scrap

Every now and again I get to rummage through the scrap bin of a luthier friend. The timber comes from the scrap after cutting out guitar necks, also there is pickguard and a bit of purfling. I had to buy the kit! A Knurl GT.

Fully hollowed out to 5mm (ish). This Oak blank had been kicking about for ages so I thought I had better use it and make some space. The finial is Maple and the lid is some bit of scrap. I think it's all still moving a little but hopefully will settle down. Dare not take any more of the lid...

Last week's efforts. Took some time to do this as I was finding my way as not done much of these designs. The lid is Walnut, the cup I am not too sure of but could be Ash and the finial is from a scrap piece of Oak What I do like about this is that the lid fits properly. Not too tight...

For many years I've carved a stylized mark of my initials into many of my carvings and turnings and often thought of trying to make a hot branding iron so no golf today as it's persisting down, a couple of hours to spare some brass rod, threaded rod and scrap beech and this is what I came up...

This timber has been listed on the Cities restricted list like many timbers treated this way these days.It turns,belieing its reputation as the heaviest and hardest of timbers. My first pen of Lignum was a scrap from a Ships bearing supporting the drive shaft after forty years. Peter.

The transport mechanism got stuck, just could not save it. Drilled out the brass tube with a 6mm drill. Not sure if a another mechanism will fit or not. All day working on that body and I was quet pleased with it. It was a Beech and Iroko laminate out of the scrap box. Still, never mind; try...

Found a bit of scrap wood so knocked this out to see how it would turn out

I had some scrap plywood given to me last week from the joiners shop at RAF Coningsby, thought I better make something up for the guy that gave me it, so this mornings effort is a Gold Tempest dressed in plywood, with A CA finish. I rather like it, which is just as well as I have enough for...

Copper and Aluminium Slimline made with scrap! First time in the shed for ages.. Found a bit of Yew for a tealight holder!

Only melted some bits of scrap lately! more tidying up to do with it... hoping the round bit at the bottom of pic 2 will end up as a cog to replace the plastic one in the pic if I manage it :eek: :thinks:

The secretary of the local woodturning club asked if I could turn some glasses stands for their charity stall, I was handed a piece of paper with the design on & this is my first attempt, apparently they sell extremely well. So first up a little spindle moulding Followed by some routing...

I've only just started turning in last month-looking at youtube vids it talks about using a piece of scrap timber to make a jamb chuck. Where does this 'scrap wood' come from ? :-) There seems to be an assumption that there's timber scattered all over the place. Can you get offcuts from local...
