I picked up a couple of fans from a decommissioned piece of equipment at work, when I got home I saw they were 24v not 12v.:vangry: Couple of weeks later I rescued this. The plan for the fans are to cut a hole in the back of both my mill and lathe where the circuit boards are and use the...

These Artisan Cigars are spalted Maple and Maple burr. Both are stabilized. The burr was stabilized with black dyed Cactus Juice. 4 coats of thin ca sanded back and buffed.

Here are a couple of Art Deco twist action pens made using Alternative Tortoise shell and Alternative Ivory

Hi to you all on here, I've just stumbled across this forum and just spent the past couple of hours in fascination thumbing through some of the threads on here. Wow! I've done bits of turning (as a hobby) on and off (mostly off) since the mid 80's. A couple of years back I began to take an...

Last weekend i had a couple of days back in the shed making pens, the past few months i visited the place made a few blanks and just sat in there until i got hungry, which was only a few hours .. :goesred: Anyway i thought it was about time i started placing some kits onto the blanks i made...

Not been doing much for the last couple of weeks as I have been laid up with Gout :sob: Managed to get this finished over the last couple of days. 10" diam Spalted Sycamore finished with Danish Oil and Microcrystaline wax.

I've finally found a bit of time (and courage) to make up a couple of Mistrals. One was part of my prize from the December competition - thanks Phil! Both in self cast polyurethane resin. I know they're probably a bit on the girly side for most of you macho guys, but almost all of my...

We are being plagued by queen wasps looking for a nest site. We usual see a few each spring but this year we seem to have a frightening amount. Killed about 50 of the blighters in the last couple of weeks. Anybody else notice the increase or is it just us.:thinks: George

Saturday the weather took a break from rain and I was able to pick up my new planer. Powermatic 15HH. I have been wanting to upgrade for a couple of years. An awesome machine, 3hp helical head with carbide cutters. Can't believe how quiet it is. Selling pen blanks is finally paying off.

Morning all, Took delivery of my new air cleaner on Friday, cleared a shelf yesterday and got it mounted, my wife could dry her hair with this thing on high speed, love it. Tested the timer yesterday while we went out for a lunch and a couple of jars, came back and found the blighter still...

I just love this kit! Had a bad time with a couple of slimlines and was relieved to make a better job of this. Thanks to Vic for the lovely blank :thumbs:

Graham_C called in to see me today. Nice to put a face to a name and a great chat for a couple of hours :thumbs:

Thought I would try inlaying some Maple veneer to see the effect. All 3 are stabilized Spectra-ply. Stabilizing helps holds the plys together while turning plus the added weight allows them to spin longer. My favorite is the first with the 3rd a close second. The 3rd top has some further...

Our Jim is a right old meanie. Well everyone knows he is, don't they? :devil: But why? I hear you ask.:thinks: I wanted to buy his drum sander but he wouldn't sell - eh? - could've bought many many pints of beer with the procedes so. after a couple of days crying my eyes out :sob: i decided i...

A few months back, I bought a Boley metalworking lathe- 1930/40s vintage at a guess. Aside from a couple of grub screws, a chuck key and couple of other minot bits, it is about set up, and these parts are on their way. I also have ordered some hss blanks to grind tooling.. I have never used a...

Well for me the year starts today as I have just completed all the jobs from last year. Been out in the wood store and pulled out some bits and pieces and brought them into the house to do some final drying as they are things like boxes. I also picked out a couple of blanks for some pens. Just...

Hi all as the title suggests....does anyone know who stocks these in the UK please i would like a couple of fountain pens...preferably in gold plate finish, Happy new year to one and all....:wink:

I have had a couple of Sierras that I gave as presents last year returned to me where the mechanism seems to have sheared off any one have this problem

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...

A couple of Dan's Jr Gents one in Cocobolo the other in Zebrano
