I think you were a member when Waka posted regularly on his floor standing tool chest - I think I’m just an amateur by some standards!!!! Simon

When all drawers made and installed (without knobs) I used scraps of veneer to wedge them solid then used my Katsu trimmer router (with edge fence fitted and with a 2mm carbide engineering slot cutter) to reference off the side of the chest and routed two grooves. I did one side, then without...

Been a while but finally all done. Comments welcome. English oak frame, indigbo drawer carcasses / wenge fronts. Wenge inlay / boxwood stringing. Finished with chestnut lemon oil / overcoated wax on outside so dust blows off nicely!

I have a large crown RG I don’t use. Iirc approx 2” across flutes but may even be bigger. Some guttering on a stick! Drop me a pm if you’re interested. Simon

Completely blown away by both the gift I have received and the thought that went into it. Amazing ‘Rob Cosman’ hidden hinge jig, router cutter and pins etc. Also some lovely handwritten instructions and tips. Many thanks Mark (Marcos), will just need to see if my cabinet making skills are up...

So, week 5 takes another topic from the hat - Hybrid turning with wood and resin. Who’s had a go? Best suppliers of resin? Is there an easy / cheap way into go give it a go without pressure (vacuum?) kit? Turning - regular gouges or just scrapers? How fine to sand down to results in the...

Bumped as reminder

OK, so how many of us have a tool wall that either looks like or is on the way to something like this: OK, so that may have been HT stand at the recent AWGB seminar (plug - Paul H - any news on 2020??), but which tools do we really need? Any droplets of wisdom on the perennial bowl gouge...

Looks quite a haul. Do you intent to rough turn / dry or leave them to dry as blanks before turning? Simon

Folks, I saw this on the American association of Woodturners site but it has general validity. Do we agree? Padauk change seems extreme. I also have heard purpleheart goes through a similar change ending up muddy brown but have not seen it to that extent myself on the purpleheart I have...

Yew’ll enjoy tunring them lot!

So, allow me to through a random one in. As the Christmas markets / preparations / hype starts to get into full speed with the turning of the calendar page, lets spend a couple of days understanding what it means for us humble workshop warriors. What’s on you realistic woodturning toys...
