Yes a rare thing indeed, wish I lived a bit closer to Philly though, I'm sure he needs help keeping all that stuff aired.

A pity, Chas (although you are always welcome to come up for the weekend). I could do with someone to prod me into practising my turning :wink:
Also all that timber is just sitting around...... :lol:
Love the square edged platter!
Cheers

Thanks for the offer Philly, have a cousin in Romsey who is owed visits as well so will try and fit something into calendar some time.

Re. Platter; for some reason the urge to slow the workpiece down with the hand was definitely lacking during that piece.

Thanks Neil,

I hope the latter prevails, I have only carried on posting my efforts in the hope that it will encourage others thinking of having a go to try.

By the various communications and comments received to date I think at least four people have found themselves a new pastime as a result, and obviously some others (29,000+ views) have found it worth a look.

This will probably be my last posting of pictures on this thread as at 32 pages long it is becoming somewhat unmanageable.

But please start another [-o< - always enjoy pictures of your work,as well as the variety of timbers used.

Chas, you could always claim your writing an encyclopedia of turnings
or maybe " a year in the life of an amateur turner" .. :lol:

 

[Fecn]

I agree with the others - Please start a new thread.

It's great to see your work progressing - Especailly since at the start of the thread you were new to turning.

Sorry for the delay forgot to put the LINK in to my obsessive turnings:
