    after two days doing some shed time I am annoyed to damn cold for starters, this progresses to muscles that won't or don't warm up and refuse to work. So I try a bit harder only to end up cramped hunched over and freezing. Its a nice sunny day but the wind chill is .

    Pat your shed would warm due to the skylight allowing the sun to heat it the internal walls insulation and floor a big PLUS. By this afternoon I expect at least 3 or 4 BS blades made.

    I got inspired today and had a good cleanup in the shed and made some inroads on the lack of storage, but the best bit is I actually finished something on the lathe . It's only small, but it's finished, a tea candle holder made from some Sourhern Red Oak Steck (Steve) gave me.

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    I didn't actually do any turning at 's, but yes, seeing everyone getting stuck into it certainly made me pull my finger out.

    Well I wandered out to the new shed after work today, I decided it needed a tidy up . . . put away some of the mess then saw the little bowl I had been mucking around with and thought, I'll just turn the spigot off.

    Huon Pine 250x68, apologies for the pic quality.

    Geez my shed smells good

    I'm sure I saw a bunch of those bowls a KMart

    I was going to say that all shed time is good time - especially compared to office time
    My second idea was to do a mass turnup at your shed and badger you into, at least, leaning against the lathe and telling yarns

    Good job on the t-lite holder John

    The wood looks a lot like our maple here in the states.
    Cheers,

    Default slogans

    Saw a t-shirt at the gym the other day
    "a bad day on the golf course is better than a good day at the office"

    It made me start thinking of shed slogans

    any time in the shed is better than a good day at the office
    or
    a day at the lathe is more fun then ... did someone say good day at the office
    or
    time at the lathe is better then sex (not sure I agree with this one)
