Candlesticks

[Yorkie]

Thanks for reading my post Colin, and for taking the trouble to reply with your kind comments. I've attached a pic of the full compliment of candlesticks entered into the competition, so of which were turned by novices. Everyone gets feedback later on how their marking fared, so they can see where they dropped points. (Though most turners can spot their own imperfections only too well!). As with every skill and craft, the only way to improve is by practice, but in the busy times in which we live, most of us have what are better termed 'pastimes' rather than all consuming hobbies. If I manage to spend a couple of hours a week on woodturning and a couple of hours on vintage radio restoration, I'm doing well. And that, together with checking into the forum a few times each day, is about all the free time that I get. If someone broke in and stole the TV, it would proabably be a week before we discovered that it had gone!

David.
