An ambitious project is always worth doing, as a learning experience if nothing else. But, as the attached pictures show ambition can be attended by success.
Oliver’s entertainment centre is now in place and the work on the technically difficult long mitre joints shown to great advantage.
Particularly as this was his first major piece of cabinet work!
Well done Oliver (and from one who dislike mitres).

We have small group (Ken, Robert and Ed) who have been using the Shed’s lathe to get together, on Mondays, and make pens.
Unique colourful and classy work is being turned out. An opportunity to learn the craft by joining in or perhaps you could persuade a maker to part with one of the pens?
