attempt

I was pleased with the result, my first attempt at stabilising, once done the bits sank in water so I got good penetration.

Hi I am trying to perfect and develop this Powertex meets Woodturning... This is my latest attempt... another T-shirt bites the dust and becomes texture :funny: Kevin :banana:

Hi I have been practicing Pyrography as well as turning. Here is my first attempt.. at adding Pyrography to a platter made from Poplar. Kevin :banana:

My first attempt at a matching pen and key ring.

I don't think God was penturner otherwise he would not have invented Burr Elm. This stuff is a nightmare if not stabilised.:sob: This is my third attempt at this pen, but fun none the less. Cheers Frederick

Colin (Gadget-UK) was kind enough to send me one of his pine cone blanks and an Zephyr kit. Much appreciated Colin, very kind of you. Here is my first attempt at a Zephyr and my first attempt at a pine cone blank. The Zephyr is a very nice kit and I shall be purchasing some from Phil very...

The Zephyr from Beaufort is a great quality kit. This is my first attempt at Mosaic pins and not my last. They are a nice way to add a pattern to a pen tube. I first came across Mosaic pins when I watched a video on knife making and the pins are used in the handles. I have learnt a lot from...

Well despite a hectic weekend I did manage to cast my first blanks. I used translucent tinting pigment from easy composites, will try the powder colouring next attempt. Quite happy but will have to see how it turns later in the week.

This is my first attempt at a fountain pen it turned out really nice. It's a Leveche.

After some issue with my lathe, i purchased a new one from Axminster with much better results. Despite breaking 4 blanks, down to trying new techniques and some cases poor wood (don't practice on timber with knots!). I turned my first 2 pens. The first one was too slim at the end, i...

Had to wait my turn today for the lathe, and was only allowed to help when needed (which wasn't much!)

Managed to get in shed for first time in a while, blank was very bland all way through but at least the finish is better than my last attempt! !! This is a fancy slimline pencil.

Hi, I am new to pen turning although I have had my lathe for about 9 years. I bought it a long time ago set it up in my garage then the daily grind of work took over & I never got chance to use it much. During the last year I got the bug.....started with a few bowls now got into Pen Turning &...

It’s that time again and this month we are supposed to make and take a platter.. for critique. (Are you Bill Mooney going tomorrow?) So here is my 2nd ever attempt at such a thing.. Online critique welcome... depending on that I might just go to the pub. Kevin:banana:

this is the second attempt at decorating with the airbrush and having brought my new one which is a better quality I needed something to have a good go at. Anyway this is my attempt at Industrial piece do you think I should follow through with this theme. The bowl I believe is Maple of...

Managed to turn this flowery postage stamp pen today, from a blank that Jackie had decorated & cast a month or so ago, not bad for a first attempt if I may say so myself :wink:

My second attempt at fly in resin bowl quite pleased with this one no bubbles

Epoxy resin have a few bubbles first attempt hope next one will be better

Pleased with this as first attempt
