couple

Have been busy relocating my workshop, So not had time to do much. Finally got a weekend where I can find everything again

Have turned nothing for many months, until yesterday. My missus says it's like waiting for a bus, nothing for ages then they all arrive together! :rolling: Glued up a batch for later, mostly slimlines but a couple of JR gents and a sedona in that lot as well, also drilled and glued up a few...

Hi all. I have been watching woodturning on Youtube, and having recently moved house and acquired a large workshop at the end of the garden, decided to give woodturning a blast, something to do when i retire in a couple of years. Bought a lathe, etc. Started turning in Jan this year. Have...

Had a good time doing these. Cheers Frederick

One of a couple of pens I've recently made by segmenting small blocks and strips - the banding on these uses a thin Mulberry strip and the edge faces (first picture) being of nicely figured olive Tony

Managed to get into the workshop and turned a couple of picture blanks Had real struggles with the resins recently but after loads of help managed to get some made.... Cartoon version of the Joker from Suicide Squad My favourite- Deadpool Have a few more that I hope to get turned over the...

A couple of wooden sirocco pens, Coolibah burr in pewter Afzelia Burr in Chrome and gunmetal

Had a play in the shed for an hour today.

Olive and burr oak.

A while back Mark sent m a couple of .500 nitro express cases. I was thinking about making a pen for a mate who has a great collection of big game hunting books ( I have told him to leave them to me in his will.) After thinking about it for a while I thought the silly bugger will only lose it...

On their way to the church to get married, a young Catholic couple were involved in a fatal car accident. Being good Catholics the young couple find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While waiting, they begin to wonder: could they...

I was across in Snainton two weeks ago and picked up a couple of pieces of olive wood. The wife wanted a new chopping block so a bit of sanding and a couple of coats of food safe mineral oil and it’s finished. No fancy woodwork I’m afraid, the beauty is in the wood.

Its good to be back in the shed after working away for a couple of weeks. Pat

Also managed to turn these acrylics too. From left to right a Zeta with a Picasso blank from Beaufort Ink. An Epsilon with a blank I cast last weekend. Another Zeta this is with a blank supplied as part of my mystery box.

Was given a couple of bits of Corian so thought I'd have a go .

I'm hoping to pick up some hints and tips to cast my own blanks as my first couple of attempts have not really been much good:wink:

Only had time to get a couple done this weekend. Firstly a beech & unknown dark wood slimline & a beech & bubinga slimline. Regards Pat

A couple of pens in horse chestnut burr finished in melamine. First is a streamline then a slimline.

Just realised that it is ages since I posted any pictures so here are a couple of Mistrals made as wedding pens. Both use Phil's Kirinite blanks which I must say I rather like. Accent rings and cabochons from the same material. Bride and Groom loved them. Pictures are not quite as sharp as usual...

This came off the lathe second today, first time with this kit and first time with a wood/acrylic blank needed to fill a couple of voids with ca again a first but very happy with result.
