    New Axminster Chuck

    I won’t be buying one myself as I don’t need it but it’s not cheap is it. I highly rate my old SK100 but prices have gone up hugely since I bought mine.

    Crown tct

    Hi All, I'm not a dinosaur and I do like to be in with the trends, but I have never really been a fan of tct turning chisels. I bought a square mini one from Easy turn years ago used it a couple of times and went 'Nah' don't get me wrong I know how to sharpen a skew or gouge so I'm not looking...

    Hello from North Hampshire, England

    Hi there. I'm Tony. I have been spending money fast - sorry, I mean woodturning! - for about 4 years now. I started as a result of encouragement from my wife, believe it or not. She and a lady friend bought an evening's pen turning nearby for their respective husbands for Christmas. We both...

    First attempt at casting

    So this is my first attempt at casting my own blank. Alan Morrison kindly sent me a casting mould he hadn't used for free which spurred me on to give it a go. Unhappy with bought glitter blanks, I made my own and I'm very very pleased with the result.

    New one

    In a bit of purple patch and enjoying turning out one every couple of days. I'm afraid there are a few technical issues here - finishing, cap threading and photography - but not especially fussed - I think I know where the problems lie and will work them out sooner or later. Not sure what wood...

The missus complained when I bought my mill, and said I didnt buy her what she wanted, she wanted a pizza oven, I didnt get her the one she wanted,ooops.:nooidea: If you have a pizza oven you need one of these, the handle is made from rain tree...

    Ultra Violet

    After reading a bit about different timbers fluorescing under UV light and it being able to help with identification the Wood Fairy bought me a UV torch. It might take you a while but can you spot the Robinia? ;-)

    Whats Is This?

    When I bought my last Hercus lathe, this came with all the bits and pieces. Does any one know what it is? This bit slides back and forth.

    ProEdge Jig

    I found I couldn’t get the angle I wanted on one of my gouges the other day as it’s somewhat shorter than when I bought it. I could adjust the angle of the gouge holder but I like the simplicity of just setting the tool extension and placing the holder in the Boss. The middle one is the standard...

    Staining Wood

    Hi all, Thought I would have a go at staining some blanks. This is (I think) is Burr Elm. I placed it is some Cactus Juice under ]vacuum with some red colouring bought from Metal Clay. It did not come out as uniformly coloured as I would have liked, definitly unique. Cheers, Frederick...
