Looks like a good site

this is a mostly friendly site, YTou will enjoy your time spent here. So are you a new turner, or old hand? Please tell us more about you. And remember rule one; NO PICTURES- it didn't happen. :D

Well, thanks for great welcome, sorta just settling in so to speak.

Work, hmm, well, I am sorta between workshops and so the old lathe is in bits stacked up in the garage with a whole lot of furniture.While we build a new house, with its own workshop, no longer sharing the garage. :D

But heres a couple from last years efforts.

A couple of very nice pieces Niel, I really like the look of the Gidgie, to bad there's none of it around here.
