February's Competition Project Discussion

The scew is a wonderful toy. All you have to do is to teach it who's boss!

Practice, practice, practice and you will then be able to change to left handed. Then it becomes much easier to do all sorts of jobs easier. It bites at times, but if you just keep on it will come, 'onest mate!! I have lost count of the bits I destroyed getting it right, sometimes! It still bites at times! but it's worth it

I call it Unemployement!

 

[skeetoids]

I AM left-handed, and it doesn't help!

Trouble is I do use it with some success and thinking maybe I'm getting the hang of it then just when I'm doing one final cut the b*stard thing gets its revenge :evil:

Same goes for the beading chisel, or pointy thing as I call it.

 

[skeetoids]

Just use your other hand!

Hi HC,

I suggest that you grab any challenge that allows artistic expression by the cahonies and get stuck in.

May be your masterpiece mate?!?!

Good luck,

Lee.

Hi All,
Glad to say my candle stick is ready, I bought myself a new toy for Christmas and this give me the ideal opportunity to learn
how to use the tool, quite happy with the outcome as well.

Now all I got to do is take some photo’s and upload them probably harder than making the candle stick holder.

Bah humbug!!!

8) Sunshine stops play.

I planned on getting on with the candlestick today, however, the wife spies sunshine and insists it is too nice to stop in so off out I have to go

Done mine - isn't the skew fun! Made it a mission to use only the skew once I'd got the shaft round and I have to say I'm stunned by the finish it can give but also by the shear skill that others show when whipping through a piece where I'm taking off a small bit at a time.

Done.. Only used the Skew..

 

[Jonzjob]

I didn't!! 8) 8)

What's a skew.

Thought that was when it was all out of line

 

[Pvt_Ryan]

You see that's the skill, can you turn a piece so it skewed..
