Another first for me - I used some deep pour resin on pine cones. The type used is not supposed to require a pressure pot or anything external, just mixing and pour leave 5-7 days. Well there were more bubbles than I care to admit and turning it was....challenging for my ability. I thought...

A selection of segmented snooker pens not a lover of the kit but a customer wanted them so here we are

Well it had to happen didn't it, I haven't used the lathe for a fortnight and it's got the right hump.... It seemed to be over running / taking longer to slow to a stop than normal, I put it under load to drill a blank and it refused to start when I turned it back on.... Pic enclosed:funny: So a...

So only two are Acrylic the third is from some cork bark that was laying around and I wanted to experiment.... Padster

Mark James posted a photograph of a similar looking pen about 3 years ago on IAP forum which I was most impressed with and always wanted to attempt something like it. I've already told him that I would be copying his plan. This was also my first attempt at a Gluboost finish.

Just experimenting with triangular design. The pine was a mistake, though I'm still practising on scrap wood. Wanted to see how it looks on Phil's new Etesia kit. All comments appreciated. Alan

I usually only turn wood but wanted to do something with Mother with it so tried this.

It has been quite awhile since I have been here. I was flipping through some of my bookmarked sites and this one came up and thought I would stop by and see some old names. Good to see some of the projects too. Just wanted to say hello and yes I am still making pens and also scrollsawing...

With much less golf possible this year I wondered if I should get a cycle ( yeah I know all about keeping death off the roads :wink:) so my flabber was truly gasted when my neighbour offered me this last week. A Dawes Nomad all terrain fully 40 years old but virtually as it came out of the...

After seeing Pierre's bandsaw box I thought that I would post these boxes that I'm working on. I have been giving pens to people on the front line fighting the dreaded virus and wanted a little handmade box to present the pens in. A doctor friend is working 88 hours a week currently and will...

Made these two pens just because I wanted to I haven’t made any for a while now

Well two in a week, wonders will never cease!! This one is for a very good friend, when he worked for Toyota he always had one of my pens( till someone liked it more!). He has changed to a brand new dealership and obviously wanted another pen. The blank was from Scott Walker....aka Sawes and yes...

Just finished this Chestnut Burr today it stands 6 1/2" tall by 6 1/2" across. Finished with sander sealer and satin lacquer, I then gave it a wax with woodwax22 as the satin finish was not what I wanted but the high gloss would have been too glossy. All body parts kept in the safe zone behind...

Not a very good photograph I need to improve my camera skills. This is one of ten the guy originally wanted me to make one hundred. I told him no. It's a hobby, not a business.

Fellow wanted pentel .5mm mechanical pencil parts wraped in anything other than the plastic barrel it was in.

Every time I try and put something wanted in Buy & Sell it comes up under selling.??????:sob:

Hi all Someone wanted a RAF pen. Cheers.

I just wanted to wish a happy new year to one and all, and to say Thank You to everyone for your contributions to the forum over the last year. It may be administrated by me and a small voluntary team of moderators, but this forum is everyone's, and I'm pleased and proud to be able to say that...

Hi All, This was going to be for a Rollester pen kit but I decided not to fit the parts. The wood was pretty punky and I didn't do a great job of filling. I wanted to see how this lovely Maple looked with a finish, so I completed the process. Maple burl pen blank - YouTube

We loved using the caravan we bought last year but absolutely hated the faff and time it takes to set up and take down plus as I like to clean it when getting home that has to be done berfor putting the thing away not to mention the stress I felt especially on the motorway with a large outfit...
