GALLERY - members' turning in April 2020

Photos of items made by members during the coronavirus outbreak, when club meetings were cancelled and we were all "locked down" at home.

Add your photos to the gallery

Derek Quinn Ash logs free to collect (eventually)

Derek Quinn Yew log given to me, cut 20 years ago, hard as iron, any suggestions what to do with it.

John Kershaw. Here's another platter. The first photo shows it on my lathe with blocks glued onto the sides, cut into the round on the bandsaw, this protects the corners when turning, note the improvised freestanding tool rest.
