That is an awesome bowl!!!!!!!!

Yeah im always pretty careful, being doing it since i was a kid so i know what to look out for.

He installs and fixes / services Solahart hot water systems so theres some decent money in it and i get to meet all kinds of people and see all kinds of places.

No, ive dropped the apprenticeship and now work for my brother. Im gonna use some of the money I earn to start up a workshop at home instead.

Well i was looking at apprenticeships in carpentry previosuly but doing one in cabinet amking qualifies me to do hardwood furniture, but one in capentry doesn not, thanks for the thought though :)

Some people skinny dip, others chunky dunk.

There really isnt anywhere to go in this company, I plan on doing my best all the way through, but when im done im going to leave if I can.

Yeah for the whole apprenticeship, they told the others they would get moved around but they didnt, i go to tafe for studies, but i would really like to have some hands on experience or else its...

Thanks guys, and i know its easier than what some people do/ have done, but it still really annoys me, and although there is other stuff people do in the factory for a full 4 years day in and day out...

Arghhhh, ive gotten myself into a 4 year cabinet making apprenticeship, all we do is screw stuff together, dont even need to drill holes, usually having a job wouldnt annoy me, but im just about to...

Come to think of it, i could do 2 long one short at anything between 4 mm and 7mm

Alright, so heres the story, im going to make a longboard :D I need to make it out of baltic birch or a wood with very similar properties, i need 3 sheets atleast 1050 x 320 and 2 sheets atleast 320...

Or you could use them if you need 3 different depths.

Well you have to start somewhere, looks great, very clean looking :)

Looking good, now to start the board?

You can do it!!!! :2tsup:

Oh, would i be able to get some?

Looks like fun :p Whered you get the blue quandong, because i heard its a ligthweight very hard timber which is perfect for the juggling clubs im hoping to make :)

Strating to get somewhere, looks good for chunks of wood :p

Well ive taken my time but the board is together, sorry about the bad picture once again but lighting up something this big was too difficult. stille need to do the 4 knights then ill take it all...

Theyre all useless, give them to me and ill take care of it :p

My view, and im not an expert, im barely a learner, but my view on this point is simply that you can create a 'new' piece rather than a 'copy' when you do something with it after youve turned it, for...

Sounds about right.

Havent updated this in a while because not much has happened, i finished all the pawns and theyre all the same basic shape :P not identical but close enough for me, still have to do the knights but...

Havent updated this in a while becuase not much has happened, i finished all the pawsn and theyre all the same basic shape :P not identical but close enough for me, still have to do the knights but...

Its only been 75 years.

Its all about the camera angles skew :p looking great, love the ridges or whatever you want to call them.

Looking good, do you have an infinite supply of purpleheart by any chance?

Nah still got 5 peices to make, 1 to fix and 1 to sand, one of my pawns exploded on me, quite interesting but id already sanded it and stuff so im gluing it together, if it doesnt look right ill make...

We do, but they arent very good and i suck with it anyway. I think ill probably stick with danish, Ill probably do a test, how long does danish oil last in a tin?

What does everyone think of linseed oil, just used it on an old plane, but it gives a satin finish, smells good, is oh so easy to apply and gets smoother the more you use it. What do you guys reckon,...

Thanks, Beech sounds a bit like what he called it, but is it a hardwood with cross grain similar to silky oak, because i looked but couldnt find many pictures of it. Sounds right, found an article on...

Here it is. Still lighting is an issue and as i said before i dont have a digital camera so i used the webcam. Any idea on the wood?

Do you have solar hot water? If so, theres probably a problem with your pressure release valve.

After nearly 1000 posts desk, has become fishing? Lake

Isnt blackwood just great to work with, and it looks good aswell, its hard but good. Looks great BTW

It sucks man, I feel angry about people that have done it because they leave people stranded, i know what the feelings like, its amazing how many people are affected by this, but i simply said im...

Ill do it in several years time if you give me all the wood, plus a little extra to play with. I want to make a set out of ebony and mistletoe, but arent we straying a bit far off topic here?

Loosk great, but the lid makes the rest of the box look so basic. Still looks great though.

Well did a few today, got one here, but willw ait till morning to take pictures because of lighting, did find a brand, MDH, its dutch, and dont know what the wood is but its europian and this one is...

Wow that was quick, looks great.

Im with Waldo on this one, cant wait.

And then the blue wire goes where?

Just a thought, maybe you should have two drums, seeming as you making your own, one after the other, the first rough sandpaper and the second fine sandpaper, just a thought...

Its a suburb on the Gold Coast :).

Well its the skills to learn that im after, I would love a rolltop desk, but only if I made it.

Indeed, I dont think they do much woodturning though, they specialise in the old school roll top desks, and then some more contemparay furniture I guess. Have a look. Click Here

My view, and im only 16 so i dont know much, but the way i see it, stick at what you do until you find an option that meets your standards, if such an oppotunity comes along in the near future or not...
