I am starting this blog in order to track my progress in the spinney world. After a year or so of practice, its about time I started to apply what I have learned and make some 'art' now that the 'craft' is developing a little.

My previous work included making musical instruments, kitchens, doors and windows etc. I started turning after damaging my back badly. Standing at the lathe is just about the only position that is comfortable for me. Even sitting or lying down causes problems - not best for sleep.
