day

Yep, every year on the first Friday in November, it’s International Fountain Pen Day, and has been since it was introduced in 2012. This year, the first Friday in November is the 5th, which happens to be today. Who introduced it? I have absolutely no idea, but unlike some other tenuous attempts...

Yes, I know. If you've just fallen over with the shock, I quite understand why. Back in the day I was making perhaps 7 or 8 pens a day, but I haven't had time to do one for over two years. Here it is. It's chrome Beaufort Headwind (no surprise there) in a resin cast carbon fibre blank.

One of the few events that could go on safely this year!

As most of you will be aware I took part in a one full day wood turning training course on Wednesday 7th July and I will try and express my views on it in this thread. Before I continue I would like to make clear that I have received no payment of any kind nor was I given any incentive payments...

Well if nothing else the title alone would probably get this thread a few more views :face: Of course I am talking about my wood turning virginity. I wanted to show these photo's on here before anywhere else mainly due to the wonderful help and advice you have shown me since I joined up, it...

Happy birthday. :happybirthday::happybirthday::happybirthday: Enjoy your day.

I usually only turn wood but wanted to do something with Mother with it so tried this.

And just to complete the circle on this special day, here’s a pic of the first kit I made in gorgeous (?) faux lizard skin. I use it every day so at least I know it works! Cheers Ash

Day 96 of Quarantine. Bin collection tomorrow, preparing to take out the rubbish. So excited I can’t decide what to wear. ------------------------- Don't know what's going on, but I took my bin out about 8pm tonight and the whole street started clapping, which was nice...

Happy birthday Mark. Have a great day. Dave

Besides the two bowls in the bowl section of the forum, I have managed to cut up some burrs ready for turning a little smaller than the others I have done hope they turn out as well as those. Also managed a little work on a VE Day vase (I know a little late) and also managed to return the wire...

For those of my generation who do not and cannot comprehend why Facebook exists I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles. Therefore, every day I walk down the street and tell passers-by: • what I have eaten • how I feel at the moment...

Well, have spent the first day in the workshop hoping to at least get something made. And what do I end up doing crawling around the floor cleaning under every unit in there dropped a screw from an expensive caliper set, not the easiest thing to replace:vangry::vangry::vangry:. Eventually...
