turned

I wanted a small lidded box but a catch put an end to that. So it turned into a small holder for the clock insert. Time - YouTube

Turned this one yesterday, my first turned with proper woodturning chisels - I've been using those carbide tipped thingies up until now. Bought a Sorby Pro Edge and now I can properly sharpen chisels, so the carbide tools are consigned to the drawer. Anyway, here's the first pen turned, an...

Hi everyone, here is my latest batch of dip pens, all made from hand cast polyurethane resin. The first two are turned, the second two are hand carved (well, power tool carved) ergonomic holders. This first one is the first straight penholder I've made, an order for a customer. Turned...

Thanks to johnny5 for giving me details for this wood. My pens seem to have turned out quite light in colour.:love_it: Glen

My pair of matching Mistrals, fountain pen and roller-ball dressed in Conway Stewart Bracket Brown. I was really "brickin-it" when preparing/turning/finishing/assembling, and all for no reason because they turned out ok in the end I think :rolling: The quality of the kit is, as expected...

As I'm new to the forum I thought I'd post a picture or two of some of the pens I've turned over the past 12 months or so. This was the first pen I turned in Bubinga (I think)- my wife collared it immediately! Then I made these in Rosewood and Bubinga:

Hi All, Got some Poplar Burl from forum member Buga (Dario) from Croatia. Great guy to deal with. I stabilised a piece last week and today I wanted to see what this stuff looks like when turned. I am very happy with the results. I will get this turned into a pen one day. Poplar Burl - YouTube

My first Dragon pen. After all the problems I've had this week I am happy this turned out OK.

Drilled on the new drill press, and turned using sharp chisels (on my new sharpener). Turned a treat. Very happy with this pen.

Is there sucha thing? Yes there is. To follow on the last kitless request and wanting to know how to make one. This is a pen done today of a "simple kitless" yes, basically all it is is a piece of acrylic, drilled out and tapped, then turned down and threaded. Turned using a pin chuck made...

As many know I make toys and also the occasional Intarsia work as well as the turning. Anyway I had some gift cards for Axminster for a present so yesterday about 2 pm I ordered a little toy to add to the workshop I asked for it to be sent standard delivery so did not expect it until the new...

Hi everyone, I'm new here and just though that I'd post a photo of my first ever batch of turned pens. They were all turned over the last 2 days as last minute Christmas presents! Hope you like them, Melanie
