    Vacuum Chucks

    I am looking at making a vacuum chuck. There are not many made in this country and those that are are extremely expensive. I have a few ideas using bearings mounted in wood, long tubes etc.and, no doubt, the odd piece of string here and there. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences of...

    Hi Eveyone Happy New year to all. As anyone used the Eliot click pen kit from Prokraft? I am asking really about the gel refill you get with the pen.

    ooer

    Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him. (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good).... A...

    Triple Delight

    This is the first triple Celtic I have made. The hardest part was producing the walnut hexagon on a band saw. Then measuring it to get all six sides to within an acceptable tolerance. And of course holding it on the lathe to give a dead centre hole. I made a piece long enough to give me a...

    Goldfinch

    I made this for a lady who has enjoyed watching goldfinches in her garden during lockdown. She asked for something to capture the essence of them, so I made the blank myself. (Why couldn’t she have picked Blackbirds instead?). Anyway I think it’s pretty close. Cheers Ash

    Red Pen

    I hesitated over posting this as I'm pretty sure you're getting bored by now but this is my little nod to Beaufort Ink. Phil was very helpful to me when I started down the road of kitless pens so I wanted to share one that I made entirely from his products. It's a single piece of Semplicita...

    Pen birthday

    I made my first kit pen exactly a year ago today. It was actually a pencil because I needed one for my workshop. I was quite dismissive of pen making at the time if I’m honest but, as I don’t need to explain to anybody on here, it soon grabbed hold of me. Before that my journey into wood...

    Streamline pen in Hawthorn

    In a barter / exchange with an old friend, I've made her this streamline pen in Hawthorn. It was a dream to turn, and is gorgeously figured. If you are into "meanings" then my yoga teacher, who I made a Hawthorn pen for at Christmas, will tell you it is very a spiritual, female wood which...
