Beautiful job done John. I wouldn't have the patience to do that but I admire turners who have. Well done !!!!!
Fantastic, I really don't know how you have the patience to put that together in the first place.
The nerves when you put a chisel to it must be immense.
If I wore a hat I'd doff it to you Sir !

PhilH, First cut is no problem, it's parting off finished piece makes you sweat!!!!
That is something I have always wanted to do but never got round to doing I dont think I have the patience needed for a project like that I like to start and finish all in the same day so I do take my hat of to you sir for having the skill and the patience to create a work like that bloody well done John

Thanks Woody,
I saw an article on Thursday evening about doing the open ring, thought I would have a go, started Friday morning, finished this morning, lots of waiting time for glue to dry so other bits and pieces in between, not as long as the first one took.
