Large Table Base

Its not every day that a job of this diameter comes into my workshop it was 18"x 14" the brief was simple turn it parallel and put a 2" spigot on one end, my Wadkin was more than happy with the blank. And so was the client when it was collected.



My granddaughter was fascinated to watch from a safe distance with my wife keeping a watch full eye.


Lilly Rose is two so she is not allowed into the workshop without close supervision. I wonder if she will become a wood turner when she gets older? She loves to carry a note pad and pen it keeps her happy for hours so maybe she will become an artist who knows.

I hope she does take up a craft like wood turning, perhaps one which may have many more men involved but no aesthetic or mechanical reason why a feminine touch should not be there.

As a Design Technology Teacher, now retired, I was a woman in a man's world and found the profession followed very rewarding.
