    Had a blow out

    Just finishing, with one last turn and Bang. Hadnt happened for years..... so I'm putting it down to a crack and not me! I had to turn the cap off and lucky enough I had just enough Desert Ironwood to do the cap with cap ends of Acacia. Majestic Jnr. kit.

    Lucky lad

    I’ve used woodworking machinery all my working life & always give the machines my full attention & respect. This photo was taken a few years ago & I’ve just turned it up. I was cutting timber on the circular saw & was distracted for a second by something going on in the workshop when BANG, my...

    RNLI fund raiser

    Hi all, those that saw the Maunsel sea Fort pens I put together (Bammer cast the bodies, Davee Gee the caps, Scott Walker the boxes...

    WOW

    Because the half track I built had some turning involved in the making of it I posted a picture on the WOW site and was lucky enough to have it selected for the cover photo of the day.

    acrylic

    Has anybody purchase a box of these 5kg Box European Pen Blank Offcuts - Special Offers Are they value for money or too short to use for much- I am hoping to use them on single tube pens, unless I get lucky and there are any pieces that I can squeeze 2 out of.

    Flawed Marketing Strategy

    Received this email today - some scammer on the face of it trying to persuade me to use their web design services. I get emails like this every day, but this one goes the extra mile. Read down to the post script. Lucky he pointed it out - that's all the re-assurance I needed.:funny:

    Lucky break

    Shortly before lunch I was minding my own and finishing a pen when there was an almighty implosion and the plastic tub base of my home made in line seperator burst in. I had used this for years. Called it a lucky break the fine dust and shavings were intact. Quite unexpected my wife rushed in to...
