    Saved from the skip

    I salvaged a number of old kitchen cupboard doors destined for the skip a few months ago and hung on to them wondering if they could be used somewhere, finally got fed up falling over them and moving from place to place so cut them up. They were well past their sell by date and unfortunately the...

    Blingless Roman Harvest in Olive

    Just completed a "blingless" gold Roman Harvest in Olive. Olive is finished using Melamine and polished with wax. I had some offcuts of blue resin from a TM Zeta pen and decided to have a go at making centre bands, cabochoun etc. Really pleased with my first attempt. Managed to find bushes in my...

    I have an idea for a turned piece which will require holes to be drilled around the stand eventually to have something put into them. Up until now I have managed to to get away with using a spanner on the nut behind the chuck and resting it on the bed, this allowed for either 2, 3or 6 holes to...

    Here is another pen adorned with pyrography, this time without the dreaded centre band. I think it is an improvement. regards George

    Pefume atomizer

    At first I really didn't like these things but then as my experience grew (only a little) I realised I could discard some of the bits I didn't like. So far I am quite happy with the results however, I still need to do something about that centre band. Simon
