Recorded turning one for reference for when I have to do it next year and can’t remember all the details 😀 This was one of the finished ones, but the unfinished ones (no wax, just sanded) are nicer for kids as they can colour them in with markers or paints themselves.
Nearly had a woopsie on this one when I didn’t notice the rest moving…
Got back to some woodturning over solstice. Been a while, out of practice. The skew catches were… good substitutes for a large cup of coffee. But things came out in the end.

That was a little over a year ago. Since then there’s been exams, which went well.
And there was upper air work with stalls and turns and basic flying stuff and then there were lots and lots and lots of circuits and landings that were so bad I’m sure flying instructors are a little bit broken putting up with them. There was also a bout of covid and the worst winter weather we’ve had in a decade or more so the airfield was closed for six months literally the week before I was meant to do this:
And now my tie’s on the wall 🙂
There’s a lot more training to do before the licence, mind you. Many more circuits, nav work, cross-country flying, then a skills test. Not sure if it can all fit into this year given how weather-dependent everything is. But it’s fun!
