As you may have guessed, the day was spent with lots of &#8216;tool talk&#8217;, a tea break or two and a great lunch.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being a woodturner Phil is also an active woodworker and often combines the two. Check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.woodworkersguide.com\/2009\/01\/15\/its-tool-time-at-the-awa\/\">pedestal table on this page<\/a> that he made a few months ago. In addition to making furniture he also does a lot of &#8217;round-the-house&#8217; work and he has just finished building a kitchen island for his home.<\/p>\n<p>It was truly a great day, another fantastic &#8216;Talk and Turn&#8217;!
