Still practising bowl turning:
Another view:
The one on the left was a bit of an ordeal: the tenon (that I was holding it with while hollowing it out) snapped off. I glued it back on and (after leaving it overnight) had another go and got a bit further and then it snapped off again. I glued it back on again (with some newer glue, in case the old glue was the issue) and had yet another go. That time I managed to get it fully turned and then then the glued-on tenon finally got turned away.
I definitely feel like I'm making progress with this bowling malarkey. Sanding was a lot quicker (especially on the outside surfaces) than the last few and the process is feeling more controlled.

I am ok, just delivered the spanner and what he meant by being upside down was he has the hang over the back of the boat rather than lying underneath.Actually thinking about it if he is looking at the underside it may be marked wrong
So I do not need to etch off the anodising , re-anodise and do the lasering again

Be a nice bit of repeat business when he forgets the lanyard.I am ok, just delivered the spanner and what he meant by being upside down was he has the hang over the back of the boat rather than lying underneath.

Shame. Thought the lobsters might be able to start a new collection.
Didn't get much cutting done on the beams today as distracted by Tux since he's getting adopted tomorrow but built some shelter for the rain that's coming so I can actually progress without a cold back!
Love his eyes would keep him if I didn't already have a dog!

This little camera.
Came as a kit.
It has a working film winder, the back opens and the lense will come off.

This small bundle was donated to a charity, for their X Mas toy collection.
It was dirty, smelly and we did not know what the kit was.
It was washed and sorted. It was this stage we found some "special" bricks. this allowed me to identify the kit.
So we started to build it.
This waas complete, this was the brick that led to the kit being identified, here seen before being cleaned.
Finished.

This is another donation.
Again we found out what kit it was from.
