Hi All,
Been a while since I was last here.
Times were hectic with a lot of production work.
Then came the July violence with burning and looting of shops which slowed everything down.
Am now quiet as business is trying to recover from the mayhem.
Production work has stopped as business recovers...
5 in x 2 in. Quarter sawn English oak, a very hard & dense blank to turn. After trying all my tools (rather aggressive in such a small piece) I used my Sorby micro modular toolset on it and I must say that they worked a treat - the tiny hollowing tool removes a fair amount of wood without...
Hi all,
As some know already I am having to thin right down what I do, as such I have a box of 50 surplus kits, I have had a quick total up and it's frightening what the costs are..... What I would like to do is two boxes of 25 kits+ extras to two separate people to give more people a chance...
My first proper go at acrylic, quite nerve wracking to begin with but when I got to the last 2 or 3 micro meshes it just popped and was quite spectacular to be fair! :-)

Thought i would give you all a laugh. I did my first Craft Fair, it was in a village hall and we had to be there at 9am to set up. The fair started at 11am (yes i know why so long)
I left at 2.30 with out selling a thing, paying a tenner for the table and about eleven people came in !! I have...
For the first time ever Vic has let me have access to the Forum. I received a fantastic gift in the post yesterday. Bill sent me a pen that he had made from a piece of 1000 year old Oak from Durham Cathedral. Being a Durham Lass or perhaps an Old Girl now, it was such a pleasure to receive such...

Fairs fair you blokes, I don't mind you using my gear in the shed, but bloody hell, clean up after yourselves.
This is what I found when I opened my shed after I got back from my mother in laws funeral (6510 km) trip.
