Jefferson? Can you take a pic of the dint?

Alright, alright, alright!!! Pics tomorrow......

Now I gotta get someone to get up on the roof... Yep, dent is there. You can see it from the ground.

Ken's demo 3 legged bowl is here too, so will take some pics tomorrow for that as well.

Plus the new set-up in the shed.

3 completed turning projects out of the shed today..... More pics.....

Ern: SELL THE DAMN BIKE. Please.

Back in the land of the living after a bad week or so. Thanks all for the help.

Well done. I made some terrible dove tails tonight. And cleaned out a really stinky head stock. And fixed a wobbly chuck. And unstuck a screw.

...and even more.

THE Blackwood bowl

After watching others turn for a week or so Jim was finnaly overcome by an urge to turn. A lmystery log had been bought in. He decided to leave the outside its natural gnarly self, and turned the base round and dished the top a bit. Don't ask me what it is. Its "art"! (I haven't got a pic of this finished either. Jefferson? )

One of jefferson's relatives dropped by with a little job. "I was told could do this" he says. A littel finial off a cupboard that had lost its mate. So here is the new set.

An outside shower was rigged u for Ken cos "they" knew he'd have a hard time showering in the small one. We could have just hosed him down outside. It was hot enough.

I had given a couple of Tagua nuts to Ken to see what could be done with them. Here are some WIP pics. I haven't got the whole thing cos I was doing something else and then I turned round and he'd Finished.

The flattened base of the nut has hot glued too a waste piece of wood, then roughing begins.

Hollowing happened at some point. Apparently the internal voids were "interesting " to deal with, and forced a few design decisions. Ken usually places a white piece of paper under what he is turning so he can see the shape, but he swapped it for a black background. It seemed to "scrape" better than "cut". And did not seem to need terribly fine sanding. I can't remember now what grit he said he used but it wasn't that fine. 240# springs to mind. The lid was finished after I left. Reversed in a chrush chuck and hollowed a little . (Crush seems such a cruel thing to do to something so small. ) The natural flat side of the nut were left on. I suggested that Ken's wife Helen could maybe do a bit of carving or something there. I wonder what Ken will do with the other nut.

And finally, Proof that I was there.
Attachment 126952

I made three legs that may or may not end up on a cricket. (They are only in pine. ) And a Finial that I though was really small until I put it next to Ken's. Mine was Gidgee (Which apparently isn't a good wood for finials. ) His is in Osage orange.

And here is what it looked like Outside the shed.

That was the one Calm tried to put through the roof. I think it was a bit too punky.

Nice work on the finial(s) ...see, practicing does help And watching a master. (Thanks Ken.)

I have witnesses.
But you will never know for sure.

Were you there? Was I there? Was there? Ken? Jeff? Jim? Ern?

Could be a rip in the Time Space Continuum and collective memory delusion . . . or it could have happened and there are many, whom wish they had taken the opportunity

Ed, you might have to get a restricted leave pass for the next one. Straight to Kiewa, Watch, Learn, Turn - Straight home

Thanks Harry. Miss spelling is my specialty. I should probably put it in my signature or something.

Was used for wagon wheel hubs? Must be pretty tough then.

Welcome to the forum.
