cut

This morning I took these pics to show this tool holder to enable the use of a Dremel and various disks ,the one fitted Is A Diamond to cut some real tough stuff. The Dremel is just sitting in the holder not firmed up it mounts on dead centre. I cut grooves for spring clips,cut brass tubes etc...

This is another of my multi tool pens, its nothing special however I do trade in antiques and offten find vintage tables and chairs with damage or of little value and the pen was made from blanks cut from a 120 year old oak table. Finished with CA glue as I find it very durable and it has a high...

Thought I would have a try at making some tipped tools this is the first 3, I have tried them and they cut really well but are much more aggressive than my other tools after a few digs I have found I need to be more gentle when starting a cut. I am going to try and make some swan necks next.

This slimline pen is dressed in xcut pitch pine. The blanks look like long grain but are in fact short grain. I cut several slices from the 3”x3”post, cut them into blanks then took two pieces from different slices & married them up in mirror image. I got enough for six pens with the grain in...

Thought I would take a break from the waggon and make a router jig to use on the lathe as I have a few ideas that I want to try. Managed to cut a few parts ready for it as well as a bed for it to run on. Still some cut outs to make before assembly comences

Hello all, It’s been awhile since I last posted a picture of one of My pens, so I thought I’d show this Omega FP dressed in cross cut Zebrano. I had to keep stopping to soak the blanks in thin ca to stop any possibility of explosion, it worked, this time, I got away with it. It is finished using...

Well this is why I have not started any posts lately I have been busy one of my model adventures. All the wood cut out and then the parts cut out using templates. And today first on the list was set up a dust extractor for the bandsaw which arrived first thing this morning. Then it was time...

last week I posted a question about x cut zebrano and Peter asked to see some of my efforts. Well here we have a gold tempest in x cut zebrano. Hope you like Andy

As you can see it’s still on the lathe... It was the most unassuming little off cut.... then this appeared...

Does anyone know of a supplier of cross cut zebrano blanks. Have been making some kits with this timber and my supply has now run out. Needing some more for a couple of commissions.

A chrome Omega pen dressed in Chestnut burr blank this was an off cut from a burr I turned a while ago and I rough cut to shape and keps anypieces that I thought I could use as I have here

Even though I had cut the logs down I needed to cut many into rounds which help free up space as I have some under a cover in the garden. Managed to now cut 68 into rounds and have 90% of it all under cover and even then still have some more. I will be glad when it is all done so that I can get...

Well the day is nearly upon us so I spent a little time this morning replacing my bandsaw blade ready to cut the pieces I have cut into rounds. The old blade was cutting teribble and I should have changed a while ago. So the first thing in the new year is to buy some replacement blades as I like...

I had an idea for a bit of decoration so went to the turning shed and selected the plainest Sycamore blank I could find. A few cuts later and it didn't look so plain after all! 10 1/2" x 3 1/2" Horse Chestnut. 8 1/2" x 4 3/4" finished in Danish oil. This was very punky and tore out with any...
