    Default So where's Ken W's and 's boxes?

    The silence is deafening.

    As I and others have said earlier, we want above-standard from you pair, not the kind of stuff we little grasshoppers can turn!

    And we will judge you harshly. You get a maximum of 80 points per judge for form, level of difficulty, turning and finish. My starting point for anyone is 10. So they better be good.

    Bonus points are awarded if the turner shows improvement over the month.... So I'm wondering, Ken, what can you do in less than three weeks that's better than the Carriage?

    I've stuffed up Boxes 11-14, but will get onto my entry in soon....

    (I must change my call-sign to Grasshopper. You will pay for that one ).

    They both went to Saturn in SA.

    Maybe they are not allowed back across the border due to fruit fly shavings

    From what I hear, and Ken were giving so much free advice ("you're doing it wrong"), that the authorities escorted them both to the border. And told them never to return?

    Headline....
    Police today disarmed two grown men arguing on side of road just outside Border town. One was found to only be carrying what looked like a nail file, the other was carted off to the detention center for carrying a weapon of mass destruction.

    In less than three weeks I can't make much.
    I did however make a couple of simple boxes at Saturn. I will post a picture when I get some finish on them.
