That is the main thing :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not yet just some more wood to clutter up the wood store. But may cut one or two pieces quite thick for a largish deep bowl will have to see tomorrow as I will be cutting into blanks and spindles tomorrow as well as sealing it for it's long hibernation :lol: :lol: :lol:

I was asked a silly question for a turner. A lady came up to me and asked if I would like some walnut. being a turner the answer took all of 1 second to answer this question. A little recycling picked this little lot up today now totally knackered. It is walnut, has been laying there for about...

As always Chas both pieces well turned. having said that not too sure about the shape of the first one but that is purely a personal view

You can use a Dremel type tool but they can be uncomfortable to use for long periods but they do a good job. There are others out there like the micro tools and dentist type tools that I have heard are very good but can not comment on those as I have not used them. I have an Axminster tool...

You seem to have pulled it off Simon well done. i am working on a footstool at the moments as well as a leaf design on a bowl which is going to be pierced going to try 2-3mm thickness. So i would say that thin is the way to go even if it feels a little fragile.

It only pushes it to the mid point of the corner post under the side is another piece of wood to hold it at the right height. Which would mean that the tenon could be up to 1" into the corner post which as you may appreciate would be too long for this application. The first option there are two...

I showed the first part of this in the turning section, thought I would post the complete work in progress here. Please bear with me as I do not normally make things like this. This stool will have a small storage box under the padded top The legs are turned and ready Then it was onto the...

They will not be this close when fitted so any variation will not be so noticable. I did make a cardboard story board with measurements on so had that handy for this little job. Like most things the more that you do the better you become, practice practice practice as they say. I will stick to...

Well I got the four done at last but not due to messing up but other things getting in the way. Not perfect match but close enough, I should imagine that with practice I could get things like this a little close as i am so use to doing one off's.

The stool leg I made had to have a small design change due to a split so know what you mean. I have been lucky as on Sunday I was out and someone offered me a 12ft long trunk of yew. The 20 minutes later someone offered me a complete walnut tree with a trunk diameter of about 2ft both of these...

A very nice looking set up with the three vases and stand =D>

Bandsaw is certainly the way to go. In conjunction with the use of a chainsaw I prepare all of my logs but remember PPE is advised whatever machine you use play safe.

Spent most of the time preparing the wood and getting it square as well as the panel wood all thicknessed just need to saw that to the correct width. The top and cushioned top will be down to my sister not sure about the finish yet but may need to try and match it to her other oak furniture.

I hope it does not rain something planned

Two very likeable vases Chas I think I like the one on the left better

Not all turning but today sized some wood in this case Oak and then cut to just over length and turned the first of four feet for approval of my sister. Hopefully get the other three done on Monday. Mainly done with the skew chisel
