I have a few questions, from another turner. He is the pastor of our church.
I was talking to him after church last night, and he had an idea.....If you have any helpfull ideas on this next question, they would be appreciated.
The idea was of a sort of lampshade. If you turned a bowl, really thin, and large enough (12" wide) so it does'nt get hot, and then sort of drill alternating size holes in patterns etc: and then screw it on as a lamp shade, for a ceiling light. Has anybody seen this idea before, or heard of it? Any info would be appreciated.
Another question: Our pastor is American, and he will be going back to the states in May next year on furlough.
He would like to make a few money boxes for his grand-children etc: Has anybody had experience with this field? What are your ideas, or opinions? It would preferably have a sort of removable lid, not like a normal box with a normal lid, but sort of like where you can screw the lid on with inconceivable screws, so the lid can come off, but where it has provision to be screwed back into it's former restored position. If you can understand what I have said so far, congradulations:D
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

EDIT: Also, my avatar..does it look all fuzzy or wonky sort of? I have tried a few different avatars, and they all have that look, nobody else's has that problem. I have 3 browsers(Mozilla1.5, opera 9.02, IE7) I have tried looking at it on all browsers. And the avatar looks the same in all of them. Anyway, just a quick thought. Also, on other forums powered by Vbulletin, I have not had this problem.
