I'm a little behind on watching my woodworking shows, but I caught what I think is the first episode of Rough Cut this season (I record them and watch when I can). Anyway, if you've seen Tommy McDonald do turning, you know it's not something he's not comfortable with, and more of a beginner than anything. He also has what I believe to be a Robust AB lathe in his shop! So, this morning he did a show on turning, but went to the studio of an accomplished turner to do the show...David Marks. It was cool to see him again...he turned a really nice vessel, and then put silver gilding on it, only to use chemicals to achieve a nice patina effect. Anyway, it was a good show...and nice to see him again.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
