I dont understand. Where was the priest ? and why does a fisherman's priest differ from a shepherds, or a car workers ?
And what did the truncheon have to do with it ?
 
That is really quite special!
I wonder if it will get entered in next months turning competition.
 
Lol and I'm worried my lathe has a light knock... could be worse....
by the tattoos on his hands... I dont think that'll be used on fish!!!
 
Watch part 2 as well. He put it on eBay. Starting price, 99p. Lead-filled tip apparently. He's called John Rambo. It is a foot long. And two centimetres.
 
I think you worry perhaps too much ... I made the lower two replacement finials you see on this clock:

One day I hope I'm good enough to do an instructional video on YouTube!!

Thinking about it, I did absailing once as a kid. If I remember correctly you tie a rope around a rock and your waist then launch yourself off a cliff-face. Think I'll make an instructional YouTube of exactly how it should be done, having done it once 20 years ago I'm clearly qualified!!

:wink: :lol:
