Another busy week despite the many other draws on time through the busy summer period. We had new workshop arrivals (apparently they are essential tools and not toys.....), a combination of turning and rush weaving, more turning including a really lovely "chandelier" piece, the latest in domestic batteries plus the highs and lows of classic car ownership.... Read on for more:
Burnsy took delivery of a new piece of equipment for the workshop (not a toy!!) in the shape of a benchtop CNC - a Genmitsu 4040 Pro Max. Assembly was pretty straight forward and it seems to play nicely with the MacBook...now to learn how to use the thing....
Gary Lowe sent in some photos of a lidded bowl he had completed this week. The form had been carved and textured and given a scalloped rim....very nice indeed !!
Kevin Purdy sent in a some photos of an absolute show-stopper of a piece. A turned candelabra/chandelier in oak...this piece drew admiration from everyone present and is a really lovely piece of work...well done indeed.
Richard Dickson sent over some photos of his shiny new solar installation including the Sodium battery which was installed...the electricity bills are already tumbling!! We also got a look at the newly repaired ball joints on the TR6, Richard went for a celebratory trip in the old girl when repairs were completed. However, when coming home the joys of classic car ownership came home to roost...the TR6 now has a blown cylinder head gasket.....proving the old adage...you don't just get a car, you get a hobby!!
