Recent one to one meeting

This was the recent one to one meeting. Images below, click on the photos for more info.

Here are Errol Levings and Dave Line setting up to start long hole boring.

This is Uisdean MacBeth as he starts work on his lidded box.

Dave Line on his first attempt at long hole boring after Errol had shown him how to do it.

Here a close up of a home made jig to assist in the long hole boring.

Although out of focus, I tried to get a picture of the hole after it was drilled, I did succeed well almost.

Here I am trying to get the picture through the wood whilst Dave tried to hold it steady.Picture by Phil Moore.

Dave almost in fits of laughter as I tried to get a picture of the hole.

Here Bill Munro is explaining to Uisdean where the next cut should be.

Uisdean cutting out the inside of his box.

Here Bill is showing Uisdean the finer points of working the inside of the box.

Here Uisdean is making a shallow cut with the parting tool where the box extends to and the cut off point will be.

A little bit of sanding to the box body.

The top of the box now back in place, Uisdean is shaping the top.

The box almost complete now being parted off.

Time did not allow for the final polishing, the box as far as he could take it, to be polished at home.
