Love seeing you do something than bowls with coloured rims George. Having seen what you are capable of it is good to see you 'breaking out'

Thank you Derek I have to find time between other things.
I like doing WIP's as long as people look at them because the writing up and taking pic does to quite a bit of time

And don't I know it as I do WIP's on some of my projects occasionally for the Woodworker magazine but sometimes for people to see how I did something.

George, I don't know if yours is, and a chainsaw blade at high speed is never going to feel safe!

But there are some soft start angle grinders around these days, I know I was always very wary of routers until I upgraded to soft start ones.

Perhaps it is an excuse to go tool shopping  ;)

That is it finally finished it has been a lot of work but I think the end result is worth the effort.
The completed WIP is now on my Blog if you would like to see how this was made.

I held off commenting until I could see the finished article. I wish I was that imaginative. It is a most unusual piece. If I happened across this in a park it would definitely make me stop and study it - which I suppose is the mark of a good piece of art or sculpture. Will this remain in your own garden or will it go for sale?

If somebody wanted to buy it Mike I would sell it but quite honestly I like it in our garden.
The trouble is people dont want to pay for the time it takes to make it

Thank you I am happy to do WIP's if people take the trouble to read them.
I have a stat counter on my Website and Blog so I know how many look and where they come from but it makes it more worthwhile if they comment and I dont mind if people dont like what I make. I dont expect everybody to like everything.
