Today my students were Steven and his son Henry
This was Henry's 18Th birthday present from his Mum and Dad and Steven decided to join him.They both made a nice beech bowl and we had a very pleasant day.
I think the sun was in their eyes when I took the pick.

Todays student Arron
Today my student was Arron 23 was one of the youngest students I have ever had here.Most but not all of my students are retirement age so this made a very pleasant change.
Arron works in London as a prop builder working on large shows.He is obviously very capable with his hands and took to woodturning like a duck to water.
Here are some pics I took throughout the day.
Very nice shavings he is taking to turning exceptionally well
Rim coloured and ready for final cuts and sanding Arron's tooling was so good by now there was no need to scrape the inside
Arron did so well today there was a bit of time left over for some spindle turning practice
And this is the result one very made perfect bowl a present for his Girlfriend Stacey I think she is a very lucky young Lady.Doesn't he look pleased with himself and so he should he did very very well.

Starting the outside of the bowl and making nice shavings
Bottom turned and ready for scraping
Carefully sanding the bottom of the bowl
Inspecting the sanded surface
The bowl is reverse chucked and the inside is being removed

Spigot removal ready to sand base then buff.
