    Didn't want to hijack Coll's post so started a new one. These blanks have been made for a couple months but didn't turn them until today. I have another dozen to finish. One is Hickory and the other Maple. Both with blue dyed poplar veneer.

    Worst Click Ever

    Bought a few of these click pens from Rizheng a few years ago. The click mechanism is a real POS. They look nice, but I would'nt even think of selling one and have doubts about giving one away. Sooo.... I come across them today and figured I'll give 'em another try. Nope, more of a POS than...

    No Shed Time For Me Today

    Had a fair bit of snow during the night. I was desperate to get in the shed today but despite all the shovelling and hard work involved and after 25 m our Aud was too knackered to go the last 5 m. I was really dissapointed but after she made me a cuppa I calmed down and watched a film on TV. :wink:

    Amalgam blanks

    Just a quick question regarding amalgam. Is this more akin to polyurethane or polyester resin? I got an amalgam blank from Vince at Turners Workshop and when I was drilling it today, the swarf seemed more like polyester to me. My concerns are really about how brittle amalgam is. :thinks:
