Bits n Bobs

[stevenw1963]

Decided to use up some more bits n bobs:

Keyrings : unknown drab wood with green wax rubbed into the grain / african Blackwood / unknown wood.
All these bits were in the too small for use but might be useful one day pile.

Cufflinks in African blackwood

Touchscreen stylus thingymajigs - popular with the young apparently.
The first 3 are bits of plastic someone gave me, 4 is zebrano & 5 is padauk I think.

None of these bits were long enough to use on a pen, the stylus things are less than an inch in length.

Confession time: I actually like the 3 bits of plastic I used, first time I've turned plastic but it don't half make a mess!!!

Where did you get your stylus thingies from ?

Been meaning to try those.

Sorry very ignorant of me, I do like the cufflinks, look like gemstones. The green wax is effective as well.

Looking for some of these smaller things to help a mate with a craft fair for charity nearer Xmas.

the stylus thingies & keyrings are off Helen at Fun-e-turnz on Ebay, the cufflinks from Timberbits Phil

Excellent ideas Steven & a great way to use up odds & ends.:up:

I find the long ribbons of acrylic get everywhere, not only that but the slightest be of static on something & they seem to fly it

Even tho the little bits I used where less than 1 inch long the blooming stuff is everywhere & has turned my lathe pink - got the hoover out straightaway, my street cred would have taken a right nosedive if it had been seen :nonono::nonono:

Street Cred? When did you order some of that?

Steven,

I dont make bits and Bobs so I have just found a use for the boxes of unknown timbers of various sizes going out of my blank house. They should and do sell well and provide a beaut lead into selling Pens and heck most people dont pester with wanting names of timber for them. Thanks for showing your efforts do well with them.

Kind regards Peter.

Your bits and bobs look great Steven .....much better being made into a useful item than being in a 'might come in handy' box

 

[Jimjam66]

Lovely ideas there, thanks Steven!

Agreed. A useful collection to sell on the stall, and a great way of avoiding waste!

Now, is there a good way of recycling all my sawdust?

Bob.

Bob.

Yep, superglue it all into pen blanks & turn away :wink::wink:

Someone soon will cast the sawdust into blanks, you watch.
