Nearly Forgot.....

[Wildfuzz]

Nearly forgot the Mother in Laws birthday, so a quick trip into the workshop and an hour or two on the lathe and my status as best son in law was preserved.

 

Amazing what you can do with a branch of Alder and a log off the woodpile.

Very nice Stuart.

Browny points in the book of the mother in law are precious things

[Baitrunner]

Your wasted in the police force Stuart.  very nice

[Wildfuzz]

My boss says that to!!!!

[Polly]

Clever stuff!

[Baitrunner]

LOL - Or is that just wasted Stuart?

 

Set up a stall in a lay-by selling those and you can retire  

 

Seriously, very clever.

[BroadScot]

Give up the day job Stuart. Very nice indeed

Well perhaps when I retire SWMBO will allow me the time to play a little....

[JawsOrca]

You seriously made them??? If so then very good .. Perhaps if near the tourist routes you should do one of the little outdoor stalls with an honesty box.. they are brilliant up there and we got a few gifts for people back home!

[Baitrunner]

Alan, so how many of your friends will be getting honesty boxes for Christmas?    

 

Now Stuart will have your card marked  

[JawsOrca]

lol.. I meant the painted flower pots... tut tut

I have been a keen wood turner for best part of 20 years. A friend was a very good cabinet maker and boat builder, I have always enjoyed wood but never had the patience to make furniture or anything over a long period. So he suggested turning, I got a lathe and loved it, you can spend a hour or two and produce either a bowl or similar or at worst a satisfying pile of shavings. I usually do stuff as gifts or commissions for people mainly in the winter after the boating season. I do bigger stuff to....

Not me in the picture I am far more rugged.

[Baitrunner]

That's one heck of a fruit bowl!!

 

Last time I saw a tree that wide it was a giant sequoia.

Not me in the picture I am far more rugged.

Ah Stuart, you mean weather beaten from a summer cruising the Broads
