How about you turn a 'skinny' disc.... do it in the normal way you would for a bowl i.e. with a foot on the base... this will become the inside of the wheel with almost a moulded in washer. Flip over and turn the other side.... as fancy or plain as you like. Drill a hole for the connecting...

another ebay item... 190340345865 somehow i dont think this one will sell.... N

Agian.... i'd love to have a punt. Storing is not a real problem for me, it's the transportation of it. I've got a trailer... but only a widdy one... 5 x 3 i think it is. If there's anyone else near me who'd be interested in a share get in touch and lets see what we can sort out...?? Nick

I like it just as it is..... Nick

:oops: hope i didn't tread on any toes.....?

The trivets were done on the bandsaw and finished off using the beltsander i got for my birthday..... http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp? ... =1&jump=48 a little tricky... but worth it.... got orders for some of those, some to use as trivets and some wanted as table (place) mats(?)...

I'm not an 'expert' but this is how i do it...... (i'm sure others will come along with add-ons or instead-of's etc....) start with your chosen piece of wood.... turn to round, square up and put a dovetail on each end. this piece i have decided will make two box's so part off in the...

Just nipped down the shed and finished it off.... here you go.... some pictures to see... a look at the inside too.... the bands follow the same pattern throughout held up to the light to see how transparent the ply is.... a few bits & bobs on the mantle..... as a...

Just sat here having a really close look at the way the knot crosses over & under etc... and have noticed that one band goes under - under - under- under - under - under another goes over - over - over - over - over - over and the other two under - under - over - under - under - over...

. Loz you're worrying about the kerf (blade) thickness unnecessarily... think outside of the box for a mo.... what's to stop you cutting a slot the same size as your inlay choice..? i.e. i used a piece of 1/4 inch ply and chose to cut it down.... why not leave it at 1/4 inch (6mm ish)...

. Like you Loz, and a few others i suspect, i've not been turning long... in fact it's just gone past the 12 month mark (and 3 of those i didn't do anything as it was too cold down the shed...!!). So i'm not claiming to be good at it, just got an eye for detail.... and patience.... you...

. if it's open sided.... then basically it's just a 'shelf' on top...? i'm also guessing it doesn't run continuously... say 5 mins every half hour max..? i can see you having no problems at all..... Nick

Hi Santos..... like you i've only been turning for a short while, and was also a bit wary of cheap grinders ruining my nice new (& expensive) chisels. I went for the second one you've listed.... but also invested in the Ax toolrest as well (similar to this one...

Bracky1..... i'm loving your pen..! If you've got any more like this for sale i'd be interested...? Nick

. In answer to a few of you... yes it was a bandsaw jobby, then finished off using my new (birthday pressie) tool... one of these... http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Perf ... 803526.htm had to send the first one back as it lasted about 30 seconds before the belt slipped and nearly...

agreed..... but would you have guessed it without further pics..? N

. A few pics of a group of items i made for a nieces birthday just the other day... a couple of Zebrano 'T' lights a small Zebrano Box........ and if you're very careful (and clever) all the grain lines up on the 'T' lights and box too, as the box was going to be (2 T...

Hi all I'm sure i read recently.... (but now can't find it) the Sorby Patriot Chuck... can it take, or to put it another way.... will the Axminster range of jaws fit the Patriot..? At the moment i've only got the bog standard jaws that came with the Patriot.... no problem, but i...

. hmmmhh...... :? I don't dislike....... but... possibly brown 'flat' leather (like a strip) without the crossover, and again a larger roll. Nick
