    I only just got my jarrah out of the boot, and you have already made something

    I have got a fully wired shed as of this afternoon - I think a coaster or two could get made in the next few nights!

    I also have to develop the film from yesterday - will post photos when I can.

    Regards

    Dont forget the photo's of your roadside pick up Brendon, were you able to remove the sticky mess from the back seat she left behind.

    The coaster are cheating

    hmmm
    every time I've tried a wip, I've buggered up the final product
    spose I could take a piccy of it, how it is on the lathe at the moment. Or is that tempting fate?

    It's the bit you commented on "could make a bowl out of that"!

    ...if it isn't you'll know it, but the up side is that you can always make another!

    hughie I agree
    when I picked the piece of timber and cut it, I thought plenty long enough.
    after turning and putting it together I had second thoughts. too bad - can always redo as Ed commented
