great

For me!...... After my escapades of having difficulty of turning pens due to numbness in the hands and not being able to feel the transitions between bushes and blank, so I had a chat with our Bill Mooney. Now he is one to inspire many due to his limited abilities, but he gave me some great...

Hi all, in all these austere times it's great to see someone is still producing great "paper" products, yes they do the interweb thingy but a good old fashioned catalogue.... Fantastic service too, with some great wood, stabalised in house if needed... Resin too...

A quick quadruple of lipstick pens made tonight. Great stocking filler for Xmas.

It normally takes me about one and half hours to get to Yandles but thanks to road works and lots of Holiday traffic over three hours yesterday. Took that long I had to wait until today to set my new lathe up. All done now and a lot dirtier than in the photo. First impressions are that this is...

Hi all, I thought I'd just share this with you all, I recently purchased these from a fellow Turner in the US, she has a few more which I could be tempted with!!! These should make great pens

Derek gifted me an Elm blank which I am trying to turn into a potpourri bowl. Not finished yer as I have had to secure some cracks and waiting for the adhesive to cure. But this is what it looks like at the moment. I think it Elm.....has a great figure. Cheers Frederick

With much less golf possible this year I wondered if I should get a cycle ( yeah I know all about keeping death off the roads :wink:) so my flabber was truly gasted when my neighbour offered me this last week. A Dawes Nomad all terrain fully 40 years old but virtually as it came out of the...

This was a fantastic pattern to cut of the great John Wayne. I have used Cedar for the pattern and Yew for the frame. Cedar is a fantastic wood to cut and smells great. This was cut with a Hegner and Olson 2/0r blade. I just need to add a few coats of Danish oil and John will be ready for the...

Happy birthday Mark. Have a great day. Dave

Hi all, Four nice wet blanks that I cut today. Going to wet turn them this afternoon, put them in a bag with shavings and leave for a while. Hopefully they will turn out ok as, I think, the grain looks great. I think they're Oak, but not too sure. I though Corona was a drink ...... Cheers...

Hi everyone, Just joined yesterday and popping by to say hello to you all. No doubt be asking a few questions if I can’t find out on FAQ’s, I’ve read a lot of threads already and there is some great stuff on here. Be gentle with me if I ask the obvious! :thumbs:

Hi all, Another great quality kit from Beaufort. Leveche fountain pen in Rose gold. I wrapped it in Alumilite resin. Used Blue dye with a tiny bit of white to get the right shade. Plus this gives the blue a solid look. Very enjoyable project and a great kit to put together. Leveche fountain...

Hi All, This was going to be for a Rollester pen kit but I decided not to fit the parts. The wood was pretty punky and I didn't do a great job of filling. I wanted to see how this lovely Maple looked with a finish, so I completed the process. Maple burl pen blank - YouTube

Well it seems label casting isn’t the black art people make it out to be. I have cast my first labels this week and had great success. A lot of faffing about getting the sizing right. But I think they look great. Even sold one already.

Wood turned Attached with Proxxon and Saburrtooth donut wheel cutter Painted using acrylic paints A little pyrography End result... Great fun kevin :banana:
