    Looking a bit roogher now as it is off the lathe and has been damped down a few times for the final finishing with the scraper. I've had my orders not to, but I would love to see how the black walnut comes up under french polishing.
    Cheers,
    Jim

    Having just split the top away from the face-plate I was pleasantly surprised how well the glue held. The beads I made it up from are at least thirty years old but have been kept in a dry airtight container. I don't have a glue pot and just use a glass jar inside a saucepan of water.
    Cheers,
    Jim

    It's very fitting really, the speed I work at must make it feel at home.

    With a slight change of plan for one of the tops, I glued up some Elm. Having left a little too much thickness to allow for woof during jointing, the round was too thick, so I gave it a good gouging to get it down to size. The edge oysters are now on, and I hope to get the top oyster veneer started tomorrow.

    The table top is looking really good, I love oyster veneer. Are we expecting any troubles with the edge veneer as/if the wood comes and goes with the weather?

    Cheers
    Michael

    Are you expecting a plane load of craftsmen to descend?

    Is a 'plane of craftsmen' the new collective? Who knows what the storms will bring!

    It is in Perth... I'm somewhat reliably informed.

    First set of spindles for the birdcage done (at my usual speed). Could have done with a minature set of turning tools and/or younger eyesight. Not clones but they'll have to do.
    Cheers,

    Nothing wrong with a little variation. If they matched perfectly people might think they were done with a copying attachment.

    Next year i want to make a hall stand which will require about 12 or so matching spindles about 50mm long and I have not done any woodturning Steep learing curve coming up
    I've just become an optimist . Iv'e made a 25 year plan -oopps I've had a few birthdays - better make that a 20 year plan
