Disabled Turners

[skewman]

Being involved with a disabled workshop,and not doing any turning myself due to a bad bout of pneumonia,I took this photo of a desk tidy,which realy impressed me, bearing in mind the chappie who turned it has the use of only one arm.I think he got the idea from the woodturning mag.I take to them to read after I have read them.This realy brought home to me there is life after a major illness.
