A 15inch diameter "work in progress" pot highlighted the challenges of large items on a small lathe ...

Items displayed include - pot-pourri, two very different candle displays, egg cups, lidded boxes with decoration, napkin rings, four cornered dishes/plates, natural edged bowls, a spiral edged dish, a mushroom and a drawer handle.

Demos by both Roy Boulton and Allen Atkins.

Next week - 8th December - is Fun Day. Members only - you will have ten minutes to create something (the subject will be picked from a hat on the day).
