4 very special pen ordered each one is a piece of or history

A set of walnut (fountain pen / roller ball / biro / pencil / letter opener) All in walnut - the wood was taken from one piece, but came out vastly different across the pieces...

When I'm not playing on my lathe, I earn a living as a truck driver, the other day I had the good fortune to have a collection from Sykes Timber in Atherstone ( www.sykestimber.co.uk ). Casually mentioned to the owner that I would love to have an hour to myself in the sheds with a hand saw...

i think this one turned out well..not decided what to do with the middle once ive drilled it for the tube :thinks:...

This wasn't the easiest to do, and I found finishing it a challenge too it blocked really quickly, and you may notice the crack that was all the way through the blank - but I'm happy with the end piece. Regards Padster

Guys, I need some help do any of you know where I can source a piece of 12.5mm (well this is the drill size) brass pen tube. The kit is PSI - but I'm having no joy finding tube - Axi only have replacement kits. The issue was in putting the pen together the upper cap piece fractured - now I...

A friend of mine who is a carpenter had placed this little piece of Bubinga in his firewood basket as such a tiny piece of wood was of no use to him. Lucky I spotted it! Nice simple grain and much better as a pen I think. Yes i know its another shiny pen. I just like shiny things! Another...

With it being a bit of a sport fest this weekend I didn't have much time in the man cave.... but I have dressed a TM Ares in antique copper in my final piece of Stabilised Blue Maple Burl... Regards Padster

into the reams of off centre turning...quite pleased with it TBH it did come off the lathe once and cracked, but it was never intended as a finished piece so no biggie.. it think its sapele, could be wrong though

Hi all, Sooner or later I was going to try this and so today seemed as good as any to start! As you can see I am attempting a celtic knot ( 'not' being very appropriate) I have about 15 bland Walnut blanks to try with, I am hoping that it won't take that many.... So all started well, with a 1mm...

of the bush thing i dug out of me mums garden,,

Still getting to grips with bowl turning this was from a piece of Elm.... Regards Padster

As part of a box of various woods I bought there was a 2x2x12" piece of Idigbo. And I found an old, very old, pack of Milliput, having seen others inlay bowls etc. with this thought I'd have a go at it. Practice piece really. As one can see from the photo the Milliput did not mix properly due to...

Wife bought me a Dremel for my birthday so had a quick play with it and knocked this up out of a piece of reclaimed teak. I guess it can be classed as a carving but not in the traditional sense!

I’m not overly fond of the plating on many kits so have any of you seen any stainless steel kits out there? I’m thinking of a one piece twist ballpoint but open to other suggestions.

Hi all, Another for today was this Delta in a piece of Phils Mauser birch.....

I am looking at making a vacuum chuck. There are not many made in this country and those that are are extremely expensive. I have a few ideas using bearings mounted in wood, long tubes etc.and, no doubt, the odd piece of string here and there. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences of...

Well at least the outside is near there had to give it a good soaking with sander sealer as some areas are a little soft. This is a rough turned piece donated by Frederick of this forum. I think I also inherited his camera skills(New computer so getting use to it). I just needed to turn something.

This is the first triple Celtic I have made. The hardest part was producing the walnut hexagon on a band saw. Then measuring it to get all six sides to within an acceptable tolerance. And of course holding it on the lathe to give a dead centre hole. I made a piece long enough to give me a...

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...
