Well with many apologies to the excellent and brilliant turners about here, yes I got bored and did a few horrid things..
Ok it was late about 9 pm so I hope that excuses the rashness on my part..
Well first I decided I would have a quick test to see how some am rest for a chair would have looked if I had turned them as a tapered oval. So I grabbed a piece of junk wood and knocked one up. Actually as a concept for the particular chair it would have been a good idea. Just a few minor adjustments to the measurements and timber, ie not a piece of old pine tree branch.
I made it a bit longer than necessary as I wanted to end rounded.
Well after finishing the arm rest a black thought passed through my mind and yes HER got made..:rolleyes:
No SHWBO was not impressed with the modifications:D
Last night it was time to escape from the selection of programs/movies on the TV.
This lead to THING being created.. :oo:
Horrible piece of wood actually as it had a lot of internal splits and separations. Again old pine tree extract. I ended up with 2 oval turns at 90 degrees to each other, lots of flying splinters from the cracked timber and a totally useless piece of work. Well not totally useless as it did stop me from pointing out all the inconsistencies in the film the CO was watching.
I just hope this is no indication I am being addicted to turning.. :o
Also apologies for the standard of work, I have only been playing with turning for about 3 months.
