rest

I hit post by mistake. Here's the rest of the photos.

Hi. Time for another odd question ? I may have mentioned before that I have i nflammatory arthritis... And so have dodgy hands and odd lumps and bumps! And unique ways of holding my tools (or is that just because I'm left handed?!) :whistling: I wanted to ask if anyone knew of a tool rest...

The rest of what I did this weekend once I found things

Been asked by my sister for a footstool with storage so I got on with the legs. Not perfect match but close enough, I should imagine that with practice I could get things like this a little close as i am so use to doing one off's. Now to make the rest of it I have already prepared the wood for...

I had this idea for a desk pen and holder for a while. Turned, carved and burned, the wood is lime with a melamine finish. My wife says it is either great or hideous, but she hasn't made her mind up yet. I would what the rest of you think? The pen is a shade under 10 inches long. Thanks for...

Came across this youtube video, it has many special features like steel toe cap flip flops, or were they just toes. There the QD tool rest, the gouges are not quite to Robert Sorby's standard. I did hear the turner in the video applied to be Superman once as well. It is plain kin SCARY!!!

I've been having a few turning issues recently and it's more noticeable with fine work like pen making. I thought it was me then realised that the problem is with the tool rest. My tools are sticking too it slightly as it seems to be magnetised. I have another tool rest and that's fine...but...

Decided I didn't like the eyes so I've changed them. I think it's better.

Bought it in Kentucky ten to twenty years ago. Kicked my simple open box light box around to accommodate larger items, working out Well (pun intended ) the Ink well 80 yrs old made of Australian Mulga. The knob of Grape Vine Root from Pierre in France. The more I turn of unstabilised Spalted...

No where on the floor for the small vac, it will fit behind the lathe when I clean up(just finished making this unit. I used high pressure water pipe fittings). Drilled and tapped two 6mm threads in the tool rest holder. (not much width to work with). The idea is the extractor moves with the...

Our Pen Swap O Guage enthusiast Pen Rest. Peter.

Here are the remainder of what was turned this weekend. Fist another Omega, in False Acacia: And then a Euro style ball point in Oak. And another Omega in Yew: The rest of the weekend was spent drilling blanks and painting tubes for some acrylic work in the future..

The rest of the batch. 1. Americana RB (I think), the one with the ink cartridge. Looks big in the photo but it's tiny. Looks like a poor finish but just a fault mark in the wood. 2. Cigar in spalted hawthorn taken from my hedge / trees when I cleared them last summer. 3. Euro in ? 4. Knurl g/m...

Had a busy morning started making the 100 pens for our Veterans in Corian so thats 22 down the rest will be in wood including some of Terry Q serpent blanks
