test

lots of test pieces but not much finished stuff, but youve gotta have a play, aint ya :) this was just a proof of concept really, which, in its present form doesnt work....too delicate. but with a minor design change it should be ok, maybe even a different kit. anyhoo, thoughts and critiques are...

heres an opportunity for someone with a limited budget, so long as the kiss test is precise Buy Woodturning Lathe - Cast Iron 5 Speed online at Rutlands.co.uk

Just machined and assembled one of our 150mm long penblank moulds for a order going out tomorrow, as you can see from the photos, there’s more to our moulds than meets the eye, all precision cnc machined for accuracy then hand finished and assembled by yours truly.

Though I typically use Bock nibs, I had a customer request a Jowo nib instead. This was my test piece to learn in the in's and out's of boring the section for a Jowo #6. Italian pearl blue and black acrylic with nickel clip and black acrylic accents. The clip is annealing in the wife's oven...

I have a friend coming to visit me in the next while from overseas,these one piece pen blanks are for him. The exercise for us is how to name stray timber, I am guessing but I have a couple of hundred more to test anyone out. This is not the reason but here they are named and not named in the...

Just the final test for the Hydro Idea again, before I do a bit with a decent bit of melal, there was a quite bit of perosity in the Ally and it;s a bit under turned but worth trying I think, just need top get some nice coloured spray paints , Looking forward it as usual, roll on summer...

Living in an area full of Golf loving people I thought I would have a go at these pens to test the waters especially after the Open. being held here. Glen:drool::drool:

So the Alumilite has been going very well now so i just chalked the first one up to a bad pour on my part.. Finally got round to making a new blank mold so thought id test it out and came out with these, I am still getting used to the curing of the alumilite it is different to the opticast...

Taking out a strong folding table to work on I discovered this pair have taken up residence. Despite my moving around they stayed. I have taught a couple of Possums to drive after about 20 miles they failed the test, had to practice somewhere else. I have at least ten sheds so I visit this one...

Just tried my hand at home stabilising. This was a test piece which was a scrap bit of spalted beech, which was really quite punky. Well, I was very pleased withe the stabilising and the way it turned. I finished it using the Melamine method, and tuned it into a Zeta. Overall, for a process...

I am quite sad that this 300 year old oak tree in the village has just been felled by the local council as it was diseased. :sob: I have taken quite a few pieces although a lot would test my lathe to destruction. The stump is about six feet in diameter.

This simulates you in the driver's seat of a car. You're driving down a road, when you see a big red hand flash in front of you. You have to put on the brakes. Then, the Reaction Time Test tells you how old you are, when it comes to driving. The test is based on reaction times of 2,000 people...

The Mrs has brought me some new Camouflage Gear so I thought I would test it out. Pretty good stuff init :winking:

Turned these two little bowls 3"x 2 1/2" and 3" x 1 3/4" from the plywood my son gave as test to see how it turns looks promising.

Hi. I've been using CA for a while now, it's the only finish I've found that adheres to all the woods I use and seems durable. I must say though, I dread the finishing process. The fumes, the 0.5 seconds you have to get the thing coated before it cures, the lost layers of skin from getting my...

Just trying to post a picture to see if I am encountering problems that some may be having

I can no longer use my 3M half face mask as it is too hard to suck breath in so I am looking at powered respirators. I know of the Trend one, but that has the motor in the head unit and is 72decibels which I think would bother me after a short while. Does anyone have any other kind of Powered...
