Almost two weeks ago I was blessed to be able to go on a wood turning course.
My wood turning was becoming nerve racking, I had pieces of wood flying around my ears and whizzing past my face because I had used the tools incorrectly.
I was the only person on the course for the two days so I had a one on one. The course instructor, John Speedy was very patient and I am sure he would be able to wood turn with his eyes closed he was that good.
So with John’s guidance, I made a honey dipper then the lidded box then the goblet and finally the bowl.
Since the course I feel a lot safer around the lathe, this wont be the last course I do, I don’t have the patience or the time to struggle on my own teaching my self wood work.

Looks good. Wood turning is my next “want to learn how” project. Maybe after the first of the year. We all pay for our education or lack of it, in one form or another. I do good to turn around these days, must less make something like you have. Great job, now go make some more sawdust.
Blessings to All,

I like all of them. I appreciate the turned box the most, because you did a nice job on fit, and the grain has little mismatch at the join.
