That lathe looks very much like another one I know.

At least it's not rings as the engine warms up, as the result of that blow-by is increase fuel and thus engine rpm.....
can be quite scary while driving down the highway at 90-100kph to suddenly increase speed as you let the foot off the pedal.....

did the Nowra leg of his journey today, hosted by chuck1. Also attended by a couple of the other boys from our woodies club.

, thank you very much for your time and effort.
(I didn't realise we'd taken up so much of your time until I got home - 9 hours.)

I really enjoyed the day and came away knowing heaps more and feeling much more confident in my turning, after a full day of demos and guided hands-on. I just need to go hard at it for a few days and practice all of the new moves while they're fresh in my mind. I know what to do - just have to get used to actually doing it. I already did a quick hour's practice as soon as I got home.

Charlie, thank you for hosting the day at your place, and for making us feel so welcome. Your shed is miles ahead of my little one-car-garage workshop, both in space and equipment. Great lathe collection, too.

I'm no photographer, but a couple of snaps of the day:

I didn't realise you got some shots of me playing with the bowl blank and spindles.
I usually avoid being at the pointy end of cameras. I'm not much of a photographer, but I'm still much better behind the camera than in front.

Thank you gentlemen. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

A special thanks to Brooke for lunch.

Only cos he looks like Santa. ....

I thought he was there for wood work, not to look after the kids for you. Although he seems quite apt at that too.

Regards

He even played eye doctor getting a bit of dirt out of Sammy's eye as she went to him instead of me.

This morning she came out to me and said, "where's ???"

I said he has gone

Sammy said, "but I need him daddy. I need !"

Sammy stayed by my side or on my lap for the best part of 4 hours yesterday watching everything did. Could have a young budding woodworker here.
