I'm hoping someone can help. I'm thinking of turning some handles and want to be able to swap out gouges as and when I want to. I've been looking and the hope/ sorby handles seem/are a little out of my price range. I was wondering if anyone knows of where you can get hold of the ferrel with the...

A dibber from a Rhus (staghorn) branch that we cut last year and some Tea-light holders from some hornbeam branches which were cut a few months ago from the garden

A few more things turned today. Kept me out the ☀️. All from some green laurel that the local nursery had cut down last week. When I told them what I wanted it for they were interested in what could be turned so told them I only turn the simple stuff (simple for sum but not me 😂) so a few bud...

Had a little time this afternoon so decided to finally use the project pieces the kids got me for Xmas. Also a tea light holder for SWMBO's birthday. I've got all bases covered as one sons a fireman and ones a paramedic so if it all goes t*ts up I should be ok 🤞🤣🤣

Finally able to spend a couple of hrs in the shed so came up with these tea-light holders for my sister's birthday. Apricot branch for the 3 tea light holder and Cedar for the single 👍. Still learning but having fun while doing it 🙂

I got some logs from the village pub🍻. In there for Sunday lunch and noticed loads out the back. Asked the landlord where he sourced them from and he said any farmer who'd had a tree come down let him know and off he went with his chain saw. Asked if I could take a few and he kindly obliged. Cut...

53 on the outside, 18 on the inside. Just a shame the body can't do what the 18yr old in me wants to 😜

Hi Rich and welcome to the club. When I started I was unable to get to any clubs or join any courses (cost ) so spent hours on YouTube watching and rewatching beginners videos and then got to like a few so subscribed. Then it was put some scrap wood between centres and try to turn something not...

Happy 21+20 Stig 😂. May not have been ideal but let's hope they get the little wrong -uns. That should cheer you up and then have a drink🍻

Sorry my warped sense of humour. It gorgeous and if I can have half your talent I'll be a happy man 👍. I've seen people on that video place who couldn't do what you do

Stig it's ok

Paid a visit to RHS Bridgewater today so these are not my wood piles but when the wife saw me with the look of " I wonder what I can make" I had to take a few pics. Not sure how much is usable but wanted to have a rummage to see but got the death stare so stayed away 😂😂

@Stig. Looking good for a table at the school fête. Love the different shaped vases. Unusual but still eye-catching 👍

Hi all, Grandchild No 6 was born in Feb and I've been toying (no pun intended 😁) with the idea of turning a rattle for him. I've got some beech, ash or sapele spindles but I'm unsure which one would be best. I think the beech and ash are non toxic so would be good for this project. After...

Looking good V8. Better than my first turned pen holder which had a hole off centre to put the pen in 👍

Would these be useful. Placed at strategic points for weight distribution. seem to be flush fitting. I've used similar to hang a display unit. Z Clamps, https://amzn.eu/d/9x118ot

+1 for tape measure/rule. As the in law always used to tell me, measure umpteen times and cut once. Still get it wrong though 🤣. They put the little marks so close together 😆

Damn you Stigmorgan 🤣

@Stigmorgan how about a video of how it's used 👍 Steve

Nothing ever goes to plan 😞. Turning the First bowl and bang. Massive chunk comes flying off ( didn't notice the split 🤦) so what started as an 8inch bowl ended up a lot smaller 🤣 and thought 1 more pass as you do and ended up going through the bottom 😱. So I started again on a smaller piece I...
