    Crown tct

    Hi All, I'm not a dinosaur and I do like to be in with the trends, but I have never really been a fan of tct turning chisels. I bought a square mini one from Easy turn years ago used it a couple of times and went 'Nah' don't get me wrong I know how to sharpen a skew or gouge so I'm not looking...

    What happens when?

    So ever wondered what happens when two people who could talk for Britain meet to speak to each other? A one and a half chat on the phone, that's what. :noway1: Topics covered range from pen kits to boxes, eBay to China, shipping containers lost at sea to Levi jeans, and jewellers tags to old...

    Wood Turning Club

    The nearest woodturning club to me opened its doors last night with a demo from Chris Parker (The Bald Woodturner). Sheffield Woodturners Home I was so much out of my depth, the bloke turns a bowl faster than I can get my job onto the lathe. He started off by turning a bowl and he then...

    Hello from Las Vegas

    I have dusted off my tools and tuned up my lathe and I am ready to start turning again...! I have been away from any woodworking for over 10 years. So I hope to make a few friends and pick your brains for much-needed information and get back to it. Nice to meet you all...!

    Desert ironwood burl

    Hello gentlemen! I come here regularly, but I have not posted for a long time. Penpal and his goodwill insisted on showing this one for the beauty of the wood. I have always wanted to make a pen of desert ironwood, but I could not find a burl that met my expectations. Patience paid, I recently...

    Follow up to Tell me

    I couldn't go along with such a deceiving pen so I have removed the culprit and changed it to a more conventional clip. It's a pity as its quite nice pen. Just one more question can you get the ends ( yellow in picture but doesn't matter what colour) for the refills.
