    Couldn't believe it

    So I finally took the plunge. After months of deliberating I have decide to build a new workshop 3 times the size of my existing one. Started the task of clearing out drawers, shelves etc this morning and moving everything into the garage. Its going to take at least 2-3 weeks. And then I've got...

    I am going to have limited workshop time over the next couple of weeks. I now need to pull down one of my wood stores due to damage from the winds. It has done well as it has been up for so long. Lost the roof to start with but luckily not directly over the wood and bowl blanks My wife and I...

    Fresh from the workshop

    My new Sphere turning jig. The design is largely due to materials I happened to have to hand. It can turn Spheres up to about 8” diameter.

    New workshop

    Hi all, What a place to have a workshop, just go out and cut a piece of wood and turn it. NOT advisable to drink on that day! Have not found a way to plumb in the loo yet, hence the mountain in the foreground. And the electric power is sky high around here. Kelvin
