No not you lot! (Alex excepted):funny:

Here are some pieces I have posted before, on the Institute forum.
I know you don't all go over there, so I thought you might like to see them.
Apologies if you have seen them before.

I love them all Neil, so original. What at the last two made from?

Steven, I see you go on to the site, though I'm sure I will never have to moderate you! such a nice man!
Paul, the last 2 pics are a bowl made from a 1/2 tin of casting resin that a teacher left the top off.
No hardener was added, but I found it a year later, solid as a rock! Cut it out of the tin and turned it!
The outside was textured with a burr in the Dremel

Thanks for all your comments guys.
I do like to play with recycled bits, now and again.

Rather nice and very original, Neil. Pray tell, what is the Institute forum?

Wrong Neil, but I'll spill the beans, www.woodworkersinstitute.com. Basically its a site set up by the GMC (Guild of Master Craftsmen), publishers of , amongst others, Woodturning Magazine. There are several separate forums covering turning, cabinet work etc Post your piccies here and they could end up in Woodturning magazine. Some of the stuff posted there is a bit arty, and there are a few known names who post there as well. Have a look see! There is a lot of other useful stuff on there as well.
