Post a photo of the last thing you made

Small bowl and bud vase for the last turning of 2022. It's been a steep learning curve and YouTube has taken a battering (even the wife knows who Richard Raffen and Glen Teagle are now ) but as they say the best way to learn is to have a go.
Happy new year to all

My first woodturning book was by Richard Raffan. No home internet then (the early eighties).

Stenik, I like the way that you left some of the bark on the bud vase. I often do it with some stuff I turn as well. 1st look I thought it was a mallet! Opps! Happy spinning a happy New year! 🖒🖒🖒

Chicken pie (and other life essentials) I, no we, made yesterday. Ready for lunch with our local mates in an hour's
time.
Best wishes everyone for a better year in 2023.

Some beautiful work there I love keeping a piece of bark or inclusion if I'm able to. The beading on the bud vase is very clean and crisp. What finishes did you use?

Thank you stig . The beads where done using the technique that I saw Mr Raffen demonstrating on his YouTube channel. Didn't realise how effective they could be and look!. 2 coats of friction polish was all I used on the vase.

Made a scratch post for the boss. First time she's not has a string one, so remains to be seen if she approves.

Finished the workshop insulating and timber racking installation. Tested the high racks by hanging on one of them, took my 110kgs without flinching, with 7 of them I figured that’s 770kgs of wood. There is no where near that on them but still bloody nervous putting some of the big boards up.

So happy to have a functioning workshop back. Need to get back to my workbench project now.

I like your floor @Fitzroy. Is that leftover scraps of wood? (The rest of the workshop too)

It was a load of flooring samples I found on gumtree, turned out a flooring shop was closing down. I got about 30m2 of flooring for £60. A bargain until it took me god knows how many hours to fit. All different thicknesses and T&G offsets. I had to re thickness and re cut the T&G on most of it. Took soooo long, but I love it.

Finally got to spend a little time out at the lathe today, rounded off the spalted Sycamore that I mounted 2 weeks ago, it's extremely punky so soaked it in CA but it didn't soak into the wood very much so huge pieces tore out, I may have to sand it to shape then harden it and do the similar on the following, there was a low spot that would have made the bowl too shallow so I filled it with a mixture of polyurethane resin and car body filler, it's what I have to hand as I use it for my costume armour, to add a little sparkle I mixed in some glitter.

Once that was done I mounted a piece of 4x4 fence post and turned a twig pot, for some reason my bowl gouge went blunt within a few turns, I think the knots in the wood were too hard, at one point the tip of the gouge actually turned black, still I kept on and got it shaped, sanded to 320g then decided to try out my new texturing tool from secret Santa and I'm fairly happy with the result, need more practice with it, I also found a set of burs I bought for the Drexel that fit the texturing tool then I finished with a coat of linseed oil.

Nothing too special, just a rack to hold all my files, got sick of them in a drawer.

Made from a recycled pine kitchen cupboard door that I was given years ago.
