Good Idea Al. I did a bit of wood turning at school and thought it very enjoyable and therapeutic. Alas i have not had the chance to do it since, and i doubt i will now, but would enjoy a walkthrough.Originally Posted by Audio Al

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Really nice work Al, glorious colour too. I loved turning wood but not done it for years. I made this fruit bowl at school in 1978 or 9, can't remember exactly. It's English Oak but sadly over the years it has split but I've stabilised now. I can't believe that was 40 years ago.

Ian, Did you do the design ? Nice practical shape and a good choice of wood ,
Nice to have hand made items that you can look back on .
I made my mum 2 copper ash trays when I was about 10 yo at school , I still have them now 53 years later

It was part of my O level course. I made the bowl, a coffee table and some salad servers. We had a choice of designs but the teacher encouraged us to personalise things. God knows what happened to the table and the servers but I rescued the bowl when we cleared my parents house.
I still like using wood but not much opportunity now, I did veneer an old turntable plinth this year and I'm currently bringing my speaker cabs back to their former glory.

Wow, I didn't realise lumps of wood cost that kind of money, but then you're not likely to find a walnut tree while out walking the dog.Steve Thanks for the compliment , Pleased you like the bowl
As to making money I would say NO unless you are one of the turning elite , I have sold some items but being realistic what would you price the bowl as , It starts with the cost of the blank £25 and moves on what price when ? My woodworking workshop is at least £10K plus
Yes I need my head tested
Agreed, it's hard to put a price on hand-made stuff, as what you've made is unique and even you couldn't make one the same no matter how hard you tried.
I will say it deserves to be displayed well - don't let your 'guests' chuck their car keys in it when you have one of those parties
A good starting point would be the cost of the materials plus an hourly rate for yourself. I've no idea how long something like that takes to make, but if you can make a bit from something you love doing, that's a good thing. Most hobbies just keep costing money.
