Sorry if this is too much of a ramble!

Thanks John!

Well done Steve, that goblet really deserved a prize.

Thanks Walter!

I would strongly recommend joining any local club - and if there isn't one - maybe think about creating one.

Well done Steve. You are right about clubs, great places to learn new skills and share ideas.

Thanks Peter!

I have learnt so much from chatting with club members...

I second every thought expressed re club membership and wish you well, thanks for showing your master piece.

Peter.

Thanks Paul!

It was a challenge.....

Congratulations. It looks fantastic.

Cheers Allen!

I have spoken to quite a few now and will be getting the Axminster one.... hopefully it will be a "breath of fresh air"!

Well done it is a lovely piece. On the respirator front I have heard good things about the Axminster. I have a Trend and yes it is quite heavy but one does get used to it.

Cheers Vic!

Well done Steve

Thanks Paul!

I went as thin as I dared!

Well done Steve, great goblet by the way

 

[steveisfound]

Thanks Keith!

I am going with the Axminster one... hopefully the right choice?

Nice to see steve mate. The choice of a powered respirator is a good one. I've got the trend air shield and while it can be a bit cumbersome it does an excellent job

Thanks George! So glad you are ok after the flying lump of wood incident! Doesn't time fly as well? 12 months seems to have gone by in a blink!

Well done Steve. I've only been turning for 12 months and recently got the Axminister helmet, which may have saved my bacon when a big lump of wood came off the lathe and tried to club me to death. I'm really glad I got it. Congratulations on your success.
George

Congratulations Steve, a real achievement

Congrats and well done Steve.

Thanks Tom!

I see you are in Cornwall.... we are currently selling our house and looking to move to Cornwall.... love the county!

Well done

Thanks Derek! I will be getting the Axminster one as well. Any recognition for turning is reward in itself!

Like any battery operated item it is remembering to keep it charged as it is no good if it is flat when you come to use it first thing in the morning. When I brought mine I also brought the outer filter and also a pack of visor overlays better to replace those than the main shield due to scratched. I am still using the one I put on there when I got it. I find it so easy to walk into the shed and before starting just pop it on better than having separate goggles and mask. It comes in its own storage box and that is where mine stays until I need it

Good idea Derek! I will be getting the same extras.
