580 - Turning Club - Fun Day 2012

Gary Rance started the day with a demo and it was then down to business.

The theme for the day was picked from a hat - this time it's a MUSHROOM.

So - ten minutes to create a mushroom starting with a mounted blank.

As can be seen from the photos - lots of concentration - plus trepidation, panic, anguish, frustration and relief ... and lots of light hearted banter ... and very few disasters.

Thanks to Debbie Piggott for taking the photos.
