Today I have been turning two pots that will be used for makeup pots, the wood is Yew kindly donated to me.
The pots are 10cm & 7cm deep the cut from the wooden log in the back of the photo.
It looks like two of my turnings have been included in Turner’s Rest.
Turner’s Rest is a paper.li content aggregator run my Martin Saban-Smith and it has picked up on two pieces of work that I did last weekend, quite exciting.
Pop over to www.turnersrest.com and take a look and subscribe it hits your email inbox on Friday’s.
This weekend I have had the pleasure of being taught how to turn some wood.
I spent two days with Tom Pockley and have learned so very much that I hope I don’t forget. I guess the best way is to get some more practice in during the week all I need to do is finish work on time so I can play in the garage / wood shop.
This is project number 4 a wooden box from cherry wood, it box is 90 mm high with the lid being 50 mm high.

This is item project 3 for me and I am quite happy with it, I also turned a box but that will be in the next post.
So we are in March 2016 and the time has come to begin a new woodworking related hobby I have chosen wood turning.
This section will document my misadventures in wood turning from photos of my first pieces to eventually videos to detail my journey, I am sure I will make many many mistakes but a log of what I am / have been doing should help me get better and if anyone else gets a kick out of my misadventures then all the better.
So today was the second item I have turned a small goblet.
I followed this tutorial from Keith Barrow on YouTube:
