Got back to some woodturning over solstice. Been a while, out of practice. The skew catches were… good substitutes for a large cup of coffee. But things came out in the end.

Solo…
So I’ve been doing a thing.
That was a little over a year ago. Since then there’s been exams, which went well.
And there was upper air work with stalls and turns and basic flying stuff and then there were lots and lots and lots of circuits and landings that were so bad I’m sure flying instructors are a little bit broken putting up with them. There was also a bout of covid and the worst winter weather we’ve had in a decade or more so the airfield was closed for six months literally the week before I was meant to do this:
And now my tie’s on the wall 🙂
There’s a lot more training to do before the licence, mind you. Many more circuits, nav work, cross-country flying, then a skills test. Not sure if it can all fit into this year given how weather-dependent everything is. But it’s fun!

Little bag
The sketching is getting a little better:
But the leatherwork seems to have stalled with six projects mid-way. Some little things got done though. This one was a bag I made a while back for fun, and I wanted to make another one, so I made an anti-tank bag…
The tractor is just a commercial embroidery patch (hard to go into Home Focus without picking up little things like this).
Didn’t turn out too bad. Just have to keep it away from Russian tanks now…
