Remember the carousel I started a few weeks back and displayed on WOYWW here . Well, this is mark 1, the base, but the centre pole wouldn’t stay upright so I had to start again!
Here is the new improved base which is much sturdier. I recycled the doily, re-enforced the base of the pole (lollipop sticks) and used a glue gun and it did the trick.
At a recent meeting, Lesley asked when I was going to finish the carousel, so this is just a sneak peek especially for you Lesley. Still have a few tweaks to do in snatched moments. It was a project I undertook merely to challenge myself and satisfy my own curiousity so that’s why it’s taken so long. It’s not for scutinising at close quarters, that’s reserved for my eyes only! 
Pop back later in the week. It should be finished by then.
