Bank Holiday Sunday, Wood and Wool

[chas_41_uk]

On Sunday Sue I were back to Basics with the Cheshire Bodgers at the Anson Engine Museum

Me turning a piece of very green Oak (the tree had only been chopped down 3 days before)


Sue plying two strands of wool together that she had previously spun


I was planning on going in the shed on Sunday to turn a bowl or pen or two. BUT Sue asked me to make a "Niddy Noddy" (go on google it) for her freshly plied wool. So out came all the bits of plastic pipe etc. Well 45 minutes later she was happy as Larry. However I wasn't it was now persisting it down with rain

A talented pair did you make the spinning wheel Chas and what did you make on the treddle lathe ??

No George I'm not that good at woodwork. I bought her that for her birthday about 6 years ago.
I was just roughing it down to a cylinder in the photo. I was thinking of turning a "Fishermans Priest"
but I think I might hang it on the wall in the house with a board behind it reading "The Enforcer"
