Afternoon, Thuya Burr lined and threaded with an acrylic from Lumber Jimstudios, sporting a #6 Bock (F) nib. A very slight step and fine barrel taper. Its taken a while to find an acylic to compliment the burr but I think this is it. Revised my approach to threading, and I think it's an...

Afternoon, A bit bigger pen this time, turned from a Erinoid blank called St Elmo's Fire, sporting a Bock #5 gold plate nib (F). A very slight barrel taper and a tiny step between the cap and barrel. Still playing with the ratios! Capped length: 147.33mm Uncapped length: 138.43mm Barrel...

Thanks for all the comments on an earlier pen. I was half way through making this one, so some of the feedback has been incorporated, some hasn’t but will be on the next one So - thread shortened, nib sunk further into the section. There is still the cut behind the barrel thread, I’ve tried to...

The Derwent Valley light railway is now a short length of track run by volunteers in a museum setting. It used to run all around the City of York supplying Rowntree's Chocolate factory and many other large concerns with essential goods, most of it is now a network of cycle paths but I have fond...

Hi Everyone, I'd like to start turning some small parts from wood; the parts are just wooden tubes similar to pen shafts. The maximum length will be 10cm and the interior diameter will always be the same. I'm putting together a minimal tools list and I was hoping you could check & advise on...

Afternoon, Me - I've been experimenting with kitless (spell checker keeps on correcting that to witless.... premonition perhaps:wink:) pens. Here are my first two real attempts at complete pens. The acrylic is Shockwave with an Ebonite section, #6 Bock nib. Closed length 145mm Section 23mm...

Anyone using the Axminster AT1016VS? I am thinking of selling my Record CL1 and getting the AT1016VS. Just wondering what people's opinions are on the little trade machine are? I currently only turn pens and shaving kits, and I can't see myself ever turning a bowl larger than the 250mm...

I was watching a video of a natural edged bowl being turned on youtube, i have done a couple myself though only small ones say 6in diameter. This video showed a bigger one, about 10in diameter i should think, the thing is it appeared oval. My brain says this this cannot be as there is a fixed...

I'm about to start developing our Bottle stopper / Shaving brush handle moulds/molds! What sort of size would you like to see? I'm thinking of the option of 2 different moulds a 40mm diameter x 65mm high & 45mm diameter x 65 diameter version! Both capable of casting 2 blanks at a time to keep...

A piece of Wych Elm gifted to me by John Hodgson in Scotland. The bowl section is 3 1/2" Diameter x 2" high.

I have a chuck with 'std' jaws that cover a range from about 42mm to 60mm. My lathe swings 6 inches making a 12 diameter bowl in theory. My question is are my jaws man enough to hand on to a bowl that size. I have one on the go at the moment and it's around 10 inches diameter and about 4 1/2...
