Month: July 2009

  • Streptohedrons

    A couple of months ago David Springett came to the Hampshire woodturners monthly meeting and gave a demonstration. Amongst the things he demonstrated were what he called ‘streptohedrons’

  • Shopping for a new car

    I currently drive a Mazda 3 on a lease plan. When I got it nearly 2.5 years ago I had just spent a couple of months without a car. At the time I decided that I didn’t particularly want to ‘own’ a car, but was happy to pay to have use of one. 

  • HWA July meeting

    This month Mark Hancock came to demonstrate what he termed a ‘rocking vessel’ What this actually means is a hollow form, with no flat base. So rather than standing up in a conventional way, they roll around, or ‘rock’ to a natural resting point.
