Have you tried your local gunsmith or gun club as they may know where to get it.

Thank you Chas. I think the munchies would not last too long as well as putting on the pounds :lol:

I needed a break from some of the little jobs in the shed and needed to get my fix of turning. Anyway turned this little bowl from some ash and a little coloured filler. Turned this with and undercut to match the outer shape. 7" X 2"

Very nice. It is surprising what woods we have stashed away for those just in case moments and most times I still can't find the right type/colour of wood for that little project.

Cheap is a false economy The list stated earlier I would change so that it read 3/4" roughing gouge 3/8" bowl gouge 3/4" skew chisel 3/8" or 1/4" spindle gouge 1/8 parting tool A flat scraper. All of these can be brought in the set by Robert Sorby at a lower cost than buying separately. I...

First welcome to the hobby of woodturning and you have started correctly by getting some tuition. As stated buy the best tools and equipment that you can cheap stuff will not last as long. Keep the bench grinder and don't worry about a wet grinder instead either buy or make some jigs. When...

Very nice Chas I like the tapered look. Busy doing odd jobs at the moment

Thank you now I don't want to use it and get the paint dirty :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is the first of some of the odd jobs that need doing around the workshop. I was given this vice and thought that before I find a home for it that a little cleanup and repaint was in order. A before during and after photo. Smooth Hammerite paint was pretty close to the original Record...

That means I will have to wait until October when you demo at the club. Hope to bump into you at the weekender.

I can come and heckle you Stewart.

I use THIS one from Woodart products it is the first one on the page

Have you still got the old one if so take it to a auto factors and see if they can match it, you will probably find it cheaper than if you could get one from a lathe supplier.

+1 for Phils kits I have just made a Tempest click pen.

I t may depend on how long the logs are if very long then the split maybe only6 to 12 inches from the end. As suggested split the one through where the split is you should get some small bowls or even some spindle blanks. The one which has the fork in it split through both branches right down...

Very nice the pot flows and the grain certainly stands out. Happy turning for 2020 to you

Thank you everyone. Now to think what to turn next

Thank you Chas tops and finials are one of those things that are difficult to get right some like them and others don't. design can also be something that can make or break a piece as well. Your comments are always appreciated this piece will sit on the side next to the tv for me to look at for...

First piece completed in 2020. Felt good to be able to start again in the shed after the festive break. This is the end piece which I posted in THIS THREAD Hollow form from spalted walnut. Quite punky in places but managed to stabilise. Decided to add a lid and final. I think it could be...

Thank you Robbo and Rick. It is now finished but I am looking at a top and finial. Should be able to take a phot tomorrow.
