Hi TTIT

Overall - pretty mindblowing, but it just doesn't grab me

I love the S base and the way the clock is held and displayed, but the circular light globes just don't do anything for me. I appreciate that they tie in with the circular clock. Well, I guess it's not one of my favourite pieces of your work.

For me, I would have liked to have seen a repeat of the S at the bottom and one of those malleable light strips in the S, but that would have defeated the purpose of the whole structure as a Light as well as forcing my taste and design into your style, which just doesn't go

I can, however, completely appreciate the ideas, the effort, the design, the time, the care and attention to detail that you gave this piece. If I didn't know you are a Turner, I would be scratching my head as to how it was made.

As always, I'm wondering how on earth you come up with your ideas, they are simply amazing.

Cheers
Wendy

Very nice Vern.
Innovative and original as usual, worthy of first prize. The WIP deserves a prize also, shows just how much thought and effort has gone into this project.
Wotchagunna blow the prize money on?

My only critique would be a lack of WIP of this project for we apprentices, Vern. Most original and unique! I'd like to see how you turned that base section - if indeed that's how it was shaped. Fascinating combination of shapes and profiles, and great finish on this difficult species.

Edit: Woops! Missed the link to your website and the WIP, Vern. Critique withdrawn.

Congratulations Vern. A win well deserved. If ever we sell here, you will be most welcome in Gympie for a visit and a few lessons.
Cheers,
Shirley

TT...your design ideas and execution are way beyond the stuff I've ever done. Kudos, mate

**bellyup** · 8th June 2009, 11:55 AM

Fantastic work Vern. I always enjoy your creations.

Appreciate your honesty Wendy - I guess you can't please everyone all the time eh

.
So what are these malleable light strips like??? I just tried to Gooogle it and the second result was your thread - hows that???
I do have a process of sorts for coming up with designs but I doubt I could document it - they might institutionalize me

A little insanity helps.

**RufflyRustic** · 9th June 2009, 08:38 PM

Whew!

Thanks TTIT!

I have no idea what it is called, or if there is such a thing, but surely there exists a strip of lights that can be curved into your so desired shape?

I reckon my process would get me institutionalised too

cheers
Wendy

Beautiful as usual, Vern.

Strings of lights in flexible transparent tubing might be found at gardening & landscaping shops. I'm not sure how, or if, they can be shortened.

Cheers,
Joe
