Really good to get back in my workshop for a couple of hours this afternoon. It has been way too long!

Did some turning recently #polelathe

The chisels arrived. Not overly sharp, should I sharpen them first? It’s for turning on a pole lathe.

@stdh ja, je begint met een blok (Linde in dit specifiek geval). Dat maak je min of meer achthoekig met een bijl. Op de wipdraaibank draai je dat tot een cylinder en dan naar een rammelaar. Die ring is gedraaid en losgesneden op de draaibank want je moet de onderliggende cylinder nog mooi rond draaien.

Dit is de draaibank:

Started turning this plum wood bowl but the core snapped due to an imperfection. I’ll finish it by hand later. Plum wood has great colour but rarely grows straight and is full of imperfections. #plumwood #TheLegionary #bowlturning #polelathe #woodturner #vikinglathe #tourneursurbois #greenwoodworking

Turning some walnut I rescued from a burn pile. Made a small uneven bowl ideal for beverages or olives. #polelathe #woodturning #woodenbowl #tourneursurbois #tourabois #thelegionary #StSulpiceDEymet

I should have put #polelathe #greenwoodworking in that toot. Are there green woodworkers active on Mastodon? Please boost, so I can find them!

This is my daughter, our first tryout of the first pole lathe I ever made. This is so much fun!
