day

I took this photo on day one. (It doesn't look quite as uncluttered today I'm sorry to say)

I had a thin piece of Oak which sat in the wood store for ages you know the type "I will do something with that one day". Anyway, I named this two-faced as the disc can be turned around. The centres one green and one red are from a very small burr that I cut into 1/2" thick pieces for use in...

Got a request for 3 bullet pens in oak as a surprise pressy for 3 mates travelling to France for D Day 75 year celebrations. They'll be there nowif they didn't get pulled by security at the border as the pens were hidden in their luggage. Catching a ferry to France from Ireland so may be in...

Here goes my show off for the day

Yes, most of it was in the workshop. The day started with a phone call to Record power yet again. I got a replacement motor Saturday after months of waiting to find they have changed the shaft diameter from 5/8" to 16mm it may only be a few thousands of an inch different but it was the...

Day 2 of knee revision and it hurts:sob::sob::sob:

I am so romantic.:fart:

Recently completed – 13mm cap threads, #6 Bock nib, and this green acrylic is really lovely. The Celtic knotwork clip and cap band are in nickel, as are the accent rings, section cap, and the finial caps. The finials feature Brigid crosses – today is Saint Brigid’s feast day and Imbolc-...

Wonderful Day to everyone. Peter.

Just finished this pen and a bit of an emotional one. The photo is of my Father-in-law (Lee) & Mother-in-law (Diane) on there wedding day. They were married for 49 years when Lee passed away very suddenly in Diane’s arms with no warning. We were all devastated and I know Diane misses him more...

48 hours in the pot and 48 hours in the hot box. That’s my New Year’s Day sorted :thumbs: Happy New Year Everyone :thumbs:

Had a fantastic week at Blind Veterans UK teaching just a few turning skills and seeing the look of absolute joy and pride on their faces was worth far more than any payment no matter how big just seeing their confidence grow from day to day magic pure magic

Thousands and thousands of knitted Red Flowers ready for Remembrance Day in this our Nations Capital ,Wilma placing some. Hugely significant gathering prepared this year.A sea of Red. Peter.

I made these today to give away to two small veteran support groups being small charities they get very little help and struggle to survive in spite of the very important work they do day in & day out

I actually got a vote and is wasn't me who voted. Chuffed I am.:thumbs: I was wondering if you could vote for your own pen or is it not allowed. I love this pen of the week. My aim is to win it one day. Cheers, Frederick

Well today was different!! Some who know me, know I work at a school, I am head of the maintenance dept. We now have these things called "Well being days" to encourage development.....in my day it was called a 'pi**about' day but we move on. We are also on trend with a 'Wilderness school's...

Have a day off today (London for the rest of the week :sob: ) So down the workshop and decided to have a good tidy up. Just managed to knock over my small drawer cabinet that houses all of the pen making drill bitts and bushes I now have a every bush kit mixed up and a pile of drill bitts on...

Turned this one to day. Its a Pensar the blanks were some bits out of the scrap bin.
