LOTR (Lord Of The Rings) for those not in the know..... now this isn't some clever Tolkien reproduction, nor am I a lord.... lol, but I have made some wood rings, set on stainless steel for the non inlay, and titanium for the inlaid ones, the woods used are zebrano, walnut and two in oak burr...

So some weekends after dinner my wife, daughter and I spend the evening drinking and playing a game some of you may know called Rummikub. I decided it would be nice if we had a wooden version that incorporated a tabletop board, the tile holders and border etc and of course the tiles. So this is...

Unfortunately it's just a tad out of the way for me.....

My daughter recently treated me to a load of wood from Yandles, this little bowl was made with some Sycamore& Walnut...

I have worked in Technology nearly all my life and whilst generally it has been advantageous I'm starting to see pitfalls, mainly as we go down a more automated/automation/generative AI route. I could start at the point where people are looking for employment and now CV's are autoscanned not...

Stig, I have to say I agree that this is much nicer - IMHO... great job!

Phil, These are Notus Kits from Beaufort Ink, you buy the pencil mechanism as an additional item, and in order for it to give a nice fit and ensure it all works smoothly you need to cut the spring so it fits the pencil mechanism as opposed to the included pen refill. HTH Padster

Most of you probably know I make quite a few pens, so don't always post them here... here are some mechanical pencils though, wenge, acrylic, oak & acrylic....

Just a couple of Cyclone Pens.... Wenge & Thuya-Burl

Pat, so the deeper one is quite thick at 10mm and the shallow is 5mm

Trying something new, coloured, polished bowls. The pics don't really do the colours justice, the deeper bowl is Ash, The shallow bowl is maple....

I have to admit I've been to Makers Central a couple of times, and decided it's not for me - there definitely wasn't enough woodworking, and the cost is so prohibitive for what you get - I didn't feel there was enough 'other' interesting stands and my wife and daughter didn't enjoy it either and...

Another Contemporary set of CrushGrind Mills, different woods for the pepper.... Pepper: Panga Panga, Mulananama, Milk Pear Salt: Tulip, Beech & Cherry Padster

Definitely not Padauk - I'm very familiar with is work LOL!

Thanks, I can’t disagree the colour and grain are of that ilk

Can't tell you anything about this wood - found it under one of my bench's and decided I wanted bruised fingers so turned it square and bashed my fingers a few times as usual, decided not to leave the edge totally square as I like the way the sides developed into nice almost semi-circles anyway...

So this is my 2nd attempt at CrushGrind Mills, I've gone for a more contemporary design, and believe using segmenting accentuates the design.... The two mills use the following woods (NO BROWN IVORY!!) : Pepper: Black Walnut, Jatoba & Beech Salt: Tulip, Beech & Cherry Padster

Me too as I said I was just curious - like trying different things - seems like this is one for the scrap heap LOL
