    distribution box

    I have finished the turning of this distribution box in wood. It has been passed to the engine fitters to seal, paint and make it look like metal. I have some pics as it is nearly ready to be put in place

    Foot stool

    Been asked by my sister for a footstool with storage so I got on with the legs. Not perfect match but close enough, I should imagine that with practice I could get things like this a little close as i am so use to doing one off's. Now to make the rest of it I have already prepared the wood for...

    Little box

    My old mum asked me to make a small box she can carry in her handbag for her medication. Having no chuck i had to mess about to turn this. Think the wood is sapele but may be wrong. Think I need to get some proper finishing products for this type of work any suggestions welcome. Keith

    Gutted or what!

    The transport mechanism got stuck, just could not save it. Drilled out the brass tube with a 6mm drill. Not sure if a another mechanism will fit or not. All day working on that body and I was quet pleased with it. It was a Beech and Iroko laminate out of the scrap box. Still, never mind; try...

    Some Help With Identifying Wood Please.

    Morning All, I just had to nip home from work to pick up some stuff I forgot when leaving the house at 5am only to meet the postie who gave me a box that had no return address and no details on the outside, other than a note from royal mail saying it was damaged before it arrived in the UK...

    Golden Oldie. Bring them on

    I was given this today, its one of the Fountain pens that me and my dad made. Looking at it I think its been left in the gift box that it was given in. I can't remember when it was but looking at the kit I think it was around 1999 or 2000. I can't even remember the kit, I have looked through...

    A Pen Box from way back

    I did not want to add these onto Eamonn et al on their posting on boxes but these show the effect of using the same burl in a pen box and not. Peter.

    New Bandsaw - Record Sabre 350

    Well I took the plunge and invested in a bandsaw. :banana: I went for the new Record Power Sabre 350 14" from Yandles and what a good choice it was. The adjustment is easy and appears to be spot on. Power appears to ample for the 28cm max cut . The only bad point is it comes in a single box...

    Surprise Box

    I didn't do much turning in December because my workshop is colder than an igloos doormat. However, I did manage to turn this box, a Christmas gift for my wife. I carved a heart on the lid (I'm an old romantic) and finished it with a bit of pyro texturing. I decided that she might like to find...
