Made a chatter tool a time ago, used old blades of a jig saw, see pictures. Works great. Ad

Johnny, lovely small bowls, nicely added beads around the top of the bowls. Ad

I used the skew for these beads, the easiest way for such small beads. Thanks Johnny

Turned from a piece of merbau square beam of 10 cm. The base is 9 cm and height 32.5 cm. Finished with 3 coats water based acrylic paint. Greetings, Ad

First a table lamp for the renovated house of my daughter Karin. Yellow pine (nice smelling) halfround segmented lamp shade 2mm thick. Foot and stem made out of a 20mm thick rubberwood table top, so for the biggest part also segmented. The light source, an electricity saving lamp of 15 watt...

Hi Nev, how I do oval turnings, look to the next pictures. Just started with another oval bowl from a piece of a branch of a walnut tree, which I got from my dear daughter. Made this device by myself last year, but I notice that there is not much interest by woodturners in this kind of...

First, a segmented shallow bowl, made out of a massive wooden table which I got. The wood of this table is till now unknown, could be, white oak (personaly I think it is), but for the same money rubberwood. DxH dimensions 310x100mm Finished with blanc transparent decorative acrylic lacquer...

George, very well done. It's built up of several layers isn't it. Turning end grain especially for pine (was it that nice smelling pine?) isn't so easy, I reckon. Very nice shape. Regards, Ad

Congrats John, celebrate this with a nice bottle of champagne. Cheers, Ad =D>

I think that it is just as well that you aren't in the comp, because it gives us a better chance of a win :mrgreen: John, as a lone Dutchman, surrounded by all those English would not stand a chance to win....))) Ad

John, excellent candlestick, nice wood, oh boy, and of your own garden. One remark if you allow me, I miss a larger foot with in mind the stability, maybe not possible concerning the available diameter of the wood. I read in the past some articles about candlesticks, and they told me about the...

Got from my son-in-law a bunch of 50mm beech beams, and from my friendly wood supplier nice pieces of merbau. This is what I did with this stuff. DxH 142x275mm Finished with decorative acryl lacquer. Cheers, Ad
