My father pictured here working on his beloved lathe in his shed. The lathe was built in 1947 and is in excellent working order.

    Excellent shot Janine, wonderful detail my friend xx

    My mate stepped into the room where I was working the other day and asked me if I would go do some wood turning on the lathe.
    “Of course,” I replied, receiving anticipatory joy at the thought of my mate’s pleasure when I would be finished creating the item for which he had a need.
    “What do you need? Maybe a new dibber or possibly a rolling pin or a vase? I have Persimmon, Hickory, Mesquite, a little bit of Walnut and a tad of Oak. What would you like?”
    “Oh, I don’t care,” my mate replied. “I need about six bags of shavings for the flower beds.”

  • Hahahahahahahahahahaha…I laughed so hard my stomach burst hahahahahah :)
