After a late start on Friday for me, owing to the fact I couldn't leave the small child home alone till his dad turned up, I managed to get my old Golding Lathe assembled around 10 pm. Everyone else had started soon after lunch. :C:U Just to get going, I turned a couple of mallets for my sculpture friend. One before I decided I should prolly go to bed and do more on Saturday. So on Saturday I turned the other one.

Then couple of bowls in Blackwood and Sassafras for a friend of my Dad's. Every time I went to my parents place he'd ask me If I'd done them yet. So that should get him off my back.

Then I moved on to those thread chasers. I had managed to chase an inside and outside thread, but not make them fit together yet. So after wasting a bit more mulga, I did manage it. Happy dance all round. :happydance:

Then I farted about with a finial or 2. Used a bit of the Norfolk Island Hibiscus that TTit had sent me. Not sure it really goes with the maple box. Might stain the maple some bizarre colour.
232128
Also turned a lump of Red gum burl. decided it was going to be a little chunky box(Cos of the huge split ) with a long line finial on a sassafras lid. Half done cos then we had to all pack up. :C
The old Golding is now reassembled in the "shed" again. And I need a little lie down. :rolleyes::D.
Seems these weekends have been happening for 16 years. A great weekend. A friend asked me if I went to the beach. "Um! No. Saw the water as I went round the round about though." :U
