needed

Made this for s friend with a special piece of his own cross cut oak it had a burr in it that as I turned it voids suddenly appeared that needed filling took a little longer to make the pen but worth it

Good afternoon everyone. Many thanks for letting me join what looks like a great forum. I am totally new to woodturning and have yet to turn anything, I am hoping that I have not bit off more than I can chew by choosing pen making as my chosen hobby. I have been working on sorting out my shed...

Has any one built a bullet pen using a Mosin Nagant case in 7.62x54R. If so how did you go about it.

This one is a little simpler than the last one I shared, much less work with less furniture, (i.e. no clips or rings). I must say the Kirinite blanks really are lovely to work with and, provided you sand properly, they polish up to a fabulous shine. This is Root Beer with Black Pearl accents...

I needed a break from some of the little jobs in the shed and needed to get my fix of turning. Anyway turned this little bowl from some ash and a little coloured filler. Turned this with and undercut to match the outer shape. 7" X 2"

Help Needed just trying to put my first Slimline Fancy Click pen together. Instructions not very helpful. Anyone made one if so can you tell me how to put the mechanism together. Got these 2 parts I think something to do with the mech.. Advice please

As the title, I have some ideas that I want to play with so the wife brought me this little piece of equipment to play with as a Christmas present. Spent an hour setting it all up as the metal cradle needed bending into shape as well as being bolted together, then the bottom brick(under the...

Sat in a draw in the workshop I have a tap and die set for wood which I brought to make something a while ago but it never got used. So I thought that I needed to at least have a go at using it so a simple nutcracker was in order, made from apple for the main body and screw and Oak for the handle.

I was not planning on going in the workshop to turn this as I had something else I wanted to complete. Anyway, this is a box made from Lignum Vitae and measures 4" X 3" to the top of the finial/handle. Sanded to 2000grit using woodwax 22 as a lubricant as I feel it needed nothing else as it...

As in all Palm Trees a mass of roots,in spite of this tough as,great care in turning needed but good fun. Peter:goesred:

Good day ladies and gents. I hope you all had a good Christmas and I wish you all the best for '19. DIY friction polish....hmmm. Decided I'd try and make my own so I trawled the trusty youtube and found exactly what I needed. Now I'm not one to take the word of the first person I see /...

1st time using milliput for pens. A bit apprehensive when mixing the different colours. Very hard to judge the amount needed. All in all I'm pretty happy with the results!

So how come this always happens when I go to look?:whistling: Kevin:banana:

I have been very quite in making things as I was busy preparing for a talk as well as working on another woodworking piece nothing to do with toys. I just needed to make something quick. He stands 5 1/4" tall Made from Oak Sapele and lime. Quicky

I've got a 50th birthday coming up for a friend, he's a musician, saxophonist. Does anyone know of any music blanks, or kits I can buy? Ideally would like a nice blank with notes that I could make a slimline from. I've seen the music kit on Axminster, but it doesn't look that attractive.

Can anyone tell me how to turn a pen:whistling::whistling::whistling::devil::chuckle::chuckle::chuckle:

Had to wait my turn today for the lathe, and was only allowed to help when needed (which wasn't much!)

Hi all, Was told about this forum by another member. I am relatively new to pen turning so it's good to find a place to get help when needed. Been looking around and have learned quite a bit already about casting blanks as this is something I would like to try.

I picked this desk up on freecycle thought it would be great to do some pyro work and piercing work on as well as painting if I make a false top so that it holds the bowl when tipped upwards. It can be angled at varying degrees up to about 60 to 75 degrees. It was wobbly when I got it and all it...

Good afternoon all I recently posted a thread looking for a multi coloured blank that a customer requested but didn't realise that I had to post 5 times before I could attach a picture file so I imagine there are a lot of scratched heads out there? I was advised to introduce myself so here goes...
