Two pens and stands

[Woody]

Fresh of the lathe today pen stands with a cub scout 100 year commemorative medallion which is going to my good friend Brian (Grump) for his brother-in-law's cub pack
The other one with a royal marines medallion set in the stand this one I am thinking of auctioning to raise funds for some more slimline kits as I have now run out

They are great Woody. Well done as usual.

Fantastic mate ..they are really nice. By the way I'm missing Grump so tell him to get his ass back on here sharpish ,also I think it would be an idea to have a whip round to pay for some kits for you to use, I'm game, is anyone else ? It's the least we can do.

Two more masterpieces Woody!!
!NICE!
How do you cut the recessed circle for the medallion?
Offset on lathe? Exact size Forstner Bit?

 

[bassethound]

Beautiful job on those Woody..

 

[Terry Q]

Woody when making the base do you use double stick tape or do you have a vacuum system?

Hi Angelo I use my chuck with just two jaws and a 4" x 2" piece of wood that I can slide off centre easiest way is to take a look at my youtube video Year of birth pen stand - YouTube

Beautiful work Vic, nothing new about that. Where do you get all the lovely corian. I feel guilty, being an ex soldier myself, not being in a position to help financially. I can only turn for short periods due to lack of breath and crippling arthritis, a bugger to be sure as I know many of you will know. I am badly doubled over with the damn thing.Moan moan. Try to keep my humour alive.

They are really nice Woody, I just love to see your work.
You make such wonderful things.

Dont worry Bill support comes in many forms you contribute in other ways by encouraging us to keep on as for pain believe me I know were your coming from but its no good dwelling on it as you say keep your humour up as well as your trousers LOL

Great video. Between my metal lathe and wood lathe I have five 4 jaw chucks.
All independent jaws. None of them are scroll chucks.
I like the one you're using.

Excellent as usual Woody, very impressive.
I'm with Ed on the support suggestion. I wonder if we could arrange something via Dan?

Revisited methods I could not help observing the care you give to each piece. Running through my mind continually when I give something is give your best which I do as well. Thanks Woody.
