David Lowe and his zip vase

[Walnut Les]

After watching David make a zip vase on Saturday I decided to have a go at making one, two hours later and after sticking my hand to the vase with super glue this was the end result.
Cutting the zip part out with a dremil and a drill bit was a pain but that's all i had to play with.
Your comments are more that welcome Les.

What sometimes lets these pieces down is the quality of the work done to recess the zipper-ribbons into the wood....this one looks fine, though. Good job!

Blimey Les you did not waste any time making that he only demonstrated that yesterday. A good first attempt. All I have managed is a workshop tidy up

Thank you Les, and funny that you say that as that is what I have found out while making this one.

Note to oneself, leave a little more ribbon where the slider is

You tidy your workshop (I must try that one day, does it take long )
I cut a woman's hedge down in the morning and had a play in the workshop in the afternoon, thanks for looking and replying to my post buddy

The vase looks fabulous, Les. I fancy a go at this myself.
