place

Hey Hoi, After much consideration I have come to the conclusion that I need a bit of a break, As such this will be my last post on here for at least a few weeks and maybe/possibly/probably months. I'm rather ill and my head is all over the place and has been getting worse over the last few...

I returned home today to begin an 8 week lay about while my newly fused ankle heals. Both flat feet have collapsed to the point where I was bone on bone. At times the pain was crushing. 2 metal rods held in place with 4 screws. 4 more screws to get my foot bones into their proper place...

Made these today ............... but neither of them work :sob: The pink one is that the refill does not come out when the plunger is pressed, very very stiff as well. The blue one I have enough of the refill showing as to make the pen usable, when pressing the plunger the refill moves but...

Zoe,s Place is a Children's Charity local to me. I made some pens for them to raffle. I did the same last year. I used some of Pauls blanks. (Pen Blanks and moulds) They turned and polished really well. I will try and get some pictures photography is not my strong point. Middlesbrough -...

Beech wood with Melamine Lacquer finish. Propelling pencil and pen set, not in one of my "home made" boxes either. But in a presentation box all the same. I do realise there is a place for my boxes and slimline ones aren't one of them

I currently have a Clarke CWL325V 13" ( Clarke CWL325V 13" Wood Lathe with Electronic Variable Speed - Machine Mart - Machine Mart). It's been ok but it's lacking in quality :(. The tail stock moves no matter how tight you get it and you need a spanner to do that as the plastic handles slip. So...

Hello friends I'm looking for ideas on an indexing jig for a 12" Lathe as my Axminster lathe doesn't have this feature I can't even lock the head drive in place. James

Well, a something of a dilemma. It's rarely happened in the past, but this week we have a tie for first place, so I guess it falls to me to cast a deciding vote. Both pens are excellent for their different reasons in my view, and I find it hard to split them. However, Ash has occupied the front...

I salvaged a number of old kitchen cupboard doors destined for the skip a few months ago and hung on to them wondering if they could be used somewhere, finally got fed up falling over them and moving from place to place so cut them up. They were well past their sell by date and unfortunately the...

Latest project.... These should be the correct way up........:praying: I thought Furlough was a place in Yorkshire :funny: Cheers Frederick Nope!!! upside down again.....I give up......:rolling:

Stumbling in U Tube ideas . Use a plastic storage box. In each corner stand and anchor clear of the fluids rebar rods joined using steel wire,never copper cause of the way it goes funny.Piece of wood to sit across the top to hold the object in the centre. Mix laundry soda 3 or 4 tablespoons in...

Well what a place, I have just had 3.5 weeks in UK with a lot of travelling ie Chichester, the Mumbles, Bolton, Harrogate, High Wycombe, Bolton, Chichester, back home (about 3500 kilometres)!! What a place...…. I have never seen so many roadworks, so much rain, so many middle lane hoggers and...

I recently inherited a lathe from my father. We did some turning when i was younger and thought i would try and "turn" my hand at some pen making. My question is where is best place to go shopping for mandrels, etc. i am close to Axminster power tools but they feel over priced. Is there a good...

Not sure if this is the place for this but here goes. I have been suffering with tooling going rusty in my shed really bad, but this year and period Feb & Mar only ???. It is so bad i removed my chuck from the lathe put it in the box i made to hold all my chuck bits and pieces and two days later...

I've got my warehouse sorted, but my workshop has had to take second place. Where do I start? :sob:

I’m ? night for a pressure pot and all the kit to go with casting resin blanks. Can anyone recommend a pressure pot and pump and where’s the best place to order from?? Thanks in Advance Alex

Anyone any experience using 3 ply guitar pick guard material when segmenting blanks? Also where is the best place to get credit card-like material?

Congratulations to Brad (Bammer) on winning this week's POTW We have a dead heat for first place but fortunately both of them are Brad's pens so we won't have to arrange an arm wrestling competition to decide the winner. Two beautifully cast, turned and finished pieces, no surprise they shared...

Hi to all in the forums. I'm new to wood turning as it's been 35 year since I left school. And that's the last time I tried to turn. And got a rap on the knuckles with a piece dowl from the teacher :praying: So I will be asking loads of questions and praying for help. I'm glad to of found...
