Well not the shortest of pens.....but i have been itching to have a go at one of these..... Customer is well chuffed and so am i....way easier than i thought but it did take some thought to get what he wanted the way he wanted:thinks:

Something's bugging me. I have recently purchased a small axminster lathe and all is well except that the live centre in the tail stock didnt turn as freely as I thought it should. Anyway I convinced myself that I could get a better one from amazon. The one I chose had good reviews so I thought...

Even though this is not yet complete i have now come to the time to make the last components which are the tracks, but first I will need to make some jigs to get all 62 links identical. Anyway thought I would show what it looks like without the tracks but everything else now complete.

After I made a comment on one of Scott's threads the other day about my dad having a accident & needing skin grafts & the best wishes that followed, I thought I would let you know what happened & how he's doing, I thought I would start a new thread as I already had bombarded Scott's thread with...

Well I thought I would give it a go...

Hello all forum members, My name is Andy and I hail from the Angus town of Arbroath. Have been a turner / machinist in the oil and gas industry most of my working life so thought turning wood on a small lathe would be a doddle. That thought very quickly got shelved !!. Being a complete novice to...

Found this blank today and thought it would suit this Epsilon.

Some time ago i asked about wood suppliers close to me, somebody replied that there was someone in Surrey near Box Hill. They gave me his contact details.................and i deleted them. Well i am going to Box Hill today and thought i would give him a call, but i have deleted the message...

"Would you mind telling me, Doctor," Bob asked, "how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?" "Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask him a simple question which everyone should answer with no trouble. If he hesitates, that puts you on the track." "What sort...

I had a go at doing a part dye stabilisation. I placed the blanks vertically in some dye and stabilising resin, and let capillary action draw it up to a bout a third. I then stabilised in cactus juice. The red didn't go a deep as I thought, but it is a start at adding a little interest into the...

I bought this little atomiser some time ago and thought it was about time it had a home. Perfume bottle holder - YouTube

This is a slimline for a friend who is leaving BV Llandudno to be near his family. It is made from a piece of timber he donated to the workshop. We're not sure of the timber, thought it might be elm but it's also like some cherry I have. It's finished in melamine & micro polish.

Started off OK but didn't really go to plan. Thought I would share anyway. Day in the shed - YouTube

I did make a post earlier on this asking about the south. I have just come across this list on another site i thought it might be useful to some of you. Also found this site, some shows maybe the same, England | woodfairs.co.uk Hope this helps

Hi all... First turning of 2017... after the run up to Christmas - where a lot of my family and friends wanted pens made for presents (very chuffed that people like my pens after only turning for a few months!) - I thought I would attempt to turn a couple of bowls. Here is the first one - a...

I thought this might give you a laugh.:funny: Car Stuck in snow - YouTube

I like this so thought I would post
