The idea? I saw a similar thing at a garden center & as I imagine we all do, thought, I'm not paying that much for that, I'll make one myself :nonono::nonono:

Wilma and I were at a collection of turned Japanese dolls and I said at that price I think I could easily make those thats when turning started for me so long ago.

Kind regards Peter.:thumbs:
