Welcome to SWC.

      I started woodturning about 6 years ago I built myself a nice workshop, which measures 14ft x6’6” x 7ft high . I bought the timber from a reclaim yard near Whitby had it delivered and,  total cost with all my electrics and alarm system put in by professional people, it cost around,  £450 pounds and I spend many hours out there . My older brother Fred use to sit and watch me turning bowls, making clocks, and he was even more amazed when I started to produce pens, but eighteen months after it was built my brother Fred became Ill, and then passed away,  it took me nearly 3 years to get back down and get started again, I just could not bring myself to go down without Fred being there, and asking questions about the piece that I might be turning or polishing. but now I have started, I think that I’ll soon get back into the swing of things.

       Sometimes get so carried away I forget the time, but after many late nights, and aching limbs, when you see the end product you know it was worth it. One day I hope to get  a lot of my work together and exhibit in a local craft fair, in the meantime I'll just keep on turning away.

      As I live not far from  the beach in Whitby I like two get down after a storm or very rough seas and see what drift wood has been washed up. See in photo's. I find it very interesting to scramble over the rocks under the main cliff,  and have a good sort out of the logs and branches that have been washed up, and see what may be suitable for turning once it has dried out, sometimes I finish up with a lot of firewood after a few months, because it  splits too bad to use.

If you wish to purchase anything from my gallery or wish to speak to me about having something else made. I now have a number of Clocks, Bowls, Table lamps, and  Pens for sale and all pens come with standard presentation box,  price includes postage, and one year guarantee.   Please click Contact button and mail me, Many thanks for looking.
