Hi All, This is part 1 of 2 A very short video of my first try with Polyclay. This piece of cane was handmade and is amazing to look at. I managed to ruin it in about 5 minutes. ;-) I'm hoping it will look a little better when turned. Polyclay cane & Resin - YouTube

Hi Everyone, I'm Andy a new to turning enthusiast from deepest darkest Oxfordshire. I started turning last month in a friends workshop and am thoroughly enjoying it so far. Pen turning has been a real delight even though the score currently is: scrap bin 5, finished pens 2. The two that I've...

So after weeks of the workshop being full of stuff from the house due to rooms being redone in there... I have today managed to get my Workshop back... Now where was I on learning Woodturning??? Kevin

My website has always been a bit pants and I've never really had any control over it, due to being a computer numpty! Ben Cook (BensBespoke on here), has started me off with a new site that I can actually use! It's all a bit raw at the mo, but I have managed to upload some magazine articles...

Well like all plans about getting into the shed to do some turning and finish off cutting the blanks and sealing them. I had forgotten that we were meant to have the great-grandson who at the mention of shed grabs his bag of toy tools and follows me out there. So I did manage to sort out my...

Hi everyone, Just a quick note to say hello an introduce myself. I am a reasonably new turner and have been turning boxes, wands, bowls since last summer on and off, due to house extension work. I got a pen mandrel from Santa this year and have just started using it so thought I would find a...

Not much time for turning recently because the wife's had me renovating the kitchen. I guess it's better than buying a new one so I shouldn't complain. Anyway, I've managed to turn and burn a modified slimline. I'm moving up the ladder and I'm going to burn a zeta next. Regards George

I was wondering which glues people are using for their segmenting work? I want to segment wood, acrylic and possibly metal. I've tried CA, but managed to stick more of myself than the blank! :rolling:

I was wanting to get some of the natural bark left in places but the antler was a bit to thick, managed it on the 3rd one in the center.

Managed in between crises to get these blanks from around the world glued up and ready to go. Preview. Peter.

Too much sport on the TV today F1, Cricket and Football but we managed to get a bit more done

Don't manage to get much time in the workshop at the moment but managed to get this one sorted: C & C's welcome Davey G

OK, today I turned my first ever pen. More a chance to test the lathe and my tools etc, rather than creating a work of art! I bought 5 Axminster slim line pen kits and 5 cheap wood blanks to start to develop my turning skills. After a shaky start (wasn't sure which way the bushings went on the...

I've had better days. The front bearing on my lathe is completely buggered. Managed to source a new one from Myford - managed to dis-assemble the head to get at it, but I just CANNOT get the old bearing off the spindle. Are any of you engineers able to give me some tips?

Managed a few pens this week. Here are the first 2 First a Mistral in Conway Stewart material which is part of a set, just haven't made the FP yet. second a Sedona also in CS blank My usual hurried, crap photos.
