Practicing
« on: January 19, 2015, 02:47:06 PM »
Whenever I do a Demo I do several practice pieces before hand because if you are going to make a mistake it is better made in you workshop than on a demo with the World and its Mother watching.
It also helps you with the timing of the Demo  it has to fit in with the start ,break and finish time.
I have just turned these two in one and three quarter hours complete with coloring and polishing this means my timing will have to be spot on.
If the worst comes to the worst as long as I do most of the work on both and only do the coloring and polishing on one I will be OK.
These bowls are approx 6" diameter

I'd say you're on a theme and on a roll, George!

You can do it George, just be a little briefer in answering the inevitable questions.

Are you saying I talk too much.LO
We are getting a sound system so that I can talk and work at the same time.
