Right then, last one before the big day. Seems like there's lots of work still going on in the workshops. We had some AI generated images, we got a look at some Christmas decorations making their annual reappearance, some prototype puzzles, an early gift unwrapping, a conical bowl, workholding innovations and a preview of some collaborative woodturning and rush weaving.

Well, the season finale is almost upon us and there is a lot going on. We got a very interesting presentation from Allan Joicey this week on turning cubes "on the bias" with Allan showing us he he handles this task and how his methods have evolved. We had a bunch of other thing being made, a santa claus chandelier amongst them and some talk of competition rigging...surely not!! Read on for more:
Another week with all kinds of things going on in workshops. We had visits to castles, high tech tracings, lots of Christmas crafts (keeping Jim happy), boxes in the shape of pears, flowers from the greenhouse and a rather spectacular piece of hybrid CNC/turning which caused a lot of interest.

A pupdate arrived this week so Jim was happy (well, relatively). We could also see more Christmas production coming through and a rather novel Santa decoration which seemed very popular. We had a cremation urn that almost didn't make it on time, a sander found in the nick of time, some new year preparation work and a really rather nice bowl or two. Read on for more:
No Pupdate this week but lots more going on. We had replacement fans, trips to the beach, dog sculptures, hobbit houses, christmas tree baubles, bowls, spinning tops and some really colourful Christmas Cacti. Read on for more:
Jim was in pupdate heaven this week, not one but two pupdate videos plus some photos of Roman's grand day out !! We also managed to fit in some turning, CNC work, helpful jigs and broken cooling fans....busy week! Read on for more:
Well, this week Jim was unhappy...no pupdate. He was also unhappy as we are now in full Christmas production season and the use of the word Christmas is now widespread. However we did have wall lamps, bowls, vases and a discussion on inertia sanders to keep him happy.... Read on for more:

Another busy week with an Pupdate, a Moon Jars, spherical lidded boxes, a unique pencil storage box, club signs, CNC hybrid bowls, natural edge bowls and a whole lot more besides!! Read on for more:
An extremely busy week with the photos and videos flying in from all directions, even Jim finally managed to beat the dog back and send in some homework!! We had repairs to storm damage, spherical lids, colour, texture, animal sculpture, CNC routing and more besides....it's exhausting just thinking about it....Read on for more:
Yet another busy week, more turning being done and Jim forgot his homework (apparently the dog ate it) we saw more burrs being turned, Masur Birch hollow forms completed along with wonky hollow vessels. A new member showed us his latest creation, a hybrid CNC/Turned bowl....it's catching on this computer stuff then. Read on for more:
