I ask for some money from the family this year so I could get something for my woodturning. Well it arrived today now have a new toy to play with when decorating some of my things. Made by Harder and Steenbeck so hopefully better than the cheap ones I use at the moment.

I had a query no you lot not a queery darlings:kiss:. So I made contact with our leader Phil and I would like to say what a great service he provides within two days all sorted out. I believe that we all should praise those that go that extra mile as many times all we hear of suppliers is...

Right this is a thread I have running on many forums. The concept is simple in a similar vein to "Ask the Experts" this is your chance to ask any question on any subject to someone who knows a little about a lot of things. There are a few things i ought to make you aware of though; 1. I do not...

I recently completed a project that has just come around full circle. I made a set of five pens as a "fund-raiser" of sorts, but also to honor a young man who lost his life in service of his nation and - perhaps moreover - to honor his parents who are also my neighbors. Follow the link to...

I'm new the wood turning and very much learning as I go on. One thing that really impresses me is how supportive other woodturners are! I'm Keiron, 32 years old, I live in midwales and have a very small workshop in my garage. I say work shop, it consists of a table saw, planer thicknesser...

It's been a tough and irritating few months, as everyone here will attest to. Since taking over the reigns from Jim last September, and migrating everything to a new server, the forum has been plagued by niggling little problems, ranging from not being able to send a PM on occasions, to being...

Not sure where this should go so put it here. They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & Sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor" But worse than that were the really poor folk who...

To prevent Miles thread being bogged down and taking it off thread.. continuing this comment from Walter So don't you think it's time that we made a change and was starting to be constructive when required. When we post a new thread showing our pride and joy, do we all want the comments? Or...

I have recently started turning. I was bought an Axminster lathe by my children, looking to keep me occupied in my retirement. I'm still learning how to use the tools but thought I'd like to give pen turning a try. I've been looking around the old Internet and asking at my local turning clubs...

I go to the eye hospital on the 17th for more laser surgery on my eyes as my wee bit of sight is diminishing as my retinas have gone cloudy & they are trying to stop it getting worse. It won't improve things but hopefully it will slow it down. No guarantees of course but I'll take it as it comes.
