:goesred:

I had some lovely blanks off Our Jim a while back he really produces some quality stuff

A Blue Ebonite Chrome plated TM Omega Fountain pen. This stuff sinks when turning

This was a nice project and my first attempt at making a Polymer cane. Great stuff to work with. U-Beaut EEE and a couple of mops to finish. Polymer clay & Maple bottle stopper - YouTube

Has anyone any experience of using flexible (rubber infused) CA? I understand it's supposed to be substantially stronger than regular ca and able to absorb shock. I've had a few can failures and wonder if this stuff would be better

My latest from the workshop. From top to bottom: Streamline using gilding flakes Zeta with Abalone shell Sirocco with Chiyogami paper Cigar with, um, watch parts. All blanks were made by me.

It was my wife's birthday a couple of days ago and she doesn't trust my present buying skills since I told her that I once bought my ex wife a tartan shopping bag for her birthday. So my new wife just orders stuff off amazon and I pay for it. However, I like to give her a surprise now and again...

I met a great guy at Coventry called Angus McDonald from Blair Athlon & after watching my demo we had a good natter. It turns out he's an RA vet the same as me & he was impressed as to how I've handled my blindness & am doing things for others. We swapped info & this morning I received a parcel...

Managed to blank some small Olive bits this afternoon. Some of the younger timber has gone very light, but still interesting. I think there may be a bit of waste from the stuff on the right though!:funny:

Hi All, Got some Poplar Burl from forum member Buga (Dario) from Croatia. Great guy to deal with. I stabilised a piece last week and today I wanted to see what this stuff looks like when turned. I am very happy with the results. I will get this turned into a pen one day. Poplar Burl - YouTube

The spalting wiped out the skin features as it turned down. Man that is tough stuff found a couple of normal blanks last night. I never give up on these love em. I thought I was well into my Spalted blanks but no many still to come including some rare as ones. Over time I have bought so many, so...

No, not for public executions, but for displaying stuff! Now need to dig out, or make more hanging stuff!:thinks:

Haven't bothered with fairs for years, but I've been asked to do a "Gifts for Christmas" fair in early November. Realised I didn't have any pocket money stuff so spent literally minutes on these!

Just ordered some silicone putty to try and make some block moulds for casting PE resin. Has anyone used this stuff and if so do you have any hints or tips,please.

Lidl are selling Digital calipers and angle finder today I have had both for a couple of years and found them both useful and accurate there are other stuff for the workshop too although I don't think the bench saw would be up to much :- POWERFIX Digital Caliper or Angle Finder - Thursday...

I have been saving red white & blue plastic swarf and I want it made into a pen blank without buying a lot of resin and seeing as I will probably only make a few blanks is this stuff any good Pebeo Gedeo Moulding Casting Resin Crystal Resin Clear Resin Kit Set Pebeo Gedeo Moulding Casting Resin...

I was looking for something in one of my cupboard when I came across this box. I could'nt remember putting it there, when I opened it I I found these. Then I remembered a long time ago the wife wanted to take up carving, so took her to Carbatec in Adelaide and bought these and other stuff. I...

I spent the day yesterday and Friday morning clearing whatever rubbish I could from the garage to make way for a new machine or just to be able to use the machine I already have. I cut up about 20 3m wide backgrounds into 3 and 4 pieces and made 2 trips to the dump with a volvo estate full of...

I broached the subject of buying a Mill and my wife said only if you get rid of one of the machines you already have. I told her my truth, if I had to get rid of a machine to get the mill then it would defeat the object, she didn't pick up on the "Object" and I didn't go any further with it, so...

I know but yet again another call can I go and pick up some wood more Oak, Tulip wood, walnut, and beech and it is all quite large stuff.
