From a thread I started about 11 years ago, here is the end result.
The photos from the original thread are gone but I had a copy.

The whole process now is in an album on my facebook page if you are interested. Each photo has a caption.

I have a new lathe room, I enclosed 2 bays on the back veranda of the shed so I don't cover everything else in the shed in chips & dust. :2tsup:

The Avatar is uploaded here, blame the forum, it is as slow as a wet week at present. :rolleyes:

Mate, I have about 50 started roughed out wet & left to dry, I also have about another 100 dry blanks just sitting there.

I have to live to about 306 to use all the timber I have stashed. :D

Yeah, there are a few people who aren't on FB, the item was finished for a fundraiser that was mostly promoted on FB so that is where I put the album.
I have the story book in Word & PDF form but, the Word Doc is 13Mb & the PDF is 7Mb.
I can just upload the whole folder of photos to FB & it downsizes them, I don't have to dick about.

The platter sold today in a silent auction for $90, not bad I reckon.
The proceeds go to The Charlie Teo Foundation (http://www.charlieteofoundation.org.au) for Brain Cancer Research.

OK, for those who don't do FB, here is the story book in PDF form in Dropbox, it is a 7Mb file.
If you try to download it in a year or 2, it may not work, I might need the extra room in Dropbox.

Thanks for putting it up in this form for those of us who don't use FB. I learned a few things from the step by step process.
