I had to knock up the tool rest quickly and it still needs some tweaking. The bobbin works well but the uprights were too thin and springy.
Jon's is a lathe that he made on a Ben Orford course at The Cherrywood Project near Bath and is bungee powered.
I managed to make a bowl from spalted Birch...
What a great day. It felt like a pre-inaugural meeting of the Essex & East London Chapter of the Bodger's Association - we'll have to work on that...

Looking good Robin, I have just got a couple of hook chisels from Paul Atkins, and made a couple of small bowls on my normal spindle turning lathe. Hard work!
