That is beautiful

[Mr Mac]

Superb!
You make something so technical and skillful look so easy - the true sign of a craftsman.

[Jennysgin]

That looks amazing E79!
Must take one hell of a steady hand though, 1 slip and

Oh, i've done it, Jen!

Last bad catch i had, a natural edge Beech bowl literally went right through the tiled garage roof like a cannonball! Glad my face didn't catch that one.

Was racing a friends Aston DBS Vantage in a Trophy race
at Thruxton. Engine let go big time,two pistons came
thru the block and one holed the bonnet. That got my
attention fast.

Loving it!
Living on the edge with a lathe!

Ta, the spider is my trademark, I paint one on everything I do. Only come across one arachnaphobic customer so far. She stuck something over it so she wouldn't have to look at it

Well I had a go at leaded glass a few years back.

Found that the base pattern and metalwork was easy enough for me, but your pics show me that you have the skill that I don't i.e. artistic ability that makes it all look so brilliant.

Well done you

[buffalobob]

Like you say phantom, cutting glass and soldering lead is easy enough but the painting bit isn't . I have taught or tried to teach but some folk just don't have it in em. Having said that painting isn't a necessary skill using just coloured glass can look great.

Oops, doubled up, to be sure to be sure

[phantom]

More amazing work there Bob. I wish I had even a slight artistic ability. Hell even the ability to draw a cartoon would be great.

[Elecrafter]

I'm into electronics and a little mechanical too.
I know 1000's of ways to make things that dont work!
Hopefully the still will work, but then it's not my design.

Retirement is the best job ever... Just the pay is crap.

Inverted at 400ft on finals caught my attention quite quickly.

I wish I knew more about electrickery Ele, I'm a total retard when it comes to anything like that. I was barred from entering the physics lab when I was 14. I was given a teach yourself physics book the teacher had dj's in the back cupboards with wine fermenting in them, need I say more

We are all different, and collectively we can overcome our own shortfalls. This is one of the strengths of a forum like this.
