BEST PRESENT EVER! (apart from the Shave horse he made me, last year ;-)
Here seen as Bungee lathe, because it was raining outside. But can also be Pole lathe.
Have been playing with birthday chisels and getting a feel for turning wood on it. Also have to fell a few more trees as all our wood is split and stored and the hot weather has made it dry out so it is a bit hard going to turn!
Shave horse ( made by Cm for me last year) in use to make a blank for the lathe from a split Ash log.
A bit of stuff I have turned down from the blank in the above picture.
I hope to make assorted treen ( wooden items) such as cups, plates, and various ornamental items with the pole lathe, I eventually hope to make a chair and some really good bowls, but I think I need to practice, first!
But even making shavings is good fun.
