How do you guys keep your drill bits sharp? Do you re-sharpen or replace? Are drill bit sharpening machines any good? I see the "Drill Doctor" machine can cost £200+ that is far too expensive does anyone have one of these instead? Sealey SMS2008 Drill Bit Sharpener, Bench Mounting, 80W, 173mm...

Not sure if this is the right section to start with??? So been buying ben kits in one and two's (only the slimline kits). But the cost soon adds up. Does anyone know any one that sells kits in bulk? i.e. 10 or 20's in mixed finishes.

The other day I was on Youtube and I came across a video on how to make a penpress, it had a link where you can buy the plans so I bought them so if anyone want's a copy of them send E-Mail address and i will send them to you. OH yes. The plans cost me a huge sum of 1.61p. So a wipround would...

Spent the weekend in the middle of a field at a steam rally which myself and the wife attend. I took all of my woodturning and set it out. I also acquired some bits and pieces, a second hand compressor which broke the bank and some measuring tools. The compressor only cost me £16 but could do...

I did some work for a customer on the CNC machine some time ago where they supplied the wood, Elm in this case & some of it was Elm Bur, I was able to make some blanks from the scrap & turned a few pens but quite a bit of it was to soft to be able to do anything with as it was. I looked at using...

Hi all these are the first two of some sets of stamps i had cast by Jim Swank out in the US.....very reasonable on cost and very nice to turn

I'm fairly new to woodturning, and although I have a fair number of woodturning tools, I've been sticking with the removable carbide tipped tools, as I'm no good at sharpening normal woodturning chisels. I'd like to be able to use, and sharpen, chisels like a 'proper' woodturner! :sob: So...

Fed up of clamping featherboards to my saw table I looked for ideas and came up with this. Don't know if it's been tried before but in my usual fashion cost me nothing as I had everything already. No drawings just an idea that developed as I went along and I may make another featherboard to fit...

Has anyone tried a vacuum chuck for bowl turning? If so, was it any good and how much did it cost, please.

My step-daughter is into anything relating to SKULLS so I decided to make her a skull pen for her Birthday, had problems with PSI so I settled for Arizona Silhouettes ordered a pewter and brass kit plus bushes, very impressed by the service and communication. The only drawback is the cost, kits...

I brought this many years ago and have never used it. If it is any use to anyone I would be happy to exchange for a Mistral fountain pen kit or a few Omegas. They appear to be around £40 new so works out about half price. I will cover the carriage cost which is a pain as it is around 68 cm...
