Hi all,
What a crazy year this has been for everyone; things quickly overtook us but we are back! Today marks the official relaunch of the website. We took a break from Occasional Turnings to centre on the family but are now rediscovering the joys (and sometimes the frustrations) of turning and whittling; many a bowl and toadstool have been repurposed during this time.
Damian also had a whirl at turning some live edge bowls which he completlely fell in love with; it is amazing what you can do with firewood
While the usual craft events have been put on hold, we have also been able to complete some long overdue projects for the family with a larger den for the kids, which now provides a warm bolt hole for the girls (and us) and a studio space for the family for a shared creative space and home office, commonly referred to by us as ‘the cloud’:
New workhop furniture incuding a new lathe stand to fit the recently purchased extension for our beloved Jet JWL1221VS and a new workbench, giving us much more space for our woodworking equipment and future projects.
Next steps will be photographing some of the gifts and getting them onto our Etsy shop – so look out for some pings on Twitter & Facebook. Bit of a daunting task which we have been putting off for a little while but once done it will be fine!
Looking forward to getting some more projects completed and will be updating the site with more posts soon. We will be making some Christmas gifts for friends and family so looking forward to getting cracking on those.
Thank for reading this and welcome to Occasional Turnings 2.0 🙂
Damian & Charlie
