And so you should be. Well done (he said sounding condescending but not meaning to )

It's one heck of a lot better than my first bowl(s) and promises good for the next lot. Keep it up. Your photos will show up soon so let's see 'em

hi Steve
I have a perform ccsl with an axminster k10 chuck
didn't want to spend too much money at first
but maybe thinking of a bigger lathe with variable speed
and a moveable headstock

Hi Jay and welcome. Nice first turning. Keep them coming.

Beats my first effort.

So how many hours of turning did that take?

Was the blank purchased from stock?

Welcome to the forum Jay, keep the pictures coming, it's great to see someone else getting enjoyment from spinning bits of wood.

Hi Devonwoody
took me about 2 hrs total
yes bought it from craft supplies .co.uk (cheap £3ish)
only made pens before but I
enjoyed making the bowl more
i think i'm hooked is there a cure
I hope not :twisted:

thanks everyone for the kind words and greetings

No cure that I am aware of - a wife might provide temporary relief from symptoms, but once you are an addict.........

Very nice effort, especially so as your first bowl. What tool did you use to do the hollowing?
