I only just got my jarrah out of the boot, and you have already made something:oo:

I have got a fully wired shed as of this afternoon :D- I think a coaster or two could get made in the next few nights!

I also have to develop the film from yesterday - will post photos when I can.

Regards

hmmm
every time I've tried a wip, I've buggered up the final product :doh::o
spose I could take a piccy of it, how it is on the lathe at the moment. Or is that tempting fate?

It's the bit you commented on "could make a bowl out of that"!

...if it isn't you'll know it, but the up side is that you can always make another!:U

hughie I agree
when I picked the piece of timber and cut it, I thought plenty long enough.
after turning and putting it together I had second thoughts. too bad - can always redo as Ed commented
