made

I only seem to get into my workshop in the winter as there is always so many other things to do during the summer which is why I don't get time to post much. This is my Sunday afternoon Pen that I have made for someone's Christmas Present. Its a Gospel Love ' Faith ' Hope Pen

Hi all, Not made a pen for a while, so did this. I have now made a jig for the knot which helps. Cheers, Frederick Upside down again:rolling:

Every now and then I make a piece which uses magnets, very often they are hidden ie sunk into the wood or behind a panel so I need some fairly powerful magnets and also a self adhesive magnetic surface. One the one occasion that I made a suspended piece I needed magnets that would repel...

The wife said it would be a good idea for me to make some fruit so I did. Made from Yew, Walnut, London Plain and Apple. The finish was kept simple with sander sealer and buffed with carnauba wax.

Another cigar pen made with luthier's scrap

Hi all, Many thanks for adding me to you forum. I'm an engineer by trade and for many years have been making a range of steam engines and clocks so my Cornish workshop is kitted out for metal turning, milling etc. Little did I know that my grandson would accidentally introduce me to the grand...

Hi Not made a pen for a while so just a simple one to say thanks to someone who gave me some usable wood ?

I little while ago I did someone a favour by turning some knobs and in return, he made me part of a jig for drilling holes for earing stands(the metal parts in the picture). anyway, at last, I got around to using it and these two are the results. Made from Oak and American Black Walnut

Hello all. New to this forum and pretty much to turning in general. Hopefully I've managed to attach some pictures of pens we've made recently. I say "we" as most were made with varying amounts of involvement from a number of young lads I work with on the family farm. All of them have struggled...

I just made my first kitless pen. Man it was tricky. Kudos to all you guys who make this look so easy. I spent ages designing and planning it up front but lots of things happened during the build that I hadn't catered for. Also I made a pretty basic mistake in my dimensions during the design...

I made an acoustic bass guitar a couple of winters ago and made this dulcimer from the left-over materials last winter. Dulcimer means "sweet sound" though not when I am playing.

Streamline pen and letter-opener made from Brazilian mahogany ( off-cut from a guitar neck )

Hi I live in Cardiff and I’ve been woodturning for quite a while, but it was only last week that I made my first ever pen. I’ve made a couple more since and even managed to ruin one, (at least I’ve learnt that those things are really hard to pull apart and it’s best to get it right first time)...

I haven’t posted much for a while having been on an enforced slow down after the surgeons decided that they want to play with the zipper they stuck in my chest 3 times since September. Anyway I'm back at 95% functionality (it won’t get more than that), and I have had a successful couple of...

After searching High and Low for Irish Pine Bog Wood finally made a Celtic Irish Pine Wood Pen. Glen:drool:

Help Please I am thinking of making Irish Bog Wood PINE Pens. As anyone made and sold them. IS THERE A MARKET FOR THEM.?:wink:

My Dad uses a wet razor so when I saw these kits it seemed like the ideal Fathers day gift, this was turned from crosscut American Black Walnut.I made a pen for him towards the end of last year this matches the pen though I am not sure why you would be writting while having a shave lol Not...

Going on from the post about tool racks on another forum would people like to share either homemade rack and or jigs they have made to aid them when turning. I will start off with the chisel racks and a router holder, there is a depth collar which is adjustable by the black star knob but not...

A quickie thread to say hello. From the south of the UK and totally new to wood turning and pens. Good with tools but not used a lathe until now. Have made parts for bikes and custom bits for cars but only basic stuff. G/F came home with a lathe for herself a few weeks ago and I’ve got...
