back

Was given a log of plum turned wet left to dry for 2 months finished sanding sealer and wax, Stands 18inches high then gave it back to the lady that gave it to me I think she liked it following day I got a bottle of red wine hig:drunked::drunked:

Second lady figure which I feel is better than the first this time she looks more elagant from Yew and stands 8 1/2" tall. I spotted the two knots in the wood which were at the wrong height so made sure these are at the back as it would have been embarressing if I had positioned them eslewhere...

I have been asked to make a lady figure from some yew and not having ever done one before thought I would do a quick practice, even then I have taken it right through to the finish. Body is Ash and the hat is Laburnum it stands 6b 1/4" tall and 2" at its widest point. Finished with sander...

I’ve been scratching my head on how to best cut a cable hole/slot in the back of this unit on my boat. It’s underneath the gunwale and there’s a 6in height gap and 4.5in to the back of the unit under the gunwale. I was thinking an angle drill with a hole saw to fit one of those desk type cable...

After my success of turning Toni Ransfield’s beautiful polymer/acrylic blanks I asked Scott, Mr Blanks, if he could cast my other 2 set of Toni’s blanks in acrylic so I could turn my signature shape. These he gladly did F.O.C. & sent them back with a nice little packet of sweets for good...

Another African Blackwood heat sensitive. The wood changed from black to this colour after being in my pocket for about 5min. There is a choice of 6 colours it could change into depending on how long the heat is applied. When the pen cools down it goes back to black. Glen

They called a risky one, suffered an event under anasthesia so they kept me for several hours more doing checks and balances. Some internal 3 D pics showed severe burning from my 39 visits for Radiation to kill cancer a couple of years ago. No such thing as a free lunch. Not supposed to drive...

So after weeks of the workshop being full of stuff from the house due to rooms being redone in there... I have today managed to get my Workshop back... Now where was I on learning Woodturning??? Kevin

Due to health reasons haven't posted or visited for quite a while. Health is now reasonable and it's time to get back into life and turning. Just before my latest bout of illness I started building a small workshop in the back garden and treated myself to a new Axminster Lathe. The Lathe...

Well the Tempest pen I turned has kick started me back in the shed and now in full swing and back onto the nut crackers have spent the last couple of days either painting or starting the glue up still need to paint the faces apply a top coat before adding some of the trim. So this is as far as I...

Took some slats of reclaimed Rubber wood that came from a bread bin, and some de-nailed pallet wood and turned them back into trees!:funny:

It was good to get back on the scroll saw. Scroll saw Johnny Cash - YouTube

Hi guys and gals. I'm new here and a novice at pen turning although I'm a qualified antique restorer with an HND in antique restoration. Have only ever turned a couple of small finials when I was at college many years back. Brought myself an Axminister Precision Pro Lathe and their hobby...

Vic was kind enough to give me some lovely blanks when we met a few months back, and I set about making a Mistral with a nice purple acrylic (or polyester?) one. That blew out on the nib barrel :sob: So I cleaned up the tubes and dressed them in another beautiful blue blank, only to have that...

Had a commision for a pair of Mistrals , a fountain and biro. Both dressed in "Emerald Dream" blanks from Sawes (Scott Walker). Great service from Scott in getting another blank to me quickly after I over-tightend the chuck and cracked it while setting up to drill!!!!! Really appreciated as...

First ever Jnr Gent. Back on deck again in the workshop. Peter.
