As CHJ's piece above. But make sure you that the cut for splitting it is in the correct orientation better images are further down in the link he posted above.

Just fancied doing that size as well as a good use of some of the smaller blanks other than small bowls. Having the flexi drive helps as it is not so big in the hand making it more comfortable to use. I use THIS ONE with the drilling head. And a better idea of size of size

Take frequent stops to rest your hands depending on the machine you have.

The texturing took about an hour I was going for the all over but the wavy look I liked that much decided to keep it like that. Many people have the fear of texturing a nicely turned piece that they have spent time getting right and achieving a good finish on, but it is just a case of having a...

Small hollow form 3" X 4 3/4" with an 1/2" hole sanded inside and out to 400grit then textured on the outside finished with ebonising spray and dry brushed with pink iridescent paint Ok I know it does not look pink

Thank you guys. I would not want to use it for rolling about on either. Don't know what happened but your link did not work. Regardless I still found it and remember reading it and some good work indeed, I had been thinking of making this jig for some time but like most things never got around...

Thank you both for the comments. I have left some grain showing through the paint which does not show that well in the photo Where do you think I got the idea from :lol: :lol: :lol:

Made from Oak and decorated with acrylic artist paint on the inside and Ebonising spray on the outside It stand 6" X 3". I made a router jig and used that to produce both the upright and slots around the circumference. Three slots on one side and five on the other just felt right doing it this...

I don't mind paying postage but I was just looking for a cheaper postage I have found many that give free postage but the can cost twice as much like the one in the link as Chas Pointed out. Chas if you think the one on Amazon is bad how about the price of this can

I have Oliver woodturning in one direction Axminster in another and stile and Bates in a third all about 20 to 25 minute drive in different directions :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thank you Chas. I am just being a skin flint at the moment. It is the postage that is a killer I normally get mine from Ed Oliver as he is a member of our club and brings in different things but he is on holiday before and during the next meeting. At the moment only want 1 can until I see him...

Ebonising spray where do you buy your spray that has the cheapest postage

Vipered I have just sent a PM roughly what part of Kent are you in

The cracking in my piece is down to the incorrect mixing proportions and not down to the incompatible products as both are water based acrylic types. A pouring medium is something used in pouring art world. Better to look at this https://youtu.be/mQys297OsGo which will explain a little better or...

I thought you might Stewart and not an airbrush in sight. Done with acrylic inks

Been in the shed trying to catch up this is how far I have got over two days as it gets too hot to stay in there all day. 25 light pulls from some of the oddments that I have laying around, I don't believe in waste. Then three tea lights one of which I decorated with chestnut iridescent...

Very nice indeed Paul love the figure in it. Nice to be able to turn something so big.

I think the medium dried to quickly which caused the problem I will be trying again. This was poring medium and three colours of inks. As for taking the photo's it is a basic set up and camera. as seen in these photos

Thank you AES a great little write up

Another experiment that went wrong but the wife liked it so I completed it. As you can see the paint shrank back leaving what appears to be cracks. Somehow the more I look at it the more I like it. It is 10 1/2" X 2" and I believe it is lime
