Do any of you sand the square edges off your pen blanks before you turn them on the lathe ?

How do you all sharpen the cutting part on the pen mill? The thing you use to get the ends of the blanks square.

I thought I would have a go at turning a square dish. It's not quite even though, but for a first effort it's not too bad. The wood is Elm which I find difficult to work at times. It was very dry as it has been kicking around for a while. More practising tomorrow and looking forward to...

Hi The square experiment got a bit larger. With Powertex string this time to add texture to the middle. This will mount on a wall or in my case on the fence outside... Kevin :banana:

I bought online a really nice carbide square tool the other day for about £27 with postage. And looking online they also go up to the £100ish. I’m awful at sharpening chisels so find swapping the heads on the tool better. But then I took a look and thought ‘I could make that’ After all I can...

Hi, and Happy New Year to all! I have finally got round to getting some kit for pen turning. I went for the Axminster Precision Pro lathe in the end which looks to be a nice setup. I know it is limited in terms of size but for the foreseeable future I am focusing only on pens. One of the...

Not anything finished. But what would you say if this turned up as a Birthday present. The slabs it is sitting on are 18" square yew and holly and with the promise of more different woods

Well this is why I have not started any posts lately I have been busy one of my model adventures. All the wood cut out and then the parts cut out using templates. And today first on the list was set up a dust extractor for the bandsaw which arrived first thing this morning. Then it was time...

I use a barrel trimmer for my 7 mm slimlines and am going to be ordering other kits so don't know the best way to square kits with different bores. So just wondering how you guys do it. Thanks in advance.

I found a really interesting carbide insert here: CTD-L Carbide Teardrop Cutter, 1 3/4" x 3/4 x 1/8" - AZ Carbide I bought one, and now need a square shaft and handle to mount it on for use. It would need to be flat to the square section shaft, but inset so the cutting edge is level with the...

Hi All, I cut this from 32mm square Maple. Still some errors but I think I am improving.

Has anyone turned a Wonder Window blank? How exactly did you do it? The instructions say to turn it "roundish" so you can see where to cut and drill it. But it's rectangular, not square, so it won't center in a chuck. Maybe a spur drive with a spring loaded point? Exotic Blanks :: Guest...

Thought it was time to advance a little more and try something new. So after making a little firewood (which is my normal thing) came up with these two. As per norm the photos are crappy. 5"square by 1 3/4" deep Elm burr 4" square by 2" deep This could be another piece of Elm Photos dont...

While I decide on what effect to add to the flower creation I am working on I thought I would start something and post it here when finished it will come under the heading of "Other Things We Turn Or Make". I will not say what it is lets see as I progress who can see what it is, today I started...

Has anyone got an address of any UK companies that supply replacement square carbide tips please:thumbs:

I haven't turned a slimline pen in over ten years, and rarely turn 7mm pens these days. But I have a friend who prefers slimmer pens, and I had a 5/8" square blank. I decided on a Trimline kit, because I like the fatter waist. I have no idea what blank this is. It's nice looking, whatever it is.
