Okay, so I’m a little slow with the blog posts. I’ve been busy!! Unfortunately not producing things, but trying to get my shed into some form of organised chaos. It resembled a pile of assorted junk that had been carefully tidied with the assistance of a Hand Grenade or two. It doesn’t help that I am sharing my little space with the V8 engine (in a lot of pieces) from Marc’s Range Rover.
Can I see 9 conrods or is that 81/2 ??????
Actually, I don’t mind the smell of engines and oil. As a mechanic for a period of time in my former life I got used to the assorted odors of a workshop and it does make a change from Cyanoacrylate, Cellulose Thinners, Waxes and Finishing Oils.
A quick update, The problem with tidying up, is you can never find anything afterwards. Having coming close to throwing, not only my teddies, but the whole damn shed out of my pram. I found what I was looking for and in the process came upon a chunk of cherry wood lying around in the shed. So I turned a bowl.
Damp shavings fly!!
The Cherry wasn’t all that dry, so it may well crack or warp. Only time will tell, but it did feel good to be turning again. When I find my phone or the family camera I will attempt to take a photo of the bowl, away from the distractions of the shed.
The Major Down Side of woodturning is …
More Hampster Bedding!!!
The shed is a mess again!!!!!
