hard

I have a Yew bowl half finished, i had to stop as i came across an internal crack, this was stabilised with CA. My last few bowls i have used an oil finish as i like the look and feel of the finish. My question is what to finish the Yew with, i would like the oil finish, as i said but this yew...

Hello all, as a nooby I'm gathering round me the various bits I think I need. I want to have a go at one or two click-action pens of my own, rather than as kits. I don't seem to be able to buy the necessary spring and plunger mechanisms anywhere. Can anyone help me with this, or am I...

Used up a bit more of my patience and did another slimline harlequin pen, this time in blue. It looks like hard work, but it's just therapy for the sole. George

Finally got around to turning a piece of the Zebrano - and I wanted to try one of the new Sirocco kits, here is the result. I was quite surprised at how hard the wood is, it made it more difficult to turn than anticipated. Finished with Melamine.

Had a small bit of pink ivory so produced this. It's bloody hard wood.

This weeks Pen of the Week chosen by Freck Fraser goes to the Fountain Pen made by Flexi (Mark). Freck said "Lots of top class pens this week and it's been a hard choice as there are many worth a mention. However for the sheer amount of hard work and skill Mark's pen is a worthy winner". Here...

Well this is my first bowl, it can't be seen but the bottom is a bit thicker than i wanted. When it was chucked up it felt it was getting near to i chicken out. It's Elm and was really hard to machine, i had to give my gouge a touch up quite often though i may well be my use of the tool i have...

Don't know what the blank is but it was awfully hard to turn (could be my tools are blunt:ciggrin:)

These kits are hard to find wood that matches. I think the solid resin is better.

Hi folks, hopefully you will be able to help here, this is my latest pen but the black acrylic at the tip has a sheen to half of it, hard to show in the pictures but the camera flash showed it up best. 1 half is jet black and the other has a crazing to it, is it the "iridescence"...

I have a portable hard drive that I have been going through Saving what I want and deleting the rest. I have cleared out what I want, there is a lot of stuff on it that I don't have any Idea of what it is and where it came from. I as wondering what will happen it I format this hard drive?:thinks:

Are all acrylic's the same in their manufacture only i have one that seems to be very hard or gritty.

Just a question to those of you who have made some how well does polymer clay stand up to everyday use I am under the impression when it is baked its as hard as plastic.

3 More pens for horseback UK Dave will be stocking these blanks soon at Pen Blanks - CubeCart they are made with poly resin and are quite hard

Copied Ted, well I tried to. The weather came in cold dont know if that had any thing to do with it, I pressed it down as hard as I could but I got a lot of air bubbles lik on second photo.:sob::sob:

Was lucky enough to get stack of well seasoned mixed logs from a local historic estate. They have been in a barn for over 6 years apart from some cherry which is now settled into a new home drying nicely. Its hard work cutting logs with just a hand saw, but I like trying different cuts...
