    Lets see your wood

    Looks nice 👌 I've spent my last few days sorting through some of the stuff I've had in the garden for a while, amazing how quick time passes, realised whilst sorting it that the mountain ash is more then 3yrs old now, one piece has the most amazing spalting, hope I can keep it in one piece, the...

    Post a photo of the last thing you turned

    A quick little bowl from some of the Lime I was given a while ago, I rough turned it a couple months ago, it feels very light now so decided to finish turn it to see how it finishes, probably one of the softest woods I've used, it sanded very quickly, it took an abrasive paste finish quite well...

    Lets see your wood

    An enjoyable day was had watching a wreck of a building get ripped down whilst using my electric chainsaw to split the birch trunks through the length, there's some gorgeous feathering in the crotch areas 😁😁😁😁

    Garage Shelves Advice

    I agree, I have what sounds similar to what you describe in my garage and in one of our spare rooms used for clothing, they wouldn't hold much weight but the link I attached above is a much much heavier duty shelf unit that can hold a considerable amount of weight 😉

    UV resin

    UV resin is used at the end of turning because the UV light will only penetrative so far into the crack, you would then turn it away and potentially find uncured resin, especially if you add pigments, much better to get the piece to an almost finished state then resin it and pass with a...

    Cars that make you smile

    Only have a bike licence so never driven on the road, my first bike was a 1998 Model G1 Kawasaki ZX6R Ninja and I absolutely loved that bike, nearly killed myself on it a few times and had to replace the engine once but it was awesome, 0 to 60 in something like 3.4 seconds and the first of the...

    Selling advice

    @HOJ thanks for the vote 😀😀😀😀 I've had good and bad experiences so far but it's early days and I'm only now being more serious about it, initially I tried using sites like Gumtree and Nextdoor but nobody wants to pay what something is worth and often even after agreeing to buy something they...

    Something new

    I've been putting this off for a while, some projects I will get to a point where the "easy" stuff is done and I will feel stuck trying to decide on the way forward, usually it's down to design, like this one I can't settle on how to cut the lid and attache the sides, today I decided to just...

    Lets see your wood

    A sad day, 4 semi mature silver birch had to be felled to make way for a new classroom building that is being build in the summer, a lack of storage space and not much time to process it meant I could only justify keeping the trunks, 2 of the trees had short fat stems that are about 6 foot long...

    Need to escape/reset

    I get time to myself, time at the lathe is time away from the world and my plant collection is growing keeping me close to nature whilst at home (have a new Monstera I'm studying how to care for)

    Need to escape/reset

    I know, it's not going to be every weekend and whilst Veda is out of work a lot will be done during the week as well as the weekends, a couple of friends have offered help too so I'm confident it will be done, the extra income is needed so that she stops stressing about not having a regular...
