Yay my very first attempt at turning wood!!

[scouseroy]

I know its not perfect I didn't quite get the turning to the middle close enough, but Im happy for a first attempt.
Thanks to edlea for sending me some drilled blanks!!

 

[Grump]

Whooo Hooo Well done, I wish my first was that good..

 

[yorkshireman]

Nowt wrong with that Roy, well done.

 

[paulm]

The first one in the bank and its a cracker, well done la, a very nice pen.

 

[Terry]

Well done Roy that is a cracker. I don't know what you mean about the middle not being close enough there is nowt wrong with that shape !!!!

 

[naxie]

Good job Roy.

You've got the bug now.

 

[Kardav]

Well done Roy, you're obviously a natural and you're definitely on the slippery slope now.

 

[Dalboy]

Good job for a first they can only get better. Well worth keeping so you can look back and use it as a bench mark for all the pens you are going to turn

 

[Paul]

Nice one fella. No going back now!

 

[Woody]

That is one very nice pen no one would know it is your first well done excellent

 

[Goulss]

Great first attempt, now keep it for 6 months and then take a look at it along with one you turn then, you will see how far you have moved forward, but it will still always be the first one and be special!

 

[PhillH]

That's a great pen for a first one mate, nothing wrong with the middle either in my humble opinion.

Well done you.

Well done Ed for the starter pack as well, good on ya.

 

[edlea]

Looks like your a natural Roy ....well done mate.

 

[bassethound]

Nice pen indeed, don't pull yourself down, it looks good!

 

[Jimjam66]

Very good for a first attempt mate! They only get better from here.

 

[Penpal]

Well bitten by the bug now mate nothing builds like success that you achieved with your first we do tend to remember our first of everything.

Kind regards Peter.

 

[brody2123]

Brilliant 1st pen Roy!! :bravo: My first pen actually looked better BEFORE I started turning it

 

[Kardav]

Nice pen indeed, don't pull yourself down, it looks good!

Hi Bassethound, welcome to our forum. Plenty of knowledge, tips comments etc. on here but don't take anything too seriously 'cos they're all bonkers, except me of course.
