give

Needed to try making a bowl on me new lathe after down sizing to a coronet Herald and the machine past with flying colours nice little machine it turned this 9” Tazza with ease ok I couldn’t give the machine the same welly as the bigger machines Im used to but on projects this size it was fantastic

So I saw this and thought I'd give it a try, something I'd never tried before the wood is Sycamore... Regards Padster

My wife saw these somewhere and asked me what I thought. I said I would make a few and she could give them away. Fun to make. I added an eyelet so they could be hung from a Christmas tree. 6 are made up 4 pcs, body, hat, hat topper and nose. The one on the far right was the last one I...

So the big day will soon be with us. Fortunately I have made all the pens I needed to dish out as prezzies, 12 pens for 9 different people and that got me thinking, No doubt you have all made pens for all of your family and friends at Christmases gone by, and am curios to know do you give them...

Hi all, had to work late tonight, so took the opportunity of a bit of workshop time!! I think I saved the best till last, it might be a keeper or very expensive :face:.... Might give it another polish later:praying:

So this is my first attempt at casting my own blank. Alan Morrison kindly sent me a casting mould he hadn't used for free which spurred me on to give it a go. Unhappy with bought glitter blanks, I made my own and I'm very very pleased with the result.

A custom order, I did one a while ago and just after it sold another customer came to purchase the same. So I was asked to make another.... Where did I get that blank?? Long story short, a quick order to Penn state industries, but don't only buy 1 blank 3 will give me a spare for co?k ups and 1...

Hi everyone, Has anyone out there any views/experience of the Scmidt p900 G2 Parker style ball point refill.I am thinking of ordering a few to give customers a choice of tip width etc.All views appreciated. Geoff.

Hi Guys I was asked to make this for someone to give as a Xmas present. A lousy picture I need to learn how to use a camera. Those white specs on the nib area polished off.

Tomorrow I complete my visits to a brilliant Doctor Dentist ,so I made this today between chores to give as a thankyou tomorrow. Peter.:goesred::goesred:

Hi there and thankyou for allowing me to join the forum. I am pretty new to pen making but not new to spinning a lathe. I make traditional fishing floats and other items of tackle. I recently purchased the Axminster Pen Lathe for my floatmaking and it came witha mandrel etc so i thought i would...

As per my prviouse post, I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. Workshop is now close to being how I want it and casting is now back up and running... Some I make into pens, some I give away to friends that have just started turning and I am starting to get a fair pile of blanks...

Yesterday I got a very nice donation of 4 pens & pouches from John (Fortress. This is not the first donation I’ve had from John so once again I’d like to give hin a BIG THANK YOU for his generosity. This donation will help fundraising for my charity BVUK.

Help with some ideas. Looking for a pen kit with a Pirate Theme. Give me some ideas please Glen:praying:

Hi all, I have always been happy with our suppliers, but I broke a few drill bits of late (machine marts finest Clarke range:whistling:) so after these guys were mentioned a while back I thought I would give them a try.... Obviously there not Dorma, but they weren't Dorma price either as you can...

This is a standard slimline done in African ebony with corian as the segmenting. Sometimes I like to give pens a name .:funny:

As Ash has been blowing everyone away with his amazing kitless turnings I thought I would try and give him a run for his money with my kitless twig.:thumbs: This kit does not have a cap, so it could get messy.:funny:

Hi ya all, I'm a new scroller from Derbyshire, I got my first saw at Christmas last year (2019) and quickly got hooked, I'd not done any woodwork of any kind since leaving school, and that was more years than I care to remember ago, I'm retired so I do have time to give to my new hobby along...

For those of my generation who do not and cannot comprehend why Facebook exists I am trying to make friends outside of Facebook while applying the same principles. Therefore, every day I walk down the street and tell passers-by: • what I have eaten • how I feel at the moment...

Can anyone give a name to this wood. Glen
