days

This is my second try at a blank that I wasnt happy with and had posted a couple of days ago. I think that the thinner divider works better.

Fresh of the lathe me first morning back in me workshop for a few days buggered me back sorting the decking lol

More acrylic slims made over the last few days.

I have been thinking for weeks now if I should buy something that I desperately need, at least that's what I told Mrs G. When fit enough I go up to the shed and make a pen or 2, when I'm not at my best I stay in bed, that can often mean me staying in bed for weeks at a time sadly. So what I...

How far ahead do you prepare and tube up your blanks? Do you do them as you are going along or have you prepared all of your blanks days or weeks before you turn them?

Finished this Leveche couple of days ago.Hope you like it.

Have you ever had one of those days when everything you touch turns into a disaster? Well, I had one of them days today. Spent eight hours in the shed lost a pen body blank it just exploded on the lathe. lost another cap blank a chunk came off on the last pass. Had all sorts of problems with...

Ok I know we're in difficult times, I've had a 3 week break due to no lathe at home! Well it's good to know some companies are still doing great service. I ordered a few kits from a well known supplier and two days later there on my door mat!! Fantastic service, thanks again Mr Dart!!

OK, what are you all doing to keep yourselves busy during this isolation thing? For me, I have started getting the greenhouse ready over the last few days as well as managed to burn the remains of the old shed which took 5 days using one of those incinerator dustbins. And managed to planta few...

It is 4.30 AM on Friday the 6th. this day I celebrate 85 yrs born in South Australia in 1934. The last quite a while has been full of repeat dramas but the days are getting longer and from minus or low 2,s etc to twenty C Spring is in the air. Canberras Annual Floriade of over a million bulbs...

hey all, the other day I posted some pictures of my knife I am making out of some garden sheers. the scales (handle) was made by myself using wood and resin. Well I am happy to say that it is all finished! 4 days worth of work and I am so happy with it, especially the handle! I am still awaiting...

Not sure if you noticed but I have been absent from the forum for a few days. What happened is that week before last I did not feel too good and thought it would blow over as many of these bugs seem to come and go which kept me out of the workshop. Anyway, last week still not feeling very well...

Hi all, Cheers Frederick

Working on the metal parts of the next one. I am seeing little swords in my sleep these days!

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.

Last night I bought from my mate a dignified proper press from a mate. He is a master technician who installed every part of the Dental Surgery,repaired handpieces etc. He is reincarnated to a high powered Auditor these days. He has packed up his second but not finished Aeroplane in boxes...

A bit later than I planned on posting these, as I turned them about two weeks ago from some small blanks made from the leftover resin from a few new slab casts I made for my website! But with last week being half term we decided last minute to go away for a few days, then our daughter has been...
