Lolly bowl (for dieters)

**Allan at Wallan** · 18th August 2007, 10:35 PM

Thanks everyone for your positive comments and hints.

Sebastian: I believe the blackwood came from the Smythesdale
area in Victoria but given to me by a mate in Kilmore.
Wayne: I have nothing but praise for the U-beaut products.
Ern & John: I used a bowl scraper for cleaning up within the
bowl. My efforts were rewarded when I persisted
in sharpening it properly. Made a world of difference.
Nyodine (GV) This was only my second bowl, it was a nice
piece of wood and has been on show this
morning at our woodturning club with good comments.

Thanks to all.

Allan

Not bad at all, you will get it, just go at it at your own pace!

Looks a whole lot better than my first bowl, Allan. By the time I had finished, it looked more like a platter. I agree with GV (nyodine): Keep your earlier turnings, so you can see your progress.

Sorry Cliff, must correct you.

They were $2.50 hollowing tools ... (2 for $5.00)
and I was very tempted to try them. I was short of
time and wanted to take it to our club for "show and
tell" on the Saturday morning.

But I promise to try them soon.

Picky bugger, what are you like at spelling?

Hi Cliff,

I would hope that I have not made an error in any of my posts
as I am quite particular about spelling, grammar and punctuation.

I must admit I did cringe a bit when a recent thread referred to
my "Dieter's Lolly Bowel" and a "peace" of wood. However,
rather than make a vitriolic attack on the chap I responded
courteously to his question but made a point of spelling
"bowl" and "piece" in my reply accurately in the hope that he
would recognise his errors.

Since then I have been horrified at the level of niggling
by Forum members on the subject. Sniping at each other
does nothing to foster friendships and may even deter some
members from contributing to the forums.

I read all of the posts with genuine interest, and although
some writers may lack journalistic talent, they quite often
have valuable tips which we may all share.

Kind regards,

Allan

Spelling Nazis are a long standing joke on the forum.
