Here is a Simple Ash Goblet. I had to cheat hollowing out the inside after too many mistakes trying to do it with a chisel i ended up drilling and then cleaning it up with a skew chisel and an awful lot of sanding to tidy it up. The outside was a bit easier i seem to be getting used to forming again. Famous last words hey lol. It stands about 5 inches high.

Hi Janey. I fell ill after spliting with my wife two years ago and lost as well as my home but the use of my workshop too. Ive now rented a place privately in the village were i was and i built a small workshop in my garden so i can turn again, I may only get another 4 months use unless i am able to get my tennancy extended so things are not on a permenant footing just yet. Im just glad to be turning again if just for a short time.

3 Views of a Yew Tealight Holder. The piece was floored before i started turning so i had to be very carefull and not let it crack past the point of no return. It came out ok in the end, It has a very simple form again due to my confidence with the tools but were getting there slowly.

Here is my first piece in two years. I kept it very simple in form as i was having loads of problems with the chisel cutting into the wood as it was spinning, My technique needs alot of practice again to be able to do more complicated shapes again. Its a piece of Masur Birch donated by a local chap who was getting rid of loads of old wood bits to make room for a new chicken pen.

Ive just built a small turning studio in my garden and will be turning again very soon. Anyway i will carry on reading through some more threads and if i can contribute in any way i will if thats ok with you guys. Look forward to getting to know you as time goes by. Steve
