I guess it had to be done.. it’s not every day you get to meet a #spooncarving legend in the real life.. but of a quick selfie with the man himself and a sneaky book signing for good measure.. thanks for the day @barnthespoon..!? #RESULT #makingstuff #LondonDayOut 💪🙌 https://t.co/YFyx29YoaK

all finished for the day down with #BarnTheSpoon at his @StepneyCityFarm workshop.. a great day with lots learnt and a few #spooncarving items to take back home.. it was an early start to get here but truly worth the effort.. time to head home full of inspiration..!? 😀🙌 https://t.co/geaF8d9GGV

bit of a ramdom #spoonkitchen session tonight after cooking tomorrows tea [Acapulco Chicken].. and not a spoon.. last Friday I set some 3ft willow into soak to try something out.. tonight I soaked some rattan rod so I also got to have a go at my first ever tension trivet.. 🙌😀 https://t.co/w8Ne05ifK6

Intend to shy away from such things myself and usually it is mummy who picks the job up.. haha.. but tbh, after taking the water right sphere out and using my hands to roll it around.. things were okay.. the nozzles are leak proof too for squirting in the dye.. #notbad 🙌 https://t.co/2b8hjVDWv8

and that’s a wrap.. quite literally, in little bags for the next 6hrs.. not too messy at all so I would say that was a win..!? and two little cherubs all happy with todays home activities.. best get the tea on now.. haha.. 😆🙌 https://t.co/3fMQjppXXH

two items down and we have already streamlined the process.. even if that does mean adapting the tie-dye equipment for a better user experience..!? haha.. #NoMess 🤦🏻‍♂️🙌 https://t.co/aryczr0arg

an inset day at home with the girls and this has just made an appearance.. I guess I can cope with being the responsible parent in the room.. what could possibly go wrong? it says mess free.. and #iamatechnician after all.. but don’t hold me to it..!? #KidsMakingStuff #tiedye 😆 https://t.co/xzHiyUyYgB

— Kerry Truman #NTUmakers #TechsConnect Friday@10 (@kerry_truman) Jun 6, 2022

and just to test the new setup I had a pen gift to sort out and finish.. but of a rush at the end of the day but nonetheless a nice result I guess.. I can hand this over tomorrow and be done with it.. haha.. this can go with the maple one already made..!? #woodlathe #penturning https://t.co/hJ2zxHf3qs

not a new #woodlathe but very much a new stand to put it on.. sometimes the standard pre-purchased benches are a touch too high.. these stands from @AxminsterTools are perfect.. and to some extent ‘moveable’ for a space that is changing use occasionally..!? #woodturning 😀🙌 https://t.co/CuTX0hw5YQ
