show

From the Hand made Show last Saturday, the bloke showed me how the Filament appearance is achieved in the light bulbs using LED Strips, never been up close enough before. High expectations travelling 400 miles to show from Melbourne. Peter.

With me revamping my workshop I realised there doesn't seem to be many pictures of other peoples workshops, so let's use this thread to show us all your workshop! I don't know about anyone else but I'd be very interested to see other people's setups. I'll post photos of mine when it's finished.

Many of us often cast, stick on, glue on, or somehow attach a label, decal, or some printed matter onto a pen blank. We all post photo's that show some very nice work, but rarely, if ever, do we see the ''other side'', that is the seam / joint where they wrap around and meet. I'd like to see...

On some Lever Action frames to show up in the mail. Les

Hi all. I resigned from my job at the school today. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to those who helped me fund raise whilst I was there!:claps: For those new to the forum, there are a few posts in the events section that show how generous these guys can be! York 1 and 2 were the best...

Here a few pics of my booth at tha Artisan Craft Show organized past weekend for the benefit of sick children. Sold a lot of small turnings ( bottle stoppers, keyholders, mushrooms ) also a few bigger turnings and 14 pens. Not bad for a small craft show at all ! :banana:

Hi all, No time for turnings today ! First of all we need to go to the clinic, my wife has an appointment with the surger... After that i've to prepare all my stuff and build up my booth for a craft show this weekend. It's a very busy end of week. See you back monday !

Managed to get into the shed today and do some turning, it felt so good hopefully tomorrow I will be able to show the results. I really did miss the shed time

Well I am sure someone will step up to the plate and show their hand.. Pen kits direct? Ever heard of them ? yes bit is a UK company with a .com website based in Essex. Pen Kits Direct Be interesting to see if anyone one on here has, they came to the for a few months ago (18th July 2016 to be...

Some of the guys at the Harrogate show today!

Hi folks, hopefully you will be able to help here, this is my latest pen but the black acrylic at the tip has a sheen to half of it, hard to show in the pictures but the camera flash showed it up best. 1 half is jet black and the other has a crazing to it, is it the "iridescence"...

My Daughter and Granddaughter came this weekend and I only managed to get this done and not the Tempest as I thought, so maybe during the week now for the Tempest. I drilled the antler with an offset which ideally could have been more offset, so I kept it chunky to show more of the natural bark...

It has been a bit of a strange year for me, and missing the first UKIWS event was one of the lowlights! The Harrogate show is only a few weeks away and is the show highlight of my year. Any one going this year, and what day? I'll be meeting dear friends as usual, for a small Sherry on...

The big log is hundreds of yrs growing Obvious the white ants love creating hollows. The slice to show what its like in this rare as low growing tree.From the Northern Territory. Peter

Round journey of a hundred kms. Totally impressed with the timber etc used for handles. The owners daughter is thirteen and she is an instructor, she has been making knives since she was six. Viewed many of hers and others Damascus steel knives she creates from scratch. School holidays just now...

The club that I belong too is having an Annual show as this is the first year that I have been a member I have decided to have a table and not having displayed on a 6ft table I thought I would have a dry run here at home. So this is my set up minus any cloths which will cover the table and some...

Another colourway of my first batch of Pearl Ex blanks, this one on a Traditional roller ball. I experimented with gold glitter in the black Pearl Ex which can be seen in the blank but it doesn't show up well in the picture of finished pen but it does show up well in real life.

As title this is for the club competition not sure now that is complete that I like it but the wife does and I am not arguing. Made from Sapele and tulip wood the coloured bit was a failed pot that I had shaped but it was too shallow to show what I wanted so it became the decorated piece on...

It certainly is today its blowing 35 degrees and hard although its called the Vent d'Autan here . But at the week end I had a play with a couple of Phil's Mistrals and I thought I would show a couple: I have included a Jr gent just to show the relative sizes as well and the rollerball...
