Wow! Where does the time go too? Sadly we had to cancel the craft
fair in July, this due to the drain gurgling up water onto the floor, this would
have been too dangerous for our clients, so appologies all around. We have
accepted an invite to display and demonstrate at the Scottish Mobility Roadshow
17th & 18th September (see main page) so I am looking forward to seeing all our
regulars at the show. We were invited to display at the Scottich
Woodworking show but due to prior commitments (I am flying away) we had to
decline but as you see we are supporting it in every way we can.

Friday 21st May 2010 we attended the Spinal Injuries Scotland awards lunch, the
scoff was fantastic and a great bunch of folk attended. We were honoured
to have made the awards for the third year running and they were well received. 
I am over the moon that we
have been asked to make the awards for 2011 and I already have my thinking cap
on, although it has to be said that my head is empty of ideas (nothing new there
then). The workshop has been busy and we have had a few new members, which
is great. |

August Craft Fair went without a hitch and we had a great day, with good sales
and good attendance. .

This book is a Guild Of Master
Craftsmen Publication
Written by Mark
Baker and is listed for £16.95 (code 1799) I purchased the book through
Amazon for £10.51 including delivery, checked in Jan 2010 and now for as
little as £6.29 second hand.
It is well laid out with what seems the obligatory section in the front
on Tools, Safety, Finishing and woods, however it is short.
The book then breaks down into Boxes (10), Bowls (10), Platters (10),
Hollow Forms (10), Natural Edge Work (10) and finishes with a couple of
small galleries.
Each item is described and often the techniques used, plus hints and
tips, I am still glancing at this book 2 years on when I am looking for
inspiration for a shape.
I found this an informative book for beginner and intermediate alike,
and the price I purchased it at makes it a good addition to my library,
I shall be lending it out to the guys in the workshop
