long

Well I have finished them at last. The painting and decorating seem to take twice as long as the turning part.

Hi all, There is a special exercise we have here in France since tree centuries or so, that is turning a piece of wood as long as possible, with a very thin "hair" and some bigger motives or "masses". We call it a "trembleur", a shivering piece. I wonder if there is a word in English for that...

Coinciding with turning 83 on the 6th I took my mini wheels to the Hospital . My visit to the Vascular surgeon after 6 mths of being entirely pushed around with scans and deep scans the stuffy Associate Professor said I have arthritus in the knees,go to an Endoctriologist. Meantime its a long...

After seeing Ken's (hawkeyefxr) post on his very fortunate wood stash the luck must have come down this way as today my sisters arrived for my Aunties funeral tomorrow and they dropped in for a cuppa and a chat. Well to cut a long story short this is what they brought down as a little gift for...

Hi All, I have made and finished 2 pen blanks, 1 is 47.5 m/m long and the other is 44 m/m long. The bore in the brass tubes is 7.47-7.5 mm. I haven't a clue how this happened as I thought I was making a slimline. My problem now is finding a 2 piece kit like the slimline that will fit the 7.5 m/m...

Have a few offcuts of sycamore burr in the shed. This one was just about long enough for a Sierra

In collaboration with Phil from Beaufort Ink, we've produced this extra long double pen blank mould in addition cure silicone specifically with kitless penturners in mind.

Seeing Sammy's post reminded me of this which is about 3 months old. This is boxwood. 11cm long x 1.5cm

I have been threatening to do this for a long time, finally got around to do it. Biggest hold up was HSS, cobalt drills and end mill's wouldn't cut through the hardened stainless steel of the calipers, finally the carbide end mill arrived and it went through like hot knife though soft...

Wanted to give everyone a quick heads up that Toni and I got a new mascot. I flew out of Atlanta yesterday to Denver. (woke up at 2am EST for this trip btw) Met the owners of the parents and picked up the little guy then flew home at 7 pm MST ( 9 pm EST) then drove home and arrived shortly...

Hi There, Well I went down to Mike Johnson,s house today and was made most welcome by him and the family including the dog. I was quite taken aback by the amount of tools and equipment he has at hand. The advise and instruction he gave me was excellent, along with the money saving tips when...

Another Long Clicker, this one in chrome. The blank is an acrylic acetate called pure black. I have come to really like the chrome and black combination. I think it looks really sharp, and I love the simple elegance of it.

Another Long Clicker, this one in 10k gold. The blank is a Woodshed called Pure Radiance. Very pretty blank! I think the blank compliments the gold finish of the pen well, and the long body really shows it off.

This is a Dayacom Long Clicker in bright copper. The blank is Metallic Green from Exotic blanks. I've wanted to make a Long Clicker for quite some time, and I'm glad I finally did. I like its simple elegance. I really like the green blank with the copper finish. There were several challenges...

Our young Vic came a calling today and spent a few hours here. had a great chat and gave him the guided tour which did not take to long, I have now got some gaps in the wood shed but I am sure I will fill them as I have still got some wood to convert. He also left a bag of pen blanks and some...

What Do I Do? I am making this bracket for my lathe, I need to tap a 4mm hole. the long tap is a starter tap from a 40 pce set, the short tap is the plug tap from a 3 pce set. How can I thread it deeper with out buying a long tap for this one of job?

This timber has so many faces from shimmering like a shot silk tie to twisted tough quilted grain. Many years ago on a trip to Tassie a fellow Woody from Canberra and his wife turned up at the same timberyard we three Peters were visiting, he selected a long very heavy stick, very dry cut a long...

This Photo appeared on a 2016 Calendar for Lea Hall and Brereton Collieries Memorial Society. It's shows our team after returning to the surface after a long long shift tackling an underground gob fire. Bloody Hell where as all the time gone :thinks:

Our grandson is still there visiting so we are quite involved in this. The bridges and rail, airport are shut down. Apparently the President went too far religeously which the State has tried to separate for so long. Martial Law with the Military in charge. I do trust it turns out for the best...
