So for those of you who don't know, this coming Saturday I'm taking the plunge and getting married! Naturally I've made all the gifts, mostly pens for everyone and a couple of shaving kits which I think I already posted a while back. Well with 5 days to go, Kate realised we didn't have a present for my Dad... So I've not been in the shed properly for about 4 weeks, mainly due to it being 24/7 wedding in our house, so tonight I finally got the chance to try out my new bead cutter - here is the result:

I remember the feeling 62 yrs ago. You have made a great,useful, good looking bowl for your Dad. Enjoy the wedding.

The bowl is beautiful, but I am happier for you upcoming marriage. My wife (nearly 33 years) works in the shop with me. Wouldn't trade that for anything. Congratulations on to great projects!

Congratulation on your wedding and hope it goes well. You will learn how to say no in so many different ways.

Great idea making everyone gifts and I am sure they all will be received with thanks
