    Bushing Box Version 2

    Hopefully you would of seen the black box that I 3D Printed the day before yesterday. There were a lot of things wrong with the box so Yesterday I decided to revamp it. To cut a long story short I made a right mess of it, I managed to sort the text out and put 2 sleeves inside the box to hold...

    Oak bowl with finial lid

    Fully hollowed out to 5mm (ish). This Oak blank had been kicking about for ages so I thought I had better use it and make some space. The finial is Maple and the lid is some bit of scrap. I think it's all still moving a little but hopefully will settle down. Dare not take any more of the lid...

    For the little budding magician.

    NOTE TO PHIL: I posted here as part of the project is a pen but please move if in the wrong place. This is one of those projects "designed", if I use the term loosely, on the back of an envelope and developed as it progressed. My granddaughter is an enthusiastic Harry Potter fan so I decided to...

    Lignum Vitae Bowls

    Hi all, Sometime ago Derek (Dalboy) gave me an old and decommissioned green bowling ball made from Lignum Vitae. I started to turn it not sure how things were going to develope.

    Vacuum chamber lid - crazing on underside

    Hello all, Over the weekend I’ve been stabilising a number of blanks however noticed on the 2nd batch that the lid, which is 18mm Acrylic, had I thought cracked but after taking a closer look its only surface crazing on the underside. It seems ok although not sure I want to trust it for ever...

    Thought I would try something different

    Last week's efforts. Took some time to do this as I was finding my way as not done much of these designs. The lid is Walnut, the cup I am not too sure of but could be Ash and the finial is from a scrap piece of Oak What I do like about this is that the lid fits properly. Not too tight...

    Hollow form

    Not done a hollow form for quite a while so thought about time I did another. Made from field maple for the main body, American black walnut for the top and beech for the finial. Was going to colour the finial but liked it the way it looked contrasting against the lid. The bottom has a little...

    Stamp box

    Another present made this time a box to keep some stamps in as well as a place for things like tweezers in the top tray. The lid is held in place by the top tray as I wanted the bottom to be quite shallow to make it easier to get the stamps out of the divisions. Made from an old shelf unit of...

    Resin & Pinecone door knob.

    When I started this turning I really didn't know what I would end up with. Part way through turning I decided it was going to be a small box with lid. Unfortunately I don't have the patience to make a good interior finish, so now it is going to be a door knob. :-)) Resin & Pinecone Door knob -...

    I don't know whether to classify this as a bowl or a hollow form.
