tip

Its been quite a while since i turned a pen so thought I'd have a go at some I've had for a fair bit. Vertex click pencil, turned smashin, assembly was another matter:sob::sob::sob:, tried to press the tip nut which is ribbed... far too tight bellied the brass out and smashed the blank. Be...

Finished the lorry today made from tulip wood and mahogany. This is just a toy for a young great grandson so it was a decision as to whether to make the body tip so I decided to have it fixed when he is a little older then I can make one with some working parts. I have used chestnut products...

Chrome slimline with Comfort centre band in crosscut spalted beech and fitted with a stylus tip. Finished with melamine lacquer.
