    A fine effort, just think of the dig in as a reminder we are all capable of making the odd mistake.

    Are they for you or an order?

    Only one catch that couldnt be saved bloody well done.









    For me it has been a steep learning curve and trying to understand what I've done wrong aint so easy.

    try not to analyse where you went wrong! I finished my apprenticeship in 95 and worked in different industries and was offered a job back on the tools! so I got Tafe books out and started at page one beads and hollows! no projects just blocks of beads and hollows turn it back to a cylinder and beads and hollows! even my wife asked if I was going to " make something" then once my eye was back in the projects followed! so if I have a dig in I put it down to lack of concentration! having said that I still get nervous when doing one off jobs with customer supplied timber!
    pine is easy to replace but solid cedar etc I know will cost me if I stuff up!
