Title: Having seen John's
Post by: woodndesign on February 13, 2011, 11:43:14 PM

Having seen John's post and having commented, got me looking for my photo's, I'd only film, as I'd lost all my latest Digital work with a comp. crash..  Thankfully for the wife, I been able to take a fresh, if not poor photo of one remaining of an early batch..  so here is...  
  (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5214/5442939687_447ebbd327_m.jpg)  the wife's.. at the time it was to be alot more, but I ran out of tops and bottoms, only a column..  (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4141/5443280062_a7ec404cab_m.jpg) remaining to copy off..
The design at the time was an alteration to Keith Rowley's.  Size is 5 3/8 high x 3 base x 2 1/2 top (140 x 75 x 63 ) an in American Oak.
So here's my first Gallery image..

Philip, Thank you for the reply, we can forget in making somethings, that it may not be easy for others to see how it came about, it could be ideal to put together a WIP as we make someting, I had been doing this and it was these and the record of the work it's self that I lost..   >:(...  I'm still taking pictures of my fresh work, it's just a case of where to store them, host them from.
We're learning all the time, the Club had to run a DVD the last moment this month and it was Cindy Drozda, now that was interesting when it comes to making finials.

John, Thank you, It was seeing your's that I had to check that I still had mine..  ;D..  well the wife did.. it's found no matter what the piece and how much any piece looks the same there is always small differances, it all makes for a copy an not copying a piece, we all add something or refine it in what we make.

John, Thank you and that the image works, it most be that it's my own image as it will not enlarge for me.
I find in making stands, it's more a lack of board, as with all the setup needed for one, I make a batch of as many as I can get from the board to hand, the board for this batch was a little bit thicker  than I needed, which made the base and top thicker than should have been and I didn't want to turn away wood for the waste of it, I can now re-saw any board down, given the time..
Will watch if you turn some.

Regards to you all.            David

Cheers Martin.

Martin,  Thank you,    I'm slightly lost for words...  WOOOW, something to think about..  I'll not sleep..  I'll read through the current Revolutions, base as to how long/short article, work out what stock I've to hand and start at the begining..  Off to sleep on it, what an idea.

Don't forget, David, there's a payment you can claim for a Revs article. Lionel Pringle will tell you all about it if you email him.
