hobby

Well it seems as though my new hobby of 3D printing is not as easy as I thought. Printed this goose, It looks to me as though it is wrong, Can't for the life of me think what it is :funny:

Hello, My name is David and I stumbled upon this website while doing some searching for pen making information. Hopefully you folks don't mind an American joining the site! If it helps, my family is mainly English, Irish and Scottish. I am relatively new to the hobby, I have only been turning...

Hi all, 2020 put me in need of a new hobby, decided on pen turning,.. for the life of me, I can't figure out how or why as I'd never seen anyone do it and never heard anyone mention it,.. So, here I am saying hi. Best John

Hi ya all, I'm a new scroller from Derbyshire, I got my first saw at Christmas last year (2019) and quickly got hooked, I'd not done any woodwork of any kind since leaving school, and that was more years than I care to remember ago, I'm retired so I do have time to give to my new hobby along...

New to this hobby, What is the best ca glue to use for pen making ?

Not a very good photograph I need to improve my camera skills. This is one of ten the guy originally wanted me to make one hundred. I told him no. It's a hobby, not a business.

Hi All Just signed up as a new member of the group. I haven't done any pen turning as yet but I am just about to embark on this as a hobby. My focus is pens to start with, but I will no doubt extend into other wood turning projects with experience. First stage is to buy a lathe and get some...

Didn't really go to plan. But that is all part of the hobby. :-)) Brooches - YouTube

Hope these look ok. Been playing around for a while with this new hobby. Slowly getting the hang of it

Hi guys, i'm finally thinking of upgrading my basic cheap pillar drill. I wanted something with a longer travel and something that is going to last atleast a few years. I have found 3 options that might fit that. I'm not overly knowledgble about drills so any advice would be greatly appreciated...

Hi, Names Davy an am new to all this forum stuff as well as woodturning. I got given a small Draper lathe a couple years ago but did nothing with it till this year. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I do.... I only have a cheap set of tools that I think came from draper too but not even...

Well even with the chip extractor running when I am turning I seem to spend 3 times as long clearing up after a turning session only to go out to the shed the following day to start all over again. Oh well that is the life of a hobby turner:rolling:

At what point does your turning go from a hobby to a business. If you already have a full time job but turn in your spare time then sell these items are you a business? If so, at what point do you register as a business and register to pay taxes? If you do a few craft shows and use a website or...

Just saying hello to all. I took up the hobby of making pens when I retired and have now been doing this for about 18 months. I'm finding the hobby quite addictive and have started selling them now just to fund my addiction and add extra tools etc. (and you can only keep so many pens for...

Hello everyone! I have been fantasising quite a while about making some pens. But now I have started to take baby steps towards this goal. I am living in Sweden, about 60 km south of Stockholm in a beautiful archipelago in a house with my wife and daughter (4 years old). I am 38 years old and...

Hi all If you have seen any of my posts, you will know I am new to this pen turning (well.. woodturning in general really) lark and have become addicted! My daughters said that I should "come out" on facebook at let my friends etc know about my addiction (and turning journey).... Well.. I...
