Well if you leave it in that position when you go home he will be much better with us and not be too grumpy.. Init..
Anyway, now that you are on the forum you can keep a track on him and tell him off when he gets grumpy with us..

Well Charlotte if you are good at gymnastics I suppose you inherited Grump's svelte outline The only floor exercise I can imagine him doing is sleeping on it

Hey, Charly,
Had a quick sort through the mushroom patch and found these. Grumps won't like the piccies on account of the background clutter (I promised him that I would clean up my act!) Still, this was an emergency, right?
The 'shrooms are from laburnum, and were turned "wet". This means that as the wood dries some interesting cracks could appear, giving them more character. Enjoy!
Hopefully, this will cause a deluge of other shroom piccies being posted by other members.
Bob.

Morning here welcome Charly as a father of five quite grown up daughters and one son with grandchildren of their own I must say you were careful in the choice of grandfather you have. I attribute your maturity to the good influences you display.
In relation to the circuit board pen you have made I totally agree with your choice of blank that design in the board itself does it for me as well, an excellent turning.
I carefully noted your courtesy to your family I feel the same give my regards to them.
Kind regards Peter.

Bob some of those mushrooms look soooo funny and others really look like the real thing, I think the ones I see in the woods are toadstools and some look like them.
I see what you mean about drying out to split and changes shape, they are really interesting I will try to make some when I steal some more wood from grumps.
Peter that sounds well kewel its' morning where you are, grumps tells me you are in Australia I see your avatar is a map of Australia.
We have family in Australia from my great grandgrumps he died a couple of years ago, i miss him.
Great grandgrumps told me lots of stories about the olden days when the world was black and white and his brother was a TV producer in Australia I think the program was called my three sons or something like that.
We have lots of cousins and stuff there but none of us know them.
Wait till I tell my school friends I was talking to you in the evening and you are in the morning.
I have to go now to presentation evening its really been a wonderful day so far and there is more to come.
I have really enjoyed talking to all the people here I have left orders with grumps to put some pics on for me, must go bye everybody see you all soon can't wait to get back and chat again.

Welcome the forum Charly! :waver:
Its great to see more young people enjoying turning, my son is six and enjoys using the lathe and the scroll saw. Far better than watching the TV, although it is difficult to get him away from the screen when Spongebob is on.

Hi cheeky chops please dont do what some of the others have said and change ol Grumps it is so hard to handle when he goes all strange and nice it gives me a nervous twitch waiting for him to return to his normal self I must say you are doing extremely well with your pens a born natural you will be showing Grumps how its done soon next time he comes up to mine you come with him and I will show you how to turn properly LOL tell him Woody said he is a grumpy ol git but we love him goodness knows why
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to bring her up with me Sir Woody and let her loose with you on your lathe.
I warn you though she has my heart in my throat with her energy and the way she throws herself around the garden.
Oohh to be that supple.

Welcome Charly, sorry to have missed all the fun, some nice pens there.
Don't do what Grandad Grumps did & stopped a flying piece of wood with his face!!!He aint the handsomest at the best of times!!!
Good luck with your turning @ home & if you need any advise, don't ask any of the ol' duffers on here, nutters the lot of em.
Used to do gymanstics myself many moons ago, loved it, couldn't do any of it now tho

Came off my bike a few weeks ago dad and landed flat on my chest right outside a school playground.
I was flying then mate, kids were laughing and the staff came out when they didn't see me move for a while, I was sorely winded and pride hurt.
Ribs bruised for a good few days.
I was going for my heart scan that trip and turned up with grazed knees and holes in my trousers grazed elbows, blood running down my arms no sleeves left on shirt.
Lumps of tarmac all over my belly and buttons ripped off my shirt.
Nobody took a blind bit of notice and let me limp all the way through the hospital.
My Drain thought it was funny too and that hurt.
