The ground was ok except by the gate abit of a dumping ground for bricks and stone i think. practicing my mortise and tennons but it is time consuming (looks good after tho).

Yes they are quarters the front face is between 5-6" and go about 11/2-2ft deep the corner ones were a bit bigger. All knocked in by hand with a post rammer.

Good camera angle and theres another tree behind it:001_smile:

They hold very well IMO, the posts and rails are alot bigger than they look so the nail was quite heafty. We drilled the rail first to stop splitting, Like i said before gave customer a few options and they went for cheaper one.

Did price for that but the customer choose not to do it because of cost:001_smile:

The old tools are always the best they make them too cheaply now days.

The main thing is the right tools and sharp, for the goblets i use a fingernail spindle gauge. What tools have you got have you got a close up pic. Only 3 posts left:001_smile:

Wood screw plate will be ok for small stuff (spindle work) but the face plate holds it better. The 4" plate would work fine for alot of things.

I'm not even half way there yet, Note to myself i must stop getting my rude posts deleted.

I was at a show a few mths back and sold a dibber, it was made out of ash and was smooth as glass the lady who brought it said im not using it for the garden with a big smile on her face:scared1:

What form is the timber in planked , thr round??
-
As the title says really im looking for some wood so i can turn it into woodturning blanks, cherry, yew, oak, laburnum, robinia, anything really. It would be nice if its dry already, i know it might be a long shot as postage or travel will be the decider. Thinking about buying in plank form and cutting to size myself, so far i have found scottish hardwoods on ebay which are reasonable price wise any help or links are appreiciated. The reason i am asking is that i have just had about £200-£300 worth of woodturning blanks stolen, Its taken me about a year to dry out and ready for turning and some one has nicked them probably for a bit of fire wood:sad:.
