After a career as a sound engineer in radio and television, Ronald thought it was time to start earning real money. Turning wood! It had been his hobby for many years and so it only had to be professionalised.
He would become a real artist. Get up late, read the newspaper, take it easy to the workshop, work until about 4 o’clock and then slip into evenings of debauchery with a lot of wine and women. So far the part with the wine has been successful, though it has already been curbed again…
Ronald is a professional woodturner now. He makes batches of bowls, funeral urns, knobs, lampshades and everything else that you can think of… and unfortunately nothing artistic these days… Besides that, he runs a web shop with stuff for other woodturners – and has become the Dutch national woodturning question desk, or so it sometimes seems… For fun, he built the “Mastodon” together with Jan Hovens: a device for coring bowls.
