Thread: Baby Rattle

nothing beats the pleasure at both ends! pleasure whilst building the thing and then seeing the pleasure it gives to the end user, pride in oneself is a good thing when rightfully gained!

Hi Dave50

Well said. Life is good but even better when its a good life and there is only one thing better then a good life and thats giving a good life to someone else god dam it I love my little brats

Good job, Nai. A couple of questions/comments: you and other posters have made a ring hook that, by the looks of it, is square and therefore scrapes both sides. Does it work well? When I tried my hand at rings just after starting turning I made 2 mirror image hooks, beveled, but maybe one is enough. Re olive wood: it finishes well, but it is because it is dense and close grained, not because it is oily. Another advantage of harder wood than pine is that the sound would be better. And congratulations on your little brats at 26. You are bucking the trend.

Hi Frank&Earnest
