    Default Ta daaaah!

    Went off to my turning group today. And this is what I did. I think I can call it my first turned thing as last week I only turned a practice doodad. It wasn't designed or anything. Just faced with a bit or wood to make something out of. No photo of the inside 'cause that is really bad. 'tis only made of pine. 9.5 cm tall. 4 cm wide. Finished in U-beaut's Shellawax stuff. Can even make pine look presentable.

    Next week I'm going to do some actual design drawings so I have a vague idea of what I want. It seems so long till Monday.

    Funny looking teapot! Nah, nice job - reckon you're ready to buy your first lathe

    Oh, and the drawings are much easier to get right after you finish building the piece

    very very nice
    not sure I'd like to turn something to a detailed plan. I tend to let the wood dictate, ie if I have an almighty digin I hope I have enough timber left to turn it out, and still be left with something pretty
    If you put a gigantic musk/incense candle in the goblet I reckon they'd sell for truckloads at the markets

    I'm not talking DETAILED plan. Just an idea of kinda what I want. Otherwise I'll just make what I saw someone else make. Took me ages to make pottery that was MINE not impersonating someone else. Will be the same with wood I guess. Will now look at tons of books for ideas, and something will shake out.

    Oh! Thanks Blocklayer. I couldn't work out how to make photo shopp do that. I guess I'll read the instuctions one day.

    Great work for starters (much better than my first efforts). Now all you have to do is figure out how to do square hollowing and you could start a whole new style of goblet making (or tea cups maybe?).

    Very presentable start regardless of how the inside came up .
    Had a look at you website and wondered how timber compares to the other mediums you've worked with??? Do you think you've found your niche or will it be just another ingredient of your art??? (or is it too early to tell??)

    I have wanted to try wood turning for ages. Currently just want to do stuff as adjunct to my pottery. I really like the look of wood and ceramic together. Hubby looking at me like I'm nuts. Can't I just do one thing? No! Just following my nose. Looking forward to next turning group session next Monday.:happydance: Fancy looking forward to Mondays.

    Hi Tea Lady,
    Well done for joining the wood turning class. Do you mind telling me where you are doing the wood turning as I live in Nunawading which is not that far from where you live and I am always interested in wood turning classes. Also could you tell me how I can put a photo up beside any thing I write (I think it is called an avatar) or for that matter could anyone else tell me.
    cheers Anne

    G'day.

    Go to your User Control Panel, here... https://www.woodworkforums.com/usercp.php

    Look down the left hand side to find Edit Avitar...

    You should be able to work it out from there.
    Cliff.
    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.
