  • In this video you can come along with me on my Orkney Mainland - Visit Scotland - Mini Adventure. I didn't intend to film anything to show on UA-cam initially, but decided part way through the trip that I should try to put something together to show you some of the mini adventures I get up to when I am not in the workshop! The videography will improve - I promise. This was my first ever visit in March 2022.
    This isn't a woodturning or woodworking video. There is a voice over but if you dont want to hear me telling you all about it then turn the sound down and just enjoy the sights!
    I will go back to Orkney to explore the other islands during puffin season (!) but will be back in the workshop for my next video! I had hoped to pick up ideas and inspiration for some workshop projects and Orkney did not disappoint! Lots of ideas coming up. Enjoy the trip!
