turned

Nowt absolutely nowt went right today in the workshop I even made a mess of sharpening my gouge :sob: so I turned a pen just to prove to myself it's not all my fault... comments and thoughts are welcome... I can take it the wine is getting opened? Kevin

I have just turned my first batch of Epsilons. I like the pen, and they were nice and quick to complete, so have potential to make a profit. I turned them well, even if I say so myself. They were exactly to component size and the ends were perfectly square. On assembly, I have had a couple of...

Hi all two modified slimlines....308 bullet cases fitted to spectraply bodies turned to look like.308 cases

A mini pine cones blank on a Shakespeare rollerball. I wasn't sure what to expect from this but think it turned out well enough.

Bowl from unknown wood possibly hawthorn I turned this yesterday but had to wait until today to complete the finish and remove the foot. Measures 8 1/2" X 2 1/4", I left the rim wide otherwise I would have lost a lot of the character of the wood even if I turned the blank the other way round

Walnut bowl approximately 11" sealed and buffed. This was from a trunk that I got last year and rough turned which means I was able to complete turning sooner rather than later

Just popping in to say hi from Ireland. Been turning for a good few years, began in '93. Been away from it for a few years and have taken up the chisels again a few months ago. Things have changed a lots in a few years! Turned my 1st pen around '97/'98 but haven't turned many over the years...

One of the latest bowls i've turned a few days ago. 30 cm dia and 8 cm high. Finished with foodsafe oil.

Hi All, Had a couple of chips on this turning so I turned to the Milliput to help out. Rollester Pen Kit - YouTube

I've also turned this Tempest but this time in a classic green acrylic.

One dyed, one not. I've said it before, but I do like the way features appear as they are turned!

So the less than colourful dyed driftwood blank was draped over my first Shakespeare. Love the kit, and pretty pleased with the match to the blank, a happy accident :thumbs:. A small hole appeared as I turned the barrel, which I filled with aluminium.

I turned the Aqua one round today to show a little more wood ..

Last night I got round to turning my first pen in over 3 months! It's just a slimline pen turned from one of my own cast coffee bean blanks which was left over from my last coffee bean casting experiment.

Picked this up on a beach in Wales, then stabilised. No idea what it is but it was really nice to watch it appear as I turned it!

This weeks Pen of the Week chosen by Fingwe goes to the Mistral Ball Point pen made by DJB Penmaker (Derek) Melanie said "It was a hard choice, but this one edged it for me. It looks flawlessly turned and finished, and the blank and kit go perfectly together". Here is the link to Derek's...

Just tried my hand at home stabilising. This was a test piece which was a scrap bit of spalted beech, which was really quite punky. Well, I was very pleased withe the stabilising and the way it turned. I finished it using the Melamine method, and tuned it into a Zeta. Overall, for a process...

Hi all, I cast some polyester blanks which turned ugly. I ended up with two halves and made a whole with four colours. While all a bit of an accident I think there is potential in this technique. I sanded the halves, CA glued together, and turned/polished. A few defects .... small crack, tiny...

... Only 34 to go!:funny: Luckily the brief for these Honey dippers is that they are all individuals, so no template and all turned freestyle! This one was Ali's idea!

...Turned as a streamline. Turkey Oak sapwood with Melamine finish.
