    Default stuff i've made these school holidays

    I've been holidays for two weeks now, having just finished year <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com</st1:metricconverter>11. In between making chicken at KFC I’ve been making these things. Pic one are some pens I made the middle one is blackheart sassafras, and the other two are segmented Pine and Jarrah. Pic two is a letter box which was meant to be my parents Christmas present last year, and not that you can see but it does have a turned handle. It's about 320mm wide. Pic 3 is a fairly simple river red gum bowl which is 160mm dia. Pic 4 is the clock I made out of a red gum slab, and I did use the lathe to cut recess for the mechanism, so it is sort of in the right section. It is 550mm x 300mm. Pic 5 is a notice board I made, its not tunning but here it is anyway. Pic <st1:metricconverter ProductID="6 in">6 in</st1:metricconverter> the mega novelty pen I made out of segmented Blackwood which is 800mm long. The final pic is a wooden beer bottle I turned out of red gum I think.

    You've conquered skills some people many years your senior can't match - and your woodwork ain't half bad either! Keep up the great work.
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    That beer bottle is brilliant!

    You could sell then if you didn't get nailed by the brewery for using their labels

    Haven't seen you here for a while TS, but what a comeback.

    All the work is of good quality and you should be proud of it.

    What finish did you put on the letter box?

    Nice work!
    Good to have something to show for your effort. My boys waste all their time playing video games.
