I'm a year more, but I'd say you were better than I am...


All are very nice there - I'm particularly taken with the Goblet...

Excellent work. I like the goblet. It seems to me you have got the hang of tool control and the basics. Why don't you push yourself with something a bit more adventurous? I hear there is a competition in the making....

Still experimenting as you have already seen with the tri cornered bowl and daffodil candle sticks. Would like to have a go at lattice work on the lathe in the near future
