Well its a weekend so two visits to my workshop....ok the garage! Here's couple of penlights, I've made some previously but these were 'commissions' for the wife and daughter, wife wanted the camo, the daughters is the pearl. Regards Padster

Really sorry about what’s happened, not that it will help. Nor can I offer anything to help out - but I just really want to say how proud and humbled I am to be a member of a forum where fellow members are prepared to offer someone tools just for the cost of postage in times of need -...

I used 25mm MRMDF and didn't bother with a finish, been great and stood up to the abuse I give it.... Padster

@fleyh ah my mistake - I see what you meant now

@fleyh if you see post #2 @city17 mentions OpenBOM as a free plugin for hobbyists. HTH Padster

Sorry if I was teaching to suck eggs, and have to admit I didn't check - I'm sure I've seen others post from Lincolnshire so hopefully someone can help. Padster

There is this sticky.... UK & Ireland TIMBER YARDS - PLEASE Add Your Favourites HTH Padster

First 50 Calibre Pen, made with Wenge Regards Padster

First attempt at something smaller on my new lathe rather than the Proxxon mini I had been using for this type of stuff, in case you can't guess pocket penlight made with Acrylic. Regards Padster

I had a friend with this exact problem when he was considering a new lathe and wanted to keep his existing SC3, we both spent a very long time looking and also saw the only one that may get stock was Charnwood as mentioned above but I also found a thread that it was discontinued by Record so the...

So a few weeks ago you may have seen my first bowl I turned well this is not quite a plate or a bowl really, it's what I'd call a nick nacks tray... you walk in and dump keys and money from your pockets on it..... It has an unexpected resin centre....I may have got the bottom thinner than I...

So I have received notification of some shows... I have no affiliation to any of them and am only relaying what I receive in a newsletter so others know and may choose to attend as I've found it hard to find shows myself. Anyway.... Weird & Wonderful Wood - 14th & 15th May 2022 Haughley Park...

Lol what’s he got you doing? Padster

@MikeK as I didn’t see a thread by @Droogs I’ve created one, hopefully it will get some use and be populated! Regards Padster

As discussed creating a thread for upcoming shows and events that we may want to visit or to give notice of events that have bitten the dust like this years East Midlands Woodworking Show. If you can post the show/event name, location, duration, any website, ticket details etc. Hopefully we...

Mike as per my post, could we create a thread for events and make it a sticky so it’s easy to access and reference? Regards Padster

That’s a real shame, would be great if folks can post details of any shows that are going ahead… Maybe we should have an events thread? Padster

So in another thread you may have seen I was the recipient of an Axi Gift Card for Crimbo. So I went with said card to Axminster and spent a fortune more on a new lathe and chuck set up..... I turned when I was a lot younger, and a little bit again a number of years back, some will see I have...

I went today to the same store today, and even had nice gift card from Santa, unfortunately it was a conspiracy to just make me spend more…. I may have a new lathe, and chuck kit 🤪

Pete, I have seen that kit recently here in the UK so one of the 4 or 5 companies I get kits from must do it I just can’t remember which at the moment! I frequent another pen forum, and know some of the peeps post her too so maybe one of them can remember, but regardless all look like great...
