The fruits of my lathe this week, some of them anyway. Stock for the fair in Feb. Been working just on the acrylics for now to get them out the way. Still got more omegas and jnr gents to do in acrylic. Had a fair share of exploding blanks on the lathe too which is a pain, I haven't got much stock left of acrylic to replace them. Sorry about the pics, just taken on my phone for convenience.

I know what you mean Jim, I'm ready to turn some wood but the acrylics certainly do look colourful and hopefully create impact to attract attention but that can be a pain to turn

Careful collection of blanks Ray neat to be ahead of a deadline but I suppose February is knocking on the door already.

There are buyers just waiting for that fair I would like to hear that for you splashes of colour a little lighting and presto they will come. Variations of striking colour mate they look the part.

Do well Peter.:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
