Hi all, Are there any spoon carvers out there? Would be good to connect, share info etc. I’ve only been carving for a year / 18 mths but have definitely got the bug. S

So as per ‘last project’ thread, I’ve turned a cherry cup / mug. It’s end grain turned, and suggestions on suitable product to seal the inside so it’s waterproof / does not leak that will take hot water for tea, doesn’t make your brew taste horrid and as a bonus, no nasty chemicals that will...

I don’t know for certain but last time I was in the shop I did notice the chap wasn’t getting any younger so may have simply retired and wound it up?

Had a go at making a wooden tea cup. Still not sure how best to seal it for hot liquids. Any ideas?

Using a jig from a generous secret Santa from few years ago, I had a go at a Rob cosman hidden hinge box. So lessons in really dialing in the routing the slot and also importance of really uniform / even grain. I thought I’d get away with natural variation in this oak but it was no where near...

Really nice work and great to see / hear from you (assuming you’re the same woodbloke who showed me how to cut hidden dovetails at waka’s bash a decade or so ago!

Yep - (but 1st world problem and I’m not bitter enough to not hope he’s still fit and well just not woodworking anymore it seems).

Sure. I use 6mm HSS and rough shape with flap wheel on angle grinder before going through the grits on diamond / Waterstones finishing with 14,000 for very sharp edge. I go for approx 30 ish degree bevel rather than anything finer as you actually want to separate the fibres to allow the...

Ive still got my fingers crossed although not expecting any more post until other side of Xmas now sadly.

I’m still looking up to the sky hoping I’ve been good enough!

Bump - last couple of days tog et involved!

one if the best things about Xmas to give, receive and see all the pics go up. I think I’ve been in this since first year we did it (must be a decade now perhaps?). I’d add my call for anyone considering it to take the plunge. simon.

Email on way - thanks Phil.

Vicmarc 300 if you want a forever lathe - love mine and cannot recommend highly enough.

You could simply snip off existing connectors and replace. The model car industry has a whole range for swapping battlers frequently and will deal with way more current than the Powercap needs. Example here...

I while ago I treated myself to one of the knew concept saws - really amazing saw so if you wanted to get yourself a ‘happy new year’ present then id recommend them. simon

Go on, just a small one……….

Not my work but this is the sort of idea. Obviously only limited buy imagination (and also no need to limit to spoons as could enhance all sorts of project id think.)

No - just protection for when not in use.
