Watching a master of their craft at work is invariably a moment of deep satisfaction, and Frank Howarth is as satisfying a watch as any.

Frank is an expert woodworker who posts videos of his builds to YouTube, the latest of which sees him turning a chunk of walnut tree into a perfectly smooth eight-ball, a project which took him four days.

Frank said his favourite build from his channel, which has 400,000 subscribers, was another wood turning piece, this time an eyeball.

“I had an idea of how to do it and then it came out even better than I expected,” he said.

“My advice to someone starting out is to just start.

“It doesn’t matter if you are just starting out or have 30 years of experience, you can make something that inspires yourself.”
