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.
The sketching is getting a little better:
But the leatherwork seems to have stalled with six projects mid-way. Some little things got done though. This one was a bag I made a while back for fun, and I wanted to make another one, so I made an anti-tank bag…
The tractor is just a commercial embroidery patch (hard to go into Home Focus without picking up little things like this).
Didn’t turn out too bad. Just have to keep it away from Russian tanks now…
