At the start of this course I said that the aim of the course was to have fun, learn some techniques, and produce quality shavings. There was no expectation to come away with any finished item, nor was there any aim to produce anything in our first year of turning, but if we could derive pleasure from turning wood into beautiful shavings, and become comfortable and proficient in the use of tools then we should be happy. Despite this, last night we finished the bowls we had started in weeks four and five of the course, then we spent 40 minutes making another bowl from scratch, therefore finishing the course with TWO bowls.

Thank you students, John for helping the first half of the course, and wee Phil for stocking up with biscuits.
