year

I have a TM Ares kit that I have been told to make into a birthday pen due to lock down, Can anyone tell me what size the bushings are? they say Sierra but only have TM bushings, and it's all been in storage for a year !!! Thanks in advance.

Something New Seeing I cannot get out decided to do something new to me. Well I know what all the family are going to get for Christmas this year. Now to get good photos of them, easier said than done..

Well 2020 is not slow starting this year, but workshop time is proving elusive at the moment. A comission I undertook before the mad season....a rose gold Levech with custom rose gold nib and blanks from Scott Walker..(@ Saws). I wasn't sure about the black and rose but am so happy with the...

Just a quick note to wish all of you Members and guests a very Happy New Year full of good health and happiness. May all your pens be perfect. :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs: Pierre

I have made a new year resolution already and you all may want to hear this. I am going to make at least 1 pen next year:whistling::whistling::whistling: Do you think I should have posted this in the "Laughter, the Best Medicine" section

Unusually for me I've actually finished something, well as much as I ever will, trouble with carving is that every time you look you want to get the chisels out and cut a little more. Anyway the little miss will be pleased when she sees the puppy but my missus nabbed the wabbit so I'll have to...

Here’s wishing all our members & their families our Best Wishes for years festive season. MERRY XMAS & a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all. Bill & Evelyn.

And you all thought I was hibanating. I don't like copying people as I stated elsewhere but had to make these from the woodturner magazine last year by Colwyn Way. The angles are 17" to the tip of the wings and the minors are 13" to the tip of the Yellow feather.

I am looking for new ideas for next year years craft fairs. If you have any pictures of your stalls let us see them, perhaps it might give us new ideas for setting up.

As far as I can remember I think this is the first/only pen I’ve had time to turn this year, blank made by my talented wife Jackie, the pen is for our youngest daughters 13th birthday which is tomorrow.

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 Gents, seasons greeting to all, am I allowed to mention on here a specific supplier of pen kits and blanks etc, it's just the one I'm looking at now has very little on offer yet last year they sold everything, Many thanks Stew

Happy New Year Wishing you a safe, healthy, prosperous and Happy New Year in 2019 May your chisels stay sharp.

Just a quick one to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and I really do hope that 2019 is a wonderful year for us all. Thanks for all the help over the past year, I feel I have come a long way since joining this forum and its all down to the help and support given freely (and often :rolling: )...

It's been a year since I joined this forum. During this time I have learnt a wide range of skills and techniques. I have received great advice and even managed to get some tuition from a fellow member. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped me, it is very much appreciated...

Has anyone else been disappointed with selling pens at Craft Fairs this year, my takings now compared with last year is 52% down. Talking to other stall holders everyone seem to be suffering. Glen:sob:

Hi all it's that time of year again, Belmont Woodfest. Down here in the sunny south east of the country a little stately home puts on a festival of all things wood.....not massive but a really good morning or afternoon can be spent here....last year we had chainsaw carving, pole lathes, spoon...
