This morning as I was getting out of the shower, I don't get up too early at the weekends, my wife came in to tell me that John, the engineer member of the Australian navy and a pen/Skype friend of Pete (chippypah) our very own one handed turning expert who lives in England had arrived with a heavy looking box and to hurry up!
Well John who is also a skilled turner and happens to live no more than a five minute drive from here had brought a box full of exotic pieces suitable for pens and more. There were also three Jarrah bowl blanks and we proceeded into my shed and I got a one on one lesson in turning. The bowl that I present here had it's top and bottom turned by John who then left me on my own and here is the result. I would add that John is now shore based here in Rockingham, (very handy)

Beautiful work, Harry, as we all expect from you. You have so much talent, anything you try comes out beautifully. Let's hear a great "HUZZAH' for Harry.

Good looking bowl Harry, that's something I have never done on my lathe. The Jarrah looks beautiful. What chuck are you using Harry?

Hi Harry

The bowl looks great and the finish came out beautiful.

Great photos and I like the labeling. I think I will start to label, a few words on one photo can save a lot of explanation.

I think I got it,,,,,,,,,, you are doing a complete table setting,,,,, Eggs and eggcup, now a bowl, what dish is next,,,,,,, a plate

Great "team effort" Harry
John

Thanks once again guys, the chuck Corey is the super Nova made where nzgeordie now resides. I hadn't thought about a full table setting but I am working on a simple goblet, nothing whatsoever like the masterpiece that Mitch made for his Priest.
Dave, isn't it time that YOU joined in the fun and started to give us a run for our money.

Well Harry what can I say, except you are like a duck to water. John may have given you a bit of help but the end result is down to you, and John will like the end result the same as we all do.
Ah but Glenmore you are doing very well without a teacher there, and you have the results to prove it. I take my hat of to you both, as for just starting out they are first class.
Anyway that out the way, Harry is older so needs that bit more help LOL.
Cheers
Pete
