Hey Andy Here,
Just wondering what a good first project would be something not to hard.
Cheers Andy.

Spinning tops and mini baseball bats are quick and good skill builders. Once you have the basics down, small bowls and good fun. So are pens but they require specific bits (mandrel, chuck etc )

Rolling pins ........... Planeing, coves and beads.

Remember that green wood is abundant,easy to cut and mostly free. Perfect for practice. Enjoy :2tsup: Phil.

Rolling pin for your mum (click here (http://www.woodturningonline.com/Turning/Turning_projects.php?catid=74)). Maybe some mallets (click here (http://www.woodturningonline.com/Turning/Turning_projects.php?catid=51)). Or a Yoyo even (click here (http://www.woodturningonline.com/Turning/Turning_projects.php?catid=57))?

this is the foot roller turned between centres I used 50 mm O rings for clearance and grip when in use.
