weekend

Hi all, I have had a weekend away with the wife in the Cotswolds, We did Cirencester Park, Bowood House and Westernbert arbouritum, 3 days of tree's and soooo many varieties

So this time I got two pens! Both Olivewood hybrid's and both Headwinds... The first is the other half of the blank I blew out last weekend! Regards Padster

Well, the BBC for whom I used to have the greatest respect for as the great broadcasting institution that it used to be, are trying to send us all into a post covid vegetative state of moronic depression, blaming everyone else for the reason that they are where they are! Fortunately not everyone...

Hi Guys, For those down south! This weekend sees the return of Woodfest at Belmont (Faversham) in Kent. I have been many times and it has always been great. Last year's was cancelled due to the obvious, but if your at a loose end and are in the area it should be a good day..... Watch out with...

Yep I turned a new pen this weekend much easier than my last pen (haha) anyway here it is CA finish with sanding up to 2000 wet and dry then polished with three mop system as always C&C welcome. James :goesred:

My neighbours 11 year old daughter turned this pen at the weekend with minimal assistance.

The rest of what I did this weekend once I found things

Have been busy relocating my workshop, So not had time to do much. Finally got a weekend where I can find everything again

In case you haven't read my "introduce myself" thread....Hello :thumbs: Purple acrylic blanks.......is it just me or are they absolutely terrible to turn? Mine seem to catch, chip, break, and ruin my tools to an edge duller than a weekend in Brussels. And while I'm on the subject of dull...

It’s been a good weekend for practicing pens... Kevin:banana:

Well I have now received all my deliveries so will be casting my first blanks at the weekend! Fingers crossed it goes ok.

Only had time to get a couple done this weekend. Firstly a beech & unknown dark wood slimline & a beech & bubinga slimline. Regards Pat

Had fun in the shed this weekend for a change I only turned wooden blanks. Tried this one without a centre band came out ok but don't think I will be trying this again. A TM Delta in Purple Heart finished with melamine. Streamline again finished with melamine. Fancy slimline...

Again only just got round to taking photos of these !!

Morning ladies and gents, I had an awful weekend in the workshop this weekend...... I went to the shop Friday evening and cut, drilled and glues a number of blanks up (2 siroccos, a mistral rb, a Chairman fp, and a few 7mm twist pens of various names.) I drill on the lathe using my nova chuck...

Just bought a few bits and bobs to keep me busy over the weekend!! Just hope the pens are slimlines !!! Have to get two pens ready for Sunday! Should be interesting I have some bog oak, laburnum, zebrano, a couple of acrylics and an as yet unidentified wood!!

Got a couple done this weekend. I have got some melamine lacquer on order and looking forward to trying it out.

We're going to be adding these Coffee Bean Pen Blanks to our website over the weekend, but in the meantime can you spot the difference between the four batches?

Hi I have managed to get some time to practice a bit more this weekend... Kevin
