I have been away for over a year so I am hoping I will be welcomed back as a member. I am not as active as I used to be due to health reasons, but still spend as much time in my shed as I can. I will...

Hi All,
We are currently in Alice Springs. Due to reception, I have not been able to stay in touch as much as I would have liked. We are having an amazing trip, and have seen some incredible...

So sorry, Artme. What a blow! Keep the chin up.
Cheers, Shirley.

Thanks for your comments. Loved doing them, and yes, they weren't as easy as the big ones but had fun doing them. I am doing some even smaller eggs for one of the local shows. So far, so good....

Too messy Artme.

Have made several full size eggs and egg cups for Easter, so decided to try smaller sizes. Hope you approve.

Thanks for the comments. Vern, my grandson only got to look at it - my daughter claimed it. It is now on her desk at school, and she said the kids were most impressed when she told them her mother...

Wanted to try something different and this is it. It very rough, as when I started turning, found cracks, worm holes and all else bad in the timber, ( dead finish, which I love,) but decided to...

This is what I chose from the box. It is now on it's way to Kev Y. Posted Monday.

I was asked to make three egg-cups and some eggs for Easter gifts. The eggs I had, so this cup was my first effort after being allowed in the shed. I sent the three cups with nine eggs and the lady...

I have received the" BOX"". Can I please have the name of the next on the list please as I am ready to send it on.
Shirley

I have been given permission at last to return to my shed for short stints, and to do only light stuff. Yesterday I turned an egg-cup, and had no blow-outs, so am feeling quite chuffed. Will have...

I am so sorry for not replying to PM's etc, but our computer has been giving us problems. I have had several attempts at getting this message on but no luck. Here's hoping this one will go without...

New Year Greetings to all my fellow turners. Thank you too, to the administrators for my Birthday wishes just before Christmas. I was having computer problems so am just getting started again now. I...

I do feel for you Wheelinround. On my way back from my specialist last week saw heaps of Camphor Laurel being felled where they are doing the Cooroy -Curra bypass. Could have cried. I am considering...

Stunning!!
Shirley

As usual, spectacular.
Shirley

They look pretty darn good to me. Well done.
Shirley

Thanks all. Artme, whatever have you done? No, I don't know the Pratts. Are they involved with woodturning?
Cheers,
Shirley

How amazing!

I will be out of action for at least three months. I had to have a shoulder re-construction a week ago. The injuries were caused when I had a fall early July. I am not impressed I can tell you, but...

I am home so if the parcel is still going, I am ready to join in.
Thanks,
Shirley.

Beautiful, Toni. No holding you now. Great to see you back on line.
Cheers,
Shirley

Best wishes for a happy and productive retirement, Neil. Don retires in May, so we may meet somewhere along the tracks.
Shirley

Welcome back Toni. What about a bar chair with a back in it and with gas lift?
Go Girl,
Cheers,
Shirley

:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup: as usual, Sam.
Shirley

Thank you all. Not sure which way we are going home, Sam. Hope the Dr visits weren't forced ones. All the best to you and Pat. Will definitely call in if we can. It is freezing here today, Artme, so...

Great effort. Won't even try to better that one!! :2tsup::2tsup:

Floriade tomorrow, back to Bungendore in a few days. Going to a big Market day on Sunday. Apparently wood displays there too. Will look up the Guild. Thank you. Coming back via Cooma, Tumut.
Cheers,...

Lovely - something a bit different.
Shirley

I'd keep it too - a little beauty!
Shirley

Hi All,
Currently camped at the Showgrounds at Bungendore. There is a wood club here so will check that out. We are booked into the van park in Canberra tomorrow so will come back here in a day or...

STUNNING!!!!
Shirley

A big thrill to win a first for a bowl of eggs, and seconds for a desk clock, a pendant and a chairside coffee table at the Wondai Show. No pics of the table as it sold the day of the show. As...

Lovely work as usual, Seamus. Love the colours in that skin.
Cheers,
Shirley

I will be away from Sep21 to Oct 21 so if my name comes up can it be kept going till I return please or would you rather take me out of the swap.
Thanks,
Shirley

I have always loved that timber and you sure have done it justice. Great work!!!!
Shirley

Cheers, Shirley

They look very speccy to me . Well done!!

Hi all, My lovely husband bought me some bullet kits and these are the first I have done. The bolt action one is very back heavy, and because I have shaped the acrylic, it looks a bit out of kilter....

I have one and just love it. Does it have electronic speed control. :2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

She's one lucky girl. Beautiful, John.
