I feel absolutely knackered today. Got woken at 2:30am with terrible cramp in both feet followed by a tightness of the chest, wife phoned 111 and next thing ambulance sitting outside front door. They seemed to be here ages. A 1/2hour later in hospital for the next 6 hours in and out of little...

Here is the result of my first home made hybrid. The photos don't really do it justice, as you cant quite see the swirls of gold pearlex in the blue. But I like it, reminds me of an underwater scene. OK, onwards and upwards!

When our second child was on the way, my wife and I attended a pre-birth class aimed at couples who had already had at least one child. The instructor raised the issue of breaking the news to the older child. It went like this: "Some parents," she said, "tell the older child, 'We love you...

The first one is a Mark 1 with a home grown patriotic blank and the second is a Mark 2 with the same blank. Peter

This is my first Mistral, bought last May, I have misplaced the bushes and had to buy some more. It's with a home grown blank. Peter

If you go to the home page, you'll notice there's a column on the left hand side of the page. If you can't see it, click on the arrows on the far left, a little way down the page and it will "un-hide" itself. I've put notices there on a few occasion in the past and I'm just interested to know...

As the competition is now over I can place my pen here. An Omega with what I called a home made festive blank. Comments welcome

So... how was your Christmas? We had a packed house with all the family together for the first time in ages. Great to have the youngest here particularly at Christmas. The last of them went home yesterday, and a good job our recycling bins were emptied yesterday too.

Hi all. Been in hospital for most of December (asthma) and just got home. Going to spend a day catching up on all the turning pictures this afternoon. Merry Christmas to you all, happy turnings. Simon

A warning to all, be careful about drink driving as we are getting close to Christmas and Police are out there checking on people. Last night I was out for a few drinks. One thing lead to another and I had a few too many beers and then went onto the vodka. Not a good idea. Knowing I was over the...

Shortly before lunch I was minding my own and finishing a pen when there was an almighty implosion and the plastic tub base of my home made in line seperator burst in. I had used this for years. Called it a lucky break the fine dust and shavings were intact. Quite unexpected my wife rushed in to...

A few more of my home made blanks turned today plus a few extras just for the heck of it again they are going to Llandudno with me on Thu

A Farm Kid Joins the U.S. Marines. Dear Ma and Pa, I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all the places get filled up. I was restless at first because you get to stay...

A Gunmetal & Chrome Zeta twist action pen Made using a Bamboo Chopping Board from Home Bargains.

This is a Chrome Sedona Rollerball with home grown resin, but it is not my home grown resin, but one of Derek's/Dalboy. I back painted the blank with blue spray paint and it has had a dramatic effect compared to the offcuts which I left without back painting. Peter

My wife says it does, but usually after I bring home another truck load of wood.
