bad

Went down me workshop to make another remembrance pen but when I made the last batch of segmented blanks I had a very bad reaction to the CA glue it effected my breathing big time and my eyes so I rushed the blanks and most of them in close inspection today were only fit for the bin so I wont be...

I was asked by a doctor if I wanted to be resuscitated if things went bad. It all started with my annual COPD review, that in itself I find a horrible test. Half way through the test I took ill, I remember the nurse saying something about a doctor, then four of them were in the room, Next thing...

I’m not sure what this timber is. My peepers are so bad I can’t tell what a lot of timbers are now.

Ireland 29 New Zealand All Blacks 20. Great result but bad for the heart watching.

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him. (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good).... A...

As the title, I have stepped away from the workshop for a short period due to some bad news on Sunday. after this, I may not post for a few days because of this. The bad news was that on Sunday evening my 96year old mum passed away, even though it was expected it did not make it any easier. I...

Hi all, Turned these over the last few days. The larger one, which I believe is Chesnut, had an inclusion in towards the centre, There were no outwardly visible signs but I think it adds someting to the design. Has a thicker stem as i believed the inclusion penatrated further. Not too bad for a...

Hi Not too bad for a beginner I am thinking. A lot of sanding was needed. The finish on the top of the bowl is liquid acrylic which I need more practice with. I ran out of spray. The ogee is not too bad but next time I would like to make it softer, slower and longer, if that makes sense...

People are often shocked when they find out how bad an electrician I am:face::face:

Sometime ago Derek gave me a Walnut bowl blank. This is what I did with it. Still a bit of a way to go yet, but not too bad. Cheers Frederick

I have read a lot of bad reviews regarding click pen kits and am interested in other peoples experiences making them, good or bad.

OK, this is where I left off on 4-2017 ''Monday morning I go in for an angioplasty and possibly another stent. Tuesday or Thursday they'll install a Defibrillator. Then maybe I'll work up the courage for at least the knee replacement.'' KEEP IN MIND THAT I RARELY WENT TO THE DOCTOR'S, SO I...

Hi all.....as per the title I made me a real bad ass pen! Well it an all black Sirocco actually with a cast image, I have a few steampunk ones to go with this....

Browsing through some of last years Canada photos and this one reminded me just how desperately I wanted this big bad boy. Was a good 3 ft across on what I think was a maple.

First pen finally produced!! A few silly mistakes but don't think it's turned out to bad!!!

Hi all....a comission for a pen....can it be snappy.....well here you go Alligator jaw bone and resin....i did two (both ends of the blank) i chose to turn the better end second so i had a little practise.....turned very well with carbide tools but it stunk so bad drilling...

Hello, I used a 3 cm broad semi rough cut file to remove the last millimeter on my pens. Using the file I got the blank straight and better control of the removal of the material. Then I used 220 sandpaper and removed the rough texture, 400, 600 and then CA. Then 600, 1500 --> 12000 and then...

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:
