Awweee! Thank you Wheelinround much appreciated but it let me upload this time

done

Looks Good , My shed is in a mess st the moment as I am still getting the new benches sorted out.

I will post some PIC's in the SHED Sect when I'm done , I haven't been able to turn for 2 weeks.

Suffering withdrawal symptoms, hope to have the benches finished, in a week or so.
and I'm looking at building a pyrography machine soon as well.

You can see the improvement in your turning , from the PINE Pieces (chunky but good), to the large bowl and other pieces, the finishing is very nice with no tool & sanding marks .
defiantly a talent there that you must exploit. I liked the small cup with the pyrography on the outside.

One day it will come, probably very soon from the quality of your turnings. You are doing very nice work.

This one especially: Just a few of the things I made so far - WooDoo Magic

Turning is like learning to drive a manual shift car or riding a bicycle. You struggle and struggle, then one day it just happens, without thinking about what you are doing.

In my case it was somewhere between 20 and 30 finished bowls. I'm between 40 & 50 finished now, with about 20 more roughed out in various stages of drying.

After that will come taking less time on a turning, with the same high quality.

I like your mushrooms, I'll have to try some.

No news on the lathe I see..............and I forgot to ask when at H&F's this morning was even in the workshop didn't see it sitting there.

Gees I didn't know you were going to H&F would have got you to pick up something for me

CHASE THEM UP Mrs B, otherwise they will take their time,.

You need your Lathe with-drawl is setting-in, and it can be bad .

Seriously , ring them and see what is happening , and find out when they can return it, if the bearing seats were out or damaged in manufacture, then it may have to be sent out for re-machining, that could take a week , depending on the repairer.

The shed is nearly finished(my little shed ,in the SHED Thread) , new benches are in and I have a piece of heavy duty vinyl to go on the bench tops, so looking good there,.

I will start on making a Pyro hand piece today, and check out how much current is needed etc for the machine, .

Was there again today you should have rung and I could have they would have taken phone payment. What was it??

Ayshlan still no sign of your lathe either might have sent it back OS so there might be a 6 to 12 week wait.

Hi Guys! Well...I got it back and all seemed fine when the guy walked out, then had my birthday weekend..and you know how that can be right? so come Monday I went into my workshop decided I would turn a 15cm bowl not sure of what kind of wood it was, was one of the pieces in my stash so here I am turning came time to sand it, then I turn the lathe on to finish it and the lathe doesnt turn on, well I chucked a hissy fit ran inside called H&F, he says its the thingymajig lolll that thing on top of the motor to do with the electrical side of it, is it a trasformer? Im not sure but anyways I feel like this is falling to bits scratches my head, the guy came out fixed it again replaced that bit, then it started working again. Soooo yes that is the story of my life, I think it needs me to thrash it, just because I treat it gently now its being a spoilt brat. Ok keep fingers crossed for me I have a small bowl sitting on there now a deep one I hope I can get through it without something else going wrong. Why do I always type out long stories? Oh..and thank you for your support all and thank you for liking my work, those mushies are so much fun to make
Cheers
Ayshen
