Yesterday I had an hour or so and decided to grab a piece og beech firewood and turn it into a spoon. I havent made spoons on the lathe before so it was very much an experiment. It turned out nice though.

I made a bowl. It has the look of a chalice and feels really old, I think because of the creviced nature of the wood. I was a bit apprehensive starting this, worried about the tools catching in the crevices but it was ok. #woodturning #maker #woodworking
Calum designed and cut and sanded the outside of the bowl, I hollowed it, and he supervised the carving of the rim.
Here is a new lidded bowl and a dish. Both are made from salvaged arbutus wood.
Curating my follows a bit more to find people with more common interests...

I'm interested in following! 
On Monday, I got these ten bowls back from an exhibition. They are called "Reparation inom slöjden" (In English: Repair in Slojd (or Crafts
)). It's a piece all about repair and the right to repair. Most of these bowls have been repaired using a method that has been used historically here in Sweden and around the world by ordinary people. This demonstrates that repair is a skill everyone can learn and apply, even today.
This connection between historical repair practices and modern repair hobbies is evident in my own interest in repairing electronics. Just as people in the past used simple methods to fix everyday items, today we often only need a basic understanding and a search engine to repair many issues. The main challenge now is accessing spare parts. Previously, a lot of things were more mechanical and easier to repair in a personalized and fun way. By embracing the principles of repair from the past and driving companies to provide spare parts, we can make a big difference in this world. And that's really what this piece is all about.

January 26th.
Yesterday, I gained access to some branches and trunks of a black #alder tree. I cut these into manageable pieces and sealed the ends with #Anchorseal (a wax solution). These pieces are now meant to dry slowly without cracking. Eventually, I plan to turn them into items like bowls or vases on a lathe.

Well, there goes Royal Mail, delivering €150 worth of pen kits that I ordered from the UK in just over two months. I mean, we did have christmas and a large storm that wiped out our freight routes, so I guess that's not a terrible timeframe.
Shame they delivered it to the frozen arse end of Canada instead of my address in Ireland really.
Made another little bowl this evening. Spalted beech, wax finish.
Got the wall thickness down to 2mm at the rim down to 3-4mm at the base. Happy enough with that for this evening.

Alright, I've been given the go-ahead to turn one of the extra bedrooms into a turning room. What mini/midi lathe should I be looking at?
Still going to keep the shopSmith power pro downstairs for bigger items...

Finished this fountain pen today. Acrylic and maple burl. #woodworking #woodturning
Finished building a stand for the lathe this weekend.
The double-splayed legs are a big plus for the stability, though they made me struggle a bit when building and installing the drawers.
The five drawers offer a lot of storage space.
I immediately tested it to ensure the height was comfortable and I turned a bowl.
Three new bowls, from arbutus, cherry, and arbutus. All scrap wood I've salvaged. The arbutus bowls have cracks, which add character!
A quick post by way of #Introduction as I am moving here from a different instance. My bio is mostly about my turning work, but I am also interested in music of most genres, particularly #EnglishFolk or #traditionalMusic (I play the button accordion) and #classicalMusic .

I still enjoy making new wooden handles more than most things on the lathe. #woodturning #repair
Long overdue #introduction post.
