Seems like the festivities have not stopped many of us from getting on with things and this week we had some woodturning, some woodturning tuition being delivered. We also saw some high tech innovation making its way into the workshop and some very quick service from a supplier. Read on for more:
Andrew Hall got a few odds and ends made including these Christmas trees which were turned for a neighbour from some offcuts of Leylandii then he added some simple LED lights bought online, very festive!! We also got a look at a video of a very nice Christmas themed dog house made by Richard Kennedy...lucky dog!!
Burnsy sent in a variety of photos including the latest addtions to the pillar boxes by the crotchet group, a replacement for a damaged USB cable (don't stand on them!!), some MFT accessories that arrived from Santa and a piece of glass that arrived for the stove door which was not expected until after the Christmas period....well done to Flue Supplies for that one!!
Gary Lowe has been out in the workshop and produced these two pieces. The first is made from Jarrah with texturing and a bit of metal leaf, the second is a piece of Horse Chestnut with some Blackwood legs...and very nice they are too!!
Julian Cleak sent in some photos and a video of a very nice Christmas present, a 3d printer!! Julian took the plunge and has gotten a Bambu Labs Mini printer, he was very impressed with the way it just came out of the box and worked...now he has to get to grips with the design software! Looking forward to seeing some prints in the New Year.
Kevin Purdy has been busy as always, this time a bit of teaching when his niece came over to try her hand at woodturning, a splendid first bowl with a decorative finish...lets see some more in the New Year!! Kevin also turned this rather lovely box with a copper lid in a "pagoda" style with decorative details...as always, very nice indeed !!
Martin Stacey has been busy as always, this time he has been preparing for a club demonstration in the New Year. Martin will be doing some "splatter platters" by applying paint to some prepared blanks and then turning the lathe on...hence the splatter part. A box has been made to contain the mess...or at least to try to contain the mess !! We will see the results in the New Year.
