Really chuffed with my first attempt during a day with the grampian wood turners.

You've now committed yourself to a lonesome life in the shed turning and when not there, looking through the Axminster porn mag to see what you can buy next, wondering how you can get a bigger man cave and hoarding pieces you've made, being told all the time you've got to sell them by the SWMBO.

A good couple of initial pieced by the way. :thumbs:
