It is just danish...

What a fantastic day! Thanks to everyone who went and was doing a stall! My partner and I enjoyed it very much!

And that's why I like working with wood. It's natural and something very satisfying about using it. Im not trying to take away from metal work by any means, but I seem to gel better with wood than...

I don't know the first thing about Poinciana or Jacaranda, I googled them and the leaf of both look fairly similar. This bowl was never going to be a show piece or anything like that, I just wanted...

Hi all,

Hi Steve,

Yeah thanks for the advice, Like I said, I went very slowly at it, but the last shaving I took off was just that little too much, I am not worried about it, but I do know for next time....

Exactly, no learning without mistakes, I have a new tradesman at work who has never made a mistake with electrical work, that he tells us anyway…..but as soon as something out of the blue comes at...

Well as the long weekend draws to a close, I have finished my last project for the time being, I ordered a few Bowl turning blanks, but I thought there has to be other things I can turn other than...

Well I did manage to get some shellawax EEE and also the Cream.

I was a little hesitant at first, but as they say, the result is in the pudding…..I mad a candle holder yesterday out of something,...

Ah ok, I have mis-understood, I thought the shellawax was the final coat, I was told that Briwax was intact a wax, so final coating, I would say it'd go over the shellawax then…..? I might have a...

Funny you say this, I went to Bunnings and found some Bee's polish with Carnuba in it, I thought it was wax, it wasn't =( Oh well, thanks for the tip on the Shellawax, I will give it a go!

Well,

After 12 years of not touching a lathe, I finally bought my own one from Hare and Forbes. It's only a cheapie to get me going, but I like it. It's perfect for me who will use it every two...

Hi Christos,

Thanks for that, I think I should get one, but I may just save my money for the moment and keep an eye on the classifieds. Sounds like they're a good thing!

Hi there Bob.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't mean to upset anyone on here or come across as wasting any ones time. I have been all over the internet looking at videos on safety and how to use a...
