work

How do you store and upload videos to use on forums? Its the non you tube videos I am talking about. I have tried using photo bucket but that didn't work. Any hints.:thinks:

Made this one a few weeks ago first time I have turned laurel, lovely wood to work with and nice grain. Its 6" x 5 1/2"

Grand kids came to visit us this weekend, one of the grandsons showed me what they do when work is slow at the metal works firm where he works up country! Log burners from gas bottles and odd bits of metal...:thinks: :rolling:

My first time working with S&B Inlaced acrylic. I must admit, this has been the hardest acrylic to work with! But the results are nice. Adie

Having never turned Acrylic before I though I best give it a try and see what all the fuss is about. I like the results but must say I still like wood better, although I think that acrylic is easier to work, well this one anyway. Rhodium Mistral with black Titanium accents, Bock nib all paired...

Never use this material before, so i'll give it a try. It turns out with following batch Easy to work and a nice bright shine, i enjoyed :thumbs:

Just to let you know that I had a reply from a gentleman called Mike who is a member of the site. He has kindly invited me to his house on Sunday to show me how it's done. He only lives a short distance from me. By the look of his work he knows his onions as we say in the UK. Really looking...

Hi guys, i need some of your knowledge here as i want to improve my work space. I'm looking to get some sort of dust collection system that will be able to hook up to my lathe, a small bandsaw, scroll saw and pillar drill that i currently use. I had a look on axminster but i am not too sure...

Hi all...didnt even know these kind of sites existed and found this site by chance...posted something on UK Pen Turners on FB...saw a link to a pen website TM...had a quick look at the About Me page...and here I am :) New to pen turning...but no stranger to woodwork in general...love to make...

That's what Ali says! A huge thank you to my good friend Geordie B (George Burdon) Knowing that I can't do any heavy work at the moment, he offered his help with the new workshop. He came over today and fitted the insulation and built the internal walls, a full days work and nowhere as simple...

I ordered one of these yesterday. Proops centre finder for round bar lathes milling drilling 3 8 or 8mm spindle. M0286 I didn't think I needed one as I've used other methods before but I've had trouble recently finding the centre on some tapered bar. Hopefully it will work ok as I've made...

When commenting on people's work what do you do

Too late to worry now. And the penalty for “Treason” is..?. from Larry Pickering. When our feminists ignore the genital mutilation, oppression of women, rape of little children of both sexes, we have a problem. When our Politicians condemn an elected member of the Dutch Parliament for...

Hi Everyone, I'm Miles and I got a recommendation from Dave Goodwin of Pen Kitz and Bitz to join the forum, probably as a result of me asking him 100 and 1 questions all the time, but he has been awesome! So my main hobby is cricket, but now with a young family, permission to go out all day on a...

Anyone know where i can order a personalised Branding iron type tool to burn my logo onto my work in UK ??

Hi guys as the title sugests...i bought this from the states a while ago as a bottle stopper blank, i was unsure if it would work with the fly but there was sufficient room to get some shape....good job too...i bought a couple :whistling:

Hi folks, I'm a newbie pen turner down in Brisbane, Australia. Sierra Vista kits are one of my favourites (got some second hand from fellow Aussie), but nobody sells them down here, and bringing them in from the US is seriously expensive with the current exchange rate. I thought buying some...

This is my eighth Oxford ballpoint pen, with an Aquabright Pink and Blue Swirl blank, both from PSI. I like the Oxford pens, they're inexpensive, easy to turn requiring only one body (the upper body is pre-made), and look very nice. I've made several of these for the girls at work, and we hired...

OK, today I turned my first ever pen. More a chance to test the lathe and my tools etc, rather than creating a work of art! I bought 5 Axminster slim line pen kits and 5 cheap wood blanks to start to develop my turning skills. After a shaky start (wasn't sure which way the bushings went on the...

Here's a work in progress. Pen stands waiting for their coins. These will be going to Blind Veterans UK. They are made from corian kindly donated by Woody.
