Well that was fun....

This hollowing is not as easy as you make it look....

Incense cone burning...smoking Snowman.... don’t worry I know what’s wrong with it... but it’s my first attempt...

The little swine thought he was the one off the telly and did a flying act off the lathe...thankfully as we head butted each other I was wearing my visor...:pray:

Looks like he did not dent his ego or your's. Looks like You had a good day all except the flying act. For a first he looks good, yes there are going to be mistakes and a few at that in the future take them all as a learning curve. One step at a time, try to get out to the shed as much as possible the more you make the more confident you will become and don't try to make anything to fancy keep it simple until comfortable

Looks a great result there Kevin.
There will be many more mistakes to make, trust me, I'm a turner. As long as they come out as well as this you should be ok.
