Simon Hope

Simon

Spent last weekend with Simon Hope. What an enjoyable two days of woodturning. My main interest was working with pewter but I picked up lots of tips and inspiration.

A bit cold sleeping in the van on Saturday night but an impromptu blow on the bagpipes and a cup of tea from Simon Sunday morning warmed me right up.

We turned a few finished pieces and one knotty lampshade in walnut. Pics follow.

I can't recommend Simon highly enough.

I'll be back.

I thought my shop was inclined to be messy!
