I’ve said before how odd the jobs a full-time turner gets can be. And they can be. In the last week or so…
- A replacement roller for a hundred year old implement
- A(nother) Irish drum stick
- A pair of acorns from 9″*9″*12″ green oak
- A replacement handle for an old pair of garden shears
- A set of coconut shy balls
Another week like that and it’ll be the south of France for me!
And what did today bring? Eighteen cotton reels in three sizes! My head may explode with the dizzyness.

Nice work Andy – they say variety is the spice of life.
What exactly is a “set” of coconut shy balls ?

Anything more than three!

Three !
I once made 50 from ash when I first started out – for £1 each. They took about 3 days but I didn’t half learn how to use the skew.
