Ever since I started this woodturning malarkey one thing that I have learnt is to always get the best you can afford. But what happens when I cannot for the life of me see what the difference is between 2 items? I have never been one to back away from a sale, due to cost, if I have the money...

Since I have been turning pens and the odd bowl or 2 I have noticed that sometimes there is huge difference in prices for what looks like the same item. People don't appreciate the time and skill that goes into turning things that are hand made. The time, effort and the materials used to finish...

This pen was made by myself using Authentic Oak from HMS Victory. I Would like to thank the three people who supplied me with the items which enabled me make this quality pen. To the suppliers of the below items. Thankyou. * Mistral FP * Authentic Oak from HMS Victory * Oak Presentation box.

Some of the pen kits on Pen State Industries look really nice. Is there anyone in the UK that are able to supply their items or would i need to order direct from them ?

But the title doesn't fix a time of making; so having moved from one forum to here I thought I would post some of the items that I had posted before elsewhere, and I invite you all to join me ie post some of your previous items that have not seen the daylight on this forum. A small inverted...

What in the earth are these 2 items. I am at a totally lose. :rolling::rolling::thumbs::thinks::thinks:

Good evening all, I’m brand new to wood turning and have just picked up a record DML24x lathe, my intention is to make small items like pens and tobacco pipes. Is there a chuck I could use for both of these types of items? There are so many chucks on the internet that getting right one is a bit...

Anyone contacted or ordered from Dan lately? I have had a reply from him a week or so ago, then nothing. His website has a lot of 'Sold Out' items. Not seen much on the forum from him lately, just wondered if he is winding down?

Hello, My name's Karl. I'm a film industry professional of 26 years. I also runa small leatherworking business. I'm new to pen turning, just starting out. I look forward to getting to grips with it and will hopefully be able to eventually produce beautiful items, like the members here do. Karl

Well I keep practicing.... The items in the background are not my work mind... they are items I have collected from brocant fairs in France.

Just had a great weekend at The Woodfest show at Belmont House here in Kent. Great to see Mark AKA Flexi again had a good chat with him as well as other like minded people. There was some fantastic crafts all related to working with wood present from moving logs from woods using horses to...

OK, I just need to get this off my chest. ETSY I've been making pens as a hobby for about 12 years and for a while giving most of them away. Then etsy comes along. This was a site where you could sell your handcrafted items. Rules were that they had to be hand made by you. In 2008 I set up an...

I have a customer who has ordered a couple of items and they are for presents for family in Australia I know they are quite strict on what you can import but as far as I can see finished items should be ok if no sign of insects or bark,looking for our Aussie friends to confirm if there would be...

I have just moved to Norfolk, which is just amazing, for birdwatching, walking and getting the occasional branch to turn..! I love turning pens and designing unusual one offs and other useful items that we can use everyday, and your completed pen pictures and knowledge will definitely give me...

This is my idea board. I see things that appeal to me and I make copies and put them on the board. As my interests change I add and remove items. The stems on my latest batch of tops comes from some of the finials in these pictures.
