    Wow, that's 23 minutes roughly for each one, that's a cracking pace.
    I would have found it hard to keep interested after the first dozen, well done.

    Looking mighty fine ... is that turning free hand or using copy lathe/attachement etc.

    The only aid I had was a pencil gauge, roughing gouge, 3/8 by 3/8 skew and a detail gouge. Nothing like production hand turning!

    Hi chuckie,
    Looking good mate, is the bead on the third
    One down towards the top larger than the rest.........

    only joking, but you did leave yourself wide open

    That is realy quick turning , would take me 17 days
    Well done they look great
    Cheers smiife

    Thanks smiife, I think there is one or three that have fatter beads to be honest! The photo seems to accentuate the top of the bundle.
