The musings and ramblings of an ageing turner. Should be mostly about making round objects but may include the odd comment about life in general.

Ain't retirement great?
As I now have all this time on my hands, Ronnie reckons that I can do my turning AND keep working on the house!!
So I have to try and finish the kitchen. Old smartie pants thought he'd make some nice round steps. A couple of people failed to see them so I am adding oak cappings to the edges to give it some definition. Great fun but uses up rather more wood than I would like. I did want to make them continuous but have compromised and split them in two.
One more bit to make and then I can finish this one off. I am not sure if the glue I'm using is strong enough but the test is obvious.
Edit - all the edges seem to be holding up!! We are considering adding some panelling to the doorway, just to annoy a friend of ours who says that we shouldn't 'over restore' our house!!!
