Maybe Jeff owes you a browse and pick Willy - he won big time!

A great big thank you to Willy and all of the well wishers above. I have sold all of my gear to the chap you mentioned Willy - will be gone on the weekend.
My darling Wife says I am having...

Bag limits mean nothing to those of us who aim to catch only enough to eat on the day. Can't beat fresh seafood straight out of the ocean and onto the plate with only a brief stop on the bbq if...

Thanks Bedford. This is clearly a case of "read the instructions first" But isn't that what Kids and Wives are for?

Sorry Willy, you are probably now over communicated.

Damn technology! Willy, I have tried to PM you twice but my sent box does not say anything has gone. Please ring me 90611360 or email [email protected]

(My Son reckons I am the leading...

Thanks for your comments and encouragement Gentlemen.

I have a trifecta - one of the conditions I can manage but the second and third are sure stoppers for turning. I will surely miss the wood...

Haven't been active on the site (or the lathe) for some time due to health issues. Sadly these issues mean I can no longer continue turning:C and that we will be moving to a warmer climate.:U
...

Great first effort. Do you always set the bar high when you start out in a new field?

I have no problem with the site/sponsor ads - I use them to source supplies. It is a sad state of affairs when I have to use blockers for pirate ads and in the process may lose those approved by our...

Is it just my computer or is everyone getting big Google ads at the top of each forum, Google adsense ads in the body and other popups at the bottom that say "you might also like".

Cos I most...

End result certainly worth your effort. I trust the moron was advised in a clear, succinct manner that his behavior was unacceptable?:2tsup:

And very nice too Smife. Have you noticed that you are saying "jeez, what was that wood?" more often as the days rip by? I absolutely need to label w.i.p. but do I? Nup.

All very useful and sensible comments. BUT! Is not the over riding issue that of "He who dies with the most toys wins"?

See 'em, buy 'em!

YEP, FROM ME TOO!

When I see these lovely little boxes it makes me realise how much wood I waste.:doh:

Excellent! Great for those of us who think we can still do now what we did at 21.

Very pretty piece!:2tsup:

Okay Neil - to one and all and especially our benevolent dictator, a very merry and safe festive season. May you all be attacked by good health and, above all, happiness in the coming year!

Lovely! Interesting design too!:2tsup:

Yes... I have been trying to convince my dear Wife that I NEEEEED another shed to store the overflow. Her answer? "you won't live long enough to turn the wood you have now!"

And very nice too!

Yep, what Paul said! :2tsup::2tsup:

:2tsup::2tsup: Great job!

:2tsup: And isn't it lovely when the timber has feature you don't expect?

:2tsup::2tsup: Very clear and easily understood. Great tutorial!

Very nice! Lovely wood is it not?

I second that.

And I bet you said "Oh dash, I wish that hadn't happened!" or something like that. :U

Frustrating is it not and always happens right near the end.

I'm in

WOW! Now that is pretty!

Looking forward to seeing the end result!

I'm in.

Scored two large, dry wandoo burls recently - was thinking I should get into them soon - might have to start on something softer to warm up. Something soft like salmon gum or gimlet burls!

Saw a topic a while ago where some of you easterners recommended Mongrel boots. It took a lot of doing but I finally found a local store who got some in for me. Delighted to tell you that you are...

How big are they Jim? look like a finicky turn. Good job.

200 km east of Perth? You could have lightened your load by dropping some at my place - you could only have been 50 km or so short of here. And I may even have shouted you a beer too!

So I assume the other 5 blokes did the heavy work? Shoulder better?

Clear to me that your darling Wife likes the smell of Danish oil Willy. I am only allowed to bring my creations into the house if they are treated with my home made wax and scented oil mix (oil...

I have a Triton unit. Sadly, they no longer manufacture them. I contacted them to try to obtain spare filters - not available. Was told that there was not enough support for the product. Far and away...

:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup: Excellent as usual!

WOWIE!!! Lovely work Hughie.

Lovely! Lucky man to find a piece of olive that large.

Yep, what Artme said!

Me too. I got enough bees wax from my local honey man to last me 10 years. Use it (and the electric wok) when I make my polish too.

Lovely work Rod. Elegant shape.:2tsup:

Flash Hughie!:2tsup:

:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

Excellent Brendon! I do not feel the need for spigots at all the way I turn.

Excellent video Reed. I use the same method as you and, whilst I have had a number of "flying objects" both small and large - mostly green wood or when trying to use a tenon, have not felt that any...

if they don't want you feel free to drop over to sunny Bruce Rock. I would benefit from dipping into your well of wisdom and we sure could use the rain!

Thanks for the advice all - Mobyturns in particular for the comprehensive analysis. I think in my case the big question is "What can I do to avoid this?". Answer: Go back to what has always worked...
