    Default Good skew practice

    I did a 2 he demo the other night! And ran out of timber! I was turning snow men!
    so I had markets on Saturday and spent part of Friday making a small army of snowmen lucky for me as it was the only thing I sold!
    Set up for turning was easy just between centres, roughing gouge, parting tool and skew.. The couple without hats are due to a dig in!
    Thanks for looking

    I see you have been watching ABC2 for Kids as those little people are in one of their cartoons.

    They are cute.
    Look like Pontipines or Wottingers to me ('In the Night Garden')

    How can you tell I have grandchildren?

    I have done snowmen when I first started. I made some about four months ago just to get rid of wood. I found that I was making the head way too big.
