Brilliant. I loved watching that. My Grandad went to Jail in 1926, in the General Strike... and thats from that very same year. Wonderful. Flat hat, little round glasses, 'grandad collar', waistcoat... just fabulous. Great to see that clip. You can't beat a bit of genuine history...

There IS only the one course of action .... Send that horrible VB up to Aberdeenshire for disposal in Europe's only VB Lathe Disposal Emporium ... leave it at mine, I'll sort the final details of that out for you, not a problem .... and fine fellow that I am, I'll do it FoC for you ...

Mrs S ... I love it ! What a splendid piece of wood, and what a great finished piece from it. Its fabbydabbydoo ! :D :D :D :D :D

Another fantastic piece, and so instantly recognisable as 'one from the master' :wink: :D :D :D :D Make planty of those DVD's ... because they are going to be in demand, no doubt about it ! :D :D :D :D :D :D Its brilliant Mark.

I like that Paul ! .... as said, its 'inverted' from perhaps what we normally see... but it works. I have to admit too.. I also like the finial (and the contrast it gives, colour-wise ) Its a crackin piece ! :D :D 8)

Well done Lads ... great example of his this place 'works'. :D 8) Good to hear things like this :wink: :D

I'd like to see that done 8) :D -- I saw the pictures from last year and wondered how it was achieved, so aye, I'd like to see that for sure ! :D

The first piece has an African look to it, to my mind... the second has an oriental vibe to it, I agree with Steve. 8) The bowl is my favourite of the two pieces, Its the colour I think.. or perhaps more specifically the contrast of the colours and the orientation of the radial markings...

http://www-saps.plantsci.cam.ac.uk/trees/index.htm Any good to you ? :)

Never noticed anything wrong with the speed of the site etc... oblivious to all that, totally :) This is maybe just a small point, some may not 'get' the relevance..I don't know... but ........... Next month, I'll have what I consider to be the absolute priviledge of going to meet 19...

That Quilted maple is outstanding stuff George ... beautiful ! Definately keen to see a platter from that too if there's any left !... love both the bowls to be honest, .... they're superb. 8) 8) 8) 8)

May be worth talking to your nearest local Heavy Goods haulier... most are looking for 'return loads' to save the wagon coming back with nothing on its back, and are prepared to deviate a few miles to pick something up. A truck running empty isn't making any money at all... a lot of guys...

As mentioned elsewhere JT .. brilliant news. Welcome to the world. Dylan. Start him on the pens first Johnny.... :wink: Of course, you'll be doing a commemorative goblet ... to give him when he's 18 ... " Look what I made you when you were born, son. " ( pyro'd even better ! ) Not that I'm...

This is maybe useful, Jim .... https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/view ... hp?t=29582 :D

Yep.. white silicon !... Tell you how it came about... I just got new windows in the house, with Mahogany hardwood facings. When the guys were finished installing, I was talking to the joiner and discussing putting brown putty into the nail holes after they'd been punched.... NO NO ...

Bizarre as it may sound ... white silicon , and sanding with a coarse grade (80 grit etc ) will do the same job too. ( lathe stopped ) The white disappears and you 'can't see the join' !... I am told it must be white, and TBH I've not tried with clear etc. Nice bowls... the Padauk has a...

Its looking like a "Gordon Banks" Doug ... Great Save ! :D :P I'm not the most experienced by a long long way, but I've found most spalted beech has a wee bit punky-ness somewhere... I took a tip of Chas's and put sanding sealer on it when I find it now, and it does help a bit. ( or...
