    Default Turning without power

    Had a brilliant day out at a Medieval Fayre wonderful entertainment good to see the old art of turning using a pole lathe and home forged tools. He was making a gobblet.

    Looks like a good day Ray. We went to that one a couple of years ago and had a fun day.
    We also went to Ironfest in Lithgow a few weeks ago and were amazed at the trouble and detail the re-enacters went to.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    I've tried using a pole lathe a couple of times. The strange thing is, it's not the leg doing the pumping that aches, it's the static one you're stood on!

    Ray, nice action shot, and a lot of interest, he himself is dressed in style.
    These are fun events.
