as it looks really :? but you do need to be carefull...

Ball in a cube. I saw this while looking through some turning web sites and was really interested in the idea. Iv'e got some nice spalted cherry so I though why not? I love a challenge after all? Well, I got there and I'm really pleased with the result!! IMG_1476 by John, on Flickr I...

I'm sure this can be done quite safely, and without being 40m or even 6 feet away from it. Electricity needs a few kV per mm to arc through air - you just need adequate insulation and to be sure you're not touching anything. Or tempted to touch anything, eg catch something if it falls. But...

What fascinates me more than anything is that they are all from the same tree.. I don't think that I will ever get fed up with this turning thing and I have said often that although you can see the form as you turn you never know what you have until you stop it! A lot of our French friends...

As we are moving back to the U.K. fairly soon I thought that I would like to be able to give some of our freinds and neighbours a small gift? One of those friends gave me some wild cherry a while back and as it's such a lovely wood I thought that would be the ideal wood. I was going to do 12 of...
