Neat!
Did you turn the skittles yourself?
All you need now is a wood pole a ball and some string
Oh... and a few pints of good ale!
Cheers

Doing them now, just came in for a break.
Made the ball but it's not exactly spherical but I don't think anyone will notice after a few pints.
Pole is the next job.

What lathe do you have (off topic I know) Mine is a Uni Mat 6in1, great for pen turning and my model boats, but not a real wood lathe

I thought nothing was off topic in this section :)

I have a Myford ML8 that I bought new about 1975. I had no mortgage and more money in those days.

.Just had a visitor for another cup of tea, I think that's one per skittle so far, seven down and two to go but time to get the dinner on the go otherwise I'll be in trouble!

Funny you should say that. When I first started I had a first floor flat in
West Ealing. Had to wait until I thought the neighbours were out before starting up! Luckily didn't get too many complaints and eventually moved to a house with a garage. What luxury.

Oooooh, I'm a Champion* at table skittles!

*Croyde Bay holiday camp, 1978.

I won a 20p voucher for winning the tournament - does that make me a professional?
