‘Ello again!

These are my second turnings, created using my second late ‘design’. Check out my blog for details, or if you’re feeling lazy here’s a pic.

The first two are quickies I did just to test out my new ‘design’ and have some fun. The third is my pride and joy so far, a doodad made out of purpleheart to see if I am able to turn hardwood. (Yes, but really damn slowly!) The third is a doohickey made from a mystery wood, salvaged from a tea box. Does anyone know what this is? It turns like butter, even with my rather dull chisel. But unfortunately, it gives me sneezing/coughing fits :(

Cheers,
Marcel

‘Ello!

These are my first turnings, all done on my first lathe ‘design’ as detailed by my blog.
The first little button started as a wedge, and was sanded for quite a while. The ‘beehive’ type-thing was my second turning, using a hacksaw to rough in a cylinder, a chisel for the details and yes, a lot of sandpaper. My third turning fell apart into two pieces, but I still consider it one turning for some reason.

Cheers,
Marcel
