    I can turn more than pens...I think

    I have had this blank of curly sycamore that I got from Jeff for quite a while. Never really got the nerve to chuck it up. Well today either stupidity or machismo got the best of me and I decided to turn it. This is the largest piece of wood that I have turned on my lathe, and I don't recommend...

    A "Secret Sauce" blank takes it's turn

    From the mad chemistry lab of Jeff.. to the lathe o' experimentation went one of the blanks ala "Secret Sauce". This thing had the most wild spalting I've ever seen in something that was solid. And it had bug holes in it bigger than my shop. I filled the bug holes with a dark purple plastic...

    A different turn on the pen pic threades....

    I picked up a copy of "Woodturning Design" Winter 2007 for my dad for christmas. On Page 34 "Pen Photography - Part 1". Tons of great tips and simple ideas. I liked it because it shows before and after pics. I could relate as I have taken tons of "before" quality pics! Oh, also a...

    One Good Turn Deserves Another

    Yesterday it was the Walnut and Magnolia vase that I posted. Today comes another attempt at a modified slim line pen. The LOML had been hinting that she too wanted a pen but that I'd been too busy making them for other people. (I don't even have one I've made for myself yet.) Today I...

    My turn pen pics!!

    I was really feeling left out of the pen turning bonanza so I turned this cigar style pen and pencil set out of olive wood and gave them to a good friend for a Hanukkah gift.

    I did not turn this pen

    But I made the blank. I have a friend(D.Cbluesman) whom I collaberate with on designs. I made this and ask him to turn it as his finishing talents are well beyond my grasp. Bloodwood and aluminum. I started laminating woods for pen blanks about 2 Years ago and have been experimenting with...

    Learning to turn

    Well, I have taken the plunge and pulled out the $50 lathe (not even good enought to be harbor freight) that my father bought me with two complete sets of tools and turned a mallet like so many others have. I downloaded the plans from Wood magazine, glued up my parts and got started. The...

    A tale of learning to Turn

    The only reason I am posting this is to assure everyone, that I am trying to learn to turn with my Rikon Midi Lathe:eusa_danc I think it was almost a year ago that I took a beginner's class on turning. The first half of the class was the standard bead cove stick, which I was terrible at and...

    Well I guess its my turn....

    My name is Ryan Sellers, I'm 15 years old, and I have been interested in woodworking for about 5 years now. My first "shop" was a small corner of our garage I quickly filled with a Delta benchtop tablesaw, DeWalt mitersaw, Duracraft scrollsaw and Daytona drill press, as well as hand power tools...
