Lots of projects on the go this week, some being completed, some started and, of course, someone did have to go and mention Christmas (sorry Jim!). Read on for more:
Andrew Hall is now approaching the end of his outside job list for this year and we can all see very clearly where he has been - a lot of jobs ticked off and some very good results. Now for those indoor jobs....
Arun is still finding time for turning whilst he is busy at college and work. We got a look at some rather lovely Monkey Puzzle hollow forms he has completed and we got a video clip of the turning in progress, nice to see that RU at work.
Burnsy is setting to work on removing an old garden shed and replacing it with a new one. The demolition didn't take long as the old shed was less than structurally sound so it was a case of Shed: 0 Chainsaw: 1. Lots of interest in the carbide tipped chainsaw chains being used...nail resistant!!
Gary Lowe sent in some photos of a two recently completed works. One was from a Mallee Burr and the other from a Banksia Pod. The end result was two lovely pieces, both attracting a lot of very positive feedback. Well done!!
Kevin Purdy sent in some photos of a couple of projects recently completed. A couple of Christmas pieces (sorry Jim) with glass domes, the domes proved to be very fragile with only some of them making it home intact. We also got a look at a carved rim platter, very nice indeed.
Len Shield sent in some photos of a piece using colour, pyrography and some carving. The piece was made in response to a comment that he doesn't make enough use of colour. I think we can safely say that the challenge has been met !!
Patrick Lindsay sent over some photos of a couple of large bowls he has completed recently along with a log plant pot made as a Christmas gift (sorry Jim) and some rather precious plants he has high hopes for - at that price so do we!!
Phil Irons is getting back into the swing of things after his jaunt to South Africa. We got a look at some pieces of the Beech tree he showed us recently, now as part turned work we can see some very interesting figuring - "flame Beech". We also got a look at a natural edge piece made from a Burr Horse Chestnut he managed to acquire some pieces of recently. Very nice !!
