    Not a dragon pen

    Finished the one and only pen I will make with this stuff. It just doesn't work.. Quite like this one though. Got a same but different one coming, hopefully it will be better

    Spanish Olive

    Hi all, Two of Phils Sirocco's dressed also in his Spanish Olive, I must say it turned very easy and quickly but I think that was due to Olive being quite oily/moist.... Not like the dry dusty stuff I have been turning of late.... Still, looks nice with good grain

    On the new lathe...

    First attempt at something smaller on my new lathe rather than the Proxxon mini I had been using for this type of stuff, in case you can't guessed pocket penlight made with Acrylic. Regards Padster

    Anyone else on iPadOS 15? It seems to have a lot of new stuff but I’m not sure if I’ll use some of the new features much?

    A present!

    We received a present today. A friend of mine from a bit further up North turns wood despite being registered as blind. He makes stuff and fundraises for a brilliant charity Blind Veterans UK - Rebuilding Lives After Sight Loss Thank you Bill Mooney!

    Photo's

    Where do you all store your photo's? I only ask because I'm nosey. Oh and another reason is that I have just spent a few hours uploading all of mine to Amazon photo's.

    Hi!

    Hi from wet, cold miserable Cornwall. I've just started turning pens after many years of woodturning and other woodworking, and I'm looking for advice on turning stuff a little out of the ordinary ............. before I screw up too many blanks.

    Yesterdays Project

    I know you can buy acrylic pen stands but when you have the means & materials to make them yourself then it's more fun. Only thing I didn't have was an acrylic bender, just wanted something basic & a quick check on youtube sorted one out for me. Turned out I had everything I needed ut the...

    I wasn’t sure whether to put this in the wood or acrylic section. I’ve been playing with the Cholla again. I really like the look of this stuff.
