Giles, thankyou for the kind words, please see my work as inspiration not as a barrier, please copy it but while doing so just that add something of your own to establish your own mark of identity.
If you need any help or advice just ask, woodturners the world over are renowned for wanting to help, wanting to reveal many of the secrets, wanting to help others attain the experience of uncovering the beauty of wood in all it's forms.
If you get really stuck, please feel free to email me, Regards, Peter Charles Fagg Freshwater, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom.
