We have some important news to share about HackSpace: Issue 81 was the last issue of HackSpace as a standalone magazine, and HackSpace has become part of The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. Starting with issue 145, We’ll be adding pages to The MagPi to make room for the stories and tutorials you’ve come to expect from HackSpace.

These beautiful bowls have been carved by Simon Beggs, a 22 year old wood turner from Sydney. They were roughly cut to shape with a bandsaw and then carved using an angle grinder. The intricate stem “is the hardest part”, says Simon, and was achieved by using a rotary tool. After a lot of sanding to make the surfaces smooth, the bowls were polished with 3 coats of lacquer.
If you’d like to make your own bowl, Simon suggests choosing a leaf for inspiration that is unsymmetrical, “look for one with some width and a little bit of interest in the shape.”
Instructions are available here.
Safety Note: Woodworking can be dangerous if proper precautions are not taken. Make sure you understand, and properly mitigate, the risks before starting.
