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...

As Ash has been blowing everyone away with his amazing kitless turnings I thought I would try and give him a run for his money with my kitless twig.:thumbs: This kit does not have a cap, so it could get messy.:funny:

Hi, Someone asked me to post a few pics of my models/clocks so here's a couple of this loco, it's a scale model of a GWR Hall Class engine. It weighs close onto a cwt (in old money!) and is currently hanging on the wall of my lounge so as you can imagine the brackets are quite robust.:wink:

*THE HAIRCUT* Blessed are those that can give without remembering, and take without forgetting. One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The...

My first attempts at bowl turning. As I noted on another thread, the oak came from the restoration of our local pub. I have never really got round to trying to turn a bowl before so here are my first attempts. Not sure oak is the wisest timber to try as a first attempt but it seems to have...

Haven't bothered with fairs for years, but I've been asked to do a "Gifts for Christmas" fair in early November. Realised I didn't have any pocket money stuff so spent literally minutes on these!

I've heard that Birchwood Cassey Tru Oil is good stuff but the cost of even a small bottle is silly money. After a quick search I found this recipe, anyone tried it? Mike's Oud Forums - Powered by XMB
