I had an idea for a bit of decoration so went to the turning shed and selected the plainest Sycamore blank I could find. A few cuts later and it didn't look so plain after all! 10 1/2" x 3 1/2" Horse Chestnut. 8 1/2" x 4 3/4" finished in Danish oil. This was very punky and tore out with any...

Took a chance with these Click Pens from a small Family Business in England. PROKRAFT. Jon is fantastic to deal with and so willing to help,he deserves people to buy from him. The pens are slimline with a click mechanism and in my view one of the best. The ones I have are gold but Jon is...

Finished at last. I did not keep a record of hours but have enjoyed the journey in making it, all I know is that there were a lot of parts.

Hi all I am Barry new to pens but not to turning . Going to give it a good go I know There is a lot to learn . Finishing will my biggest challenge I think . All have good day keep the bevel rubbing.

I answered an article on another website about some offcuts of Black American walnut....for free!!. Well i went along to see this wood and it turning out he is a bespoke carpenter making all sorts of things. It also turned out he was in the process of moving and he want to get shot of a lot of...

Today my wife and i celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary, still hope that we can add a lot of years more. :love_it:

Hi all My name is Chris.i have not got a lathe yet but I will be getting one as soon as I have put up a shead I've got a lot of work to do before the shead will go up. I'm 54years old and I have turned before about 34 years ago every thing I made I sold to the alternative and technology in...

Hi all, Do'nt have much time for turning and posting something. Since the weather was very kind since 2 weeks, the last days where very busy with gardening and painting outside the house. Still a lot of work to achieve before i can go back to my workshop :rolling: Have a nice Eastern everybody !

I'd forgotten what a bugger palm wood was to turn. I lost the first one and salvaged this by using a lot of ca and aluminium fines.

Hi everyone. I have made a lot of different kits over the 18 months that I've been turning but probably a lot more that i haven't tried. Some are excellent and of course some fall in the other end of the spectrum. What i'm asking is what is your favourite kit in each category. you can copy and...

First time I have used the new Bosch Pillar drill to drill out the blanks. I have to say it was a lot easier than when I did it on the lathe, so I'm a happy camper now :-)

The daughter decided that at twenty years of age she wanted a dolls house and daddy had to make it. Still a lot of finishing work to do yet!

A good mate has for years had an old stool in his engineering workshop which he uses rather than kneeling down when working on his projects. Recently he had been doing quite a lot of work on his aging Range Rover to ensure it passed its MOT, unfortunately in his eagerness to get to the MOT...

Made up the last of my 308 bullet pens today made using military ply and two in plastic they are all going to horseback and this is my lot for 2016

This is one of Jim's mixed material blanks. Shame on me for forgetting to color the blank. It would have looked a lot better.

Here's the long awaited Bitza pen, Eamonn kindly supplied the plastic thingy. The cases came from Peter mate. The pen was salvage from a snake wood blank that did what snake wood does.:vangry: After a lot of swearing and cursing, a lot of changes of plan as things went wrong here it tis.

First pen made with my first batch of blanks using Pearl-Ex powders. In fairness to the blank it does show a lot more pearlescence in real life. The cap band was made from a scrap piece of TB's Pearl Opal blank that I destroyed on the lathe a couple of years back...moral 'don't throw yer bits away'.

Yet another one in white. it seems i have a lot of bits to use up. (hate waste)

Are there any tips or tricks to getting them to run a bit more concentric? For most cases just cleaning up the foot of a bowl it doesn't matter too much if it's running a bit off centre but sometimes it would be nice if things ran a bit better. I suppose it's asking a lot given the feet are...
