Thread: Going potty

[I have just rebuilt a couple of pot cupboards (bedside cabinets with a space for an unmentionable object for those that don't know how the French live)

]

Havent seen one of those in years

They use Pear in mouth-organs because it can stand up to the moisture,so....

eh... maybe not!

Perhaps..... I could try the melamine lacquer I use on goblets. You never know.

We are two of those strange people who don't like central heating so when the woodburners die down it gets a bit chilly at night. Maybe its not such a bad idea.

Thought I might as well show how the potty turned out. Its about 200mm high and 225mm across the top.

I must stop showing things to my wife. They are supposed to be funding several unfortunate habits not to mention the mortgage. "Ooooo, that will make a lovely plant pot holder" she said

I had several 'discussions' on another forum about leaving the mounting socket on my turnings. In the first place, I live in France and do quite a bit of furniture renovation. French furniture looks terrific until you look underneath the hood - when in France....

...plus, I had this all finished, took a pic and didn't like the shape at the bottom. So I remounted it and changed it. That's my argument and I'm sticking to it

Beautiful work.

Are you going to install a handle?

Thanks Christos.

There is not quite enough room in the cupboard sadly so it looks like its going to be a plant holder

Thank you.

Just think Gus. I knew you before you had a pot to put flowerpots in

Looks good mate and I really like the decoration on its likkle bottom.

I'm with you about leaving the socket on the bottom. There's nowt wrong with the way the French finish the backs of things as long as you don't look roung there

When you get to having a look around Carcassonne don't forget to load up with some/loads of the yew you have will you After all, now yer retarded you've got loads-a-time on yer 'ands in't yer..

Retarded is probably about right. Most of my grey cell seems to be asleep most of the time these days.

Must dash back to the kitchen, I'm cooking the British national dish for some friends this lunchtime. Lamb curry and all the trimmings yummy

I have to guess that you 2 know each other and your both fleeing Poms?

We do know eachother from another woodworking forum, but I would never admit that in public

Never seen him before in me life guvnor. I'll deny it even if you find some film proving otherwise.(Oh how topical we are us Brits)

By the way, I'm the sensible, good looking one, couldn't comment on him BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HIM.

and yes, I had a terrific lunch thank you and it was washed down with a considerable portion of France's grape extract. I will probably not remember this post tomorrow

Nobody even asked you about yer lunch already even, but RED with a curry! Phill-o-styne
