time

I have never made one of these in all the time that I have been turning pens and as I have two of them which were given to me by two members on here I thought it was about time I made one of them. As many have done before me it is on a white blank which I cast myself.

A full rhodium TM Zeta dressed in one of Brad Herrington’s beautiful timepiece acrylic blanks. Credit should go to Brad for making such a beautiful time consuming blank. Thanks Brad.

hi to all, I took the plunge after reading many hours of posts and i gleamed the best advice was to join a forum as this is an invaluable source of help and information. So here I am My name is Stewart, I've reach that age where I have got a little bit of spare time and I can at last rekindle...

I have done 2 pens in 1 week - a record for me. This one is a Sierra I believe - I had a Sierra some years ago and it blew up on the M6 - the design seems to have changed a bit since then. This may yet blow up too as it is from China and at present it leaves a black trail when I drag it across...

Hi All, Got some time at the project today.

Hello everyone, my name is Dave Robertson(although being married for 38 years I answer to most things :)). I have an incredibly vast knowledge of turning in general having started this a whole 7 months ago. I have a well developed sense of humour, although some people say I am a sarcastic...

Found in my clean up in a bag just waiting. Made for me when Watch Part Pens were new and innovative, costly so I put it away to one day do my best with it. The brass sleeves cast at the time made me search for two days to match three kits to make it. Just recently there has been some discussion...

Well the day is nearly upon us so I spent a little time this morning replacing my bandsaw blade ready to cut the pieces I have cut into rounds. The old blade was cutting teribble and I should have changed a while ago. So the first thing in the new year is to buy some replacement blades as I like...

Pen with melted Aluminium and grooves filled with coloured Epoxy as a test a long time ago! There are some other bits somewhere in quite old threads on here, been trying some HDPE melting again lately as well.. Also tested a bit of Hydro dipping with Spray paint, just Pound shop...

Today the Garden of England Woodturners had their annual open day. The morning you could hardly move with people in there. I took these in a quite spot at lunch time my stand is the first one with the blue covers on the table and shelves.

Evening folks, had an idea, whether it's a daft one or not, Im hoping you'll tell me. As you've probably noticed, I use hybrid blanks sourced via George at "From the Tree" from time to time, they are stunning blanks which I normally just finish with melamine, but during my...

Hi all, Someone here allready turned ivory ? If yes, what kind of tools you use for it ? I used my standard tools ( skew, gouge, carbide scraper, etc... ) and they become all dull after a few minutes. Spent more time on sharpening than turning... If one of yours have a suggestion :thinks:

Are any brits still using timberbits? I want some vicmarc jaw sets and they are much cheaper than over here. the acrylic blanks seem good value too. Is one method of shipping preferred to another (global mail or express)? The last time that I used them, it had free shipping on a reasonable...
