    Not a dragon pen

    Finished the one and only pen I will make with this stuff. It just doesn't work.. Quite like this one though. Got a same but different one coming, hopefully it will be better

    Spanish Olive

    Hi all, Two of Phils Sirocco's dressed also in his Spanish Olive, I must say it turned very easy and quickly but I think that was due to Olive being quite oily/moist.... Not like the dry dusty stuff I have been turning of late.... Still, looks nice with good grain

    On the new lathe...

    First attempt at something smaller on my new lathe rather than the Proxxon mini I had been using for this type of stuff, in case you can't guessed pocket penlight made with Acrylic. Regards Padster

    A present!

    We received a present today. A friend of mine from a bit further up North turns wood despite being registered as blind. He makes stuff and fundraises for a brilliant charity Blind Veterans UK - Rebuilding Lives After Sight Loss Thank you Bill Mooney!

    Photo's

    Where do you all store your photo's? I only ask because I'm nosey. Oh and another reason is that I have just spent a few hours uploading all of mine to Amazon photo's.

    Yesterdays Project

    I know you can buy acrylic pen stands but when you have the means & materials to make them yourself then it's more fun. Only thing I didn't have was an acrylic bender, just wanted something basic & a quick check on youtube sorted one out for me. Turned out I had everything I needed ut the...

    I wasn’t sure whether to put this in the wood or acrylic section. I’ve been playing with the Cholla again. I really like the look of this stuff.
