bit

Made a bit of fruit for last weeks elm bowl

Hi all, My wildlife series is slowly expanding, first there was the Giraffe pen and now the Zebra has made an appearance, these two herbivores seem to be happy together but I’m a bit concerned as they will soon be joined by a Tiger pen. Hopefully no blood will be spilt when the meeting occurs...

Hope everyone is keeping well. Thought I would have a go at mixed medium and building a clip. Quite happy with the results though gluing the clip was a bit messy....

When I bought my last Hercus lathe, this came with all the bits and pieces. Does any one know what it is? This bit slides back and forth.

A hybrid burr elm and polyester resin blank on a gold and ti Zeta. Blank cast by Brad Herrington. A bit too Barbara Cartland for me but someone will love it.

Had a go with some kitchen worktop offcut, Mistral solid surface ( like Corian ). this material is 25mm thick so main box is 3 layers glued together and a separate bit for the lid plus a small bit glued on for the finial. Box is approx 120 mm high x 100 mm dia and I'm pleased with it as the...

These were started for two different projects earlier this year before I started having eye floater issues. I was happy to get back and actually finish the pen. A bit rusty with tool control, but worked out OK. Comments, critique and beatings all welcomed.

Hi I haven't posted in a while but I have been keeping busy. I had a spat were I sold quite a bit of stuff then it died a death. It got to the point where it was actually costing me money to make pens. People just did not want to pay the money for them. So I stopped making pens. Any way Xmas is...

Hi all, Well 10 years ago, I was happy to let this one go!! Just got to stick a new refill in and a bit of polish:whistling::whistling: Well it was one of my first ones, I think I may have improved a bit....I hope

Hello, New member I’m based in South Wales and have been tiring for about 4yrs...do a bit of everything but enjoy trying new things!! And of course buying new tools and toys! Myles

Tried a quick search but to be honest I am not great with forum searches lol, I know I have seen Aluminium pens on the forum so just wondering how people finish them, I decided to experiment making an acrylic pen with a picture, thinking the brass tubes were a little thin & wanting the picture...

I just got an email with this in is, I wish I could attend but its a bit far for me!! But 1 third off the price is excellent value for money!! Fine box making in the Shropshire Hills newsletter, October 2019

Hi ,Just wondering what everyone does with their finished pens ,Keep ,Sell ,Give away? ,I’m still new to pen making but people seem to want to buy them ,Guess I’m a bit worried about selling and then it breaking on someone ,Uou never know how they get treated when gone to someone else ,Thanks

Hi all, just a quick Sirroco made with a piece of Oak from the Robert Thompson workshops, famously known as 'The mouse man of Kilburn'. I cut it at an angle to give a bit of character, which I hope it does and finished with a few coats of melamine

Sometime ago Derek gave me a Walnut bowl blank. This is what I did with it. Still a bit of a way to go yet, but not too bad. Cheers Frederick

Having a bit of fun with a Beaufort Sirocco

A bit of random piercing, and pyro texturing, and tinting, on a very boring bit of Silver Birch. 8" x 3" approx.

I like to mix it up a bit.. so I thought I would try some serious texturing using Powertex This might get me drummed out of the club.. Lol Kevin :banana:

I haven't posted a pen in ages as I don't make that many but, I bought some cheap dice off fleabay for a clock project and deemed them too small for what I wanted. So, my wife casually said "make a pen out of them" which got me thinking. Not a lot of turning mind you but I did have to shorten...

If you look really carefully you can see these blanks moved a little bit before they were thoroughly dry! :ciggrin:
