inside

I was turning a Slimline pen earlier when something very peculiar happened. One of the blanks suddenly looked dark as the lathe was spinning with the other looking very pale, I turned the lathe off and had a look at the blank and it looked like burr, except it felt like cork. I carried on...

Turned this 10” bowl and set the 7.62 cases in this morning now the long wait for the resin to dry then remove the inside just hope it don’t move to much lol

Hi all, Well this one's come around again... I paint the inside of my blanks when they may become translucent. I also try to use a colour closest to the blank, unless I want to lighten or darken it slightly. I don't mix anything with the glue as it's inside the hole which is painted for which I...

My new favourite wood (until the next one I make). Kingwood and cellulose acetate. This is the first pen I have made where the cap is fully sleeved. What I mean is that inside the cap is an entire lining made from the cellulose, forming a complete barrier between the wood and the nib, like the...

Hi This is the biggest item I have turned. It is hollowed out to 40mm of the bottom but not sanded. It has been scraped on the inside. I di dn't use a steady either so was bricking it a bit. Cheers Frederick

This is a new blank from Beaufort, and a rare demonstrator pen from me. Given the nature of these transparent pens there is heightened focus in the finish, inside and out. I really enjoy buffing the outside of a pen - it’s when I do all my best thinking ?. But polishing the inside is one of my...

Hello folks! This is my last pen, fresh from the shed, an eyedropper made of alumilite with an ink window under the cap. Hidden O-rings here and there to avoid leaking. The clip is from Beaufort Ink: Nearly 5 cl of ink inside, compared to 0.8 for a cartridge. Pages and pages of...

Lost ground yesterday and today with lower respiratory probs. Hope I can still go in for extensive inside job on the right leg tomorrow morning. Peter.

I didn't do much turning in December because my workshop is colder than an igloos doormat. However, I did manage to turn this box, a Christmas gift for my wife. I carved a heart on the lid (I'm an old romantic) and finished it with a bit of pyro texturing. I decided that she might like to find...

This is the latest piece I am working on not sure what to do with it in regards to decorating. Thinking of painting the inside a light colour and a dark colour on the outside what do you think. The slots are still being worked on in these photo's

Well the day did not start that well first box the lid split I was a little heavy handed the second turned out Fine and the third I tried to make the lid smaller on the outside than the inside. As well as a couple of visitors nothing to do with woodturning.

Knocked this out today. Couldn't get a decent finish on the end grain on the inside which sort of kills it a bit

Hi Recently I have been gifted a 10'x12' Only (6' tall) steel shed. My intention is to raise it to 7' and line the inside with 3"x2" batons. An electrician friend is going to put in plug sockets etc. Would plaster board be suitable to line the inside or would it just soak up moisture? I have...

Paddy's struggling down the road with a wardrobe. His friend sees him and says "Hey Paddy, why don't ya get Mick to help you? Paddy says, "He's inside carrying the clothes"

Do you sand inside your hollow forms if so I thought that this may interest someone. You don't need to understand what he is saying as I think it speaks for itself

I used to know an African guy at a weekend market. From a Village near him in Africa the people made goods that he purchased then resold at his weekend stall. Amongst them were wooden spoons (largish). I used to buy them and turn the handles. They were stringy and tough made up of tubes, I put...

My first attempt at Steam Punk. I Planned to make 4 but only 3 made the cut .When I assembled the first one the internal pressure was too much (think i did not clean the tube inside :thinks:) and you could see the Resin separate from the tube. I cast these in Polyester Resin, serious smelly...
