ive recently got into greenwood spoon carving (amd having been a woodturner for over 20 yrs now will never take symmetry for granted again!). Anyway, always one to run before I can walk, I’m playing with some ideas to decorate and embellish the finished spoon - kolroising is a great technique...

I’ve a quantity of Golden fluid acrylics for sale. As used by several turners such as Jacques Vesery to embellish their work by dry-brushing etc. Most top notch turners use these for their colour / pigment density and UV resistance. They are a world apart from the budget paints. These are...

Just been watching some of the videos Richard Raffen has been posting. https://youtube.com/channel/UC2tEGrCP1GiVwfaT4K9bcNw A real breath of fresh air - moves tool rest without lathe at dead stop, spins blank onto a screw chuck etc etc all without loss of limbs. Irresponsible or just how...

I have an Axminster/ SEIG SC4 lathe. I would like to be able to cut a M 33X3.5 mm thread in aluminium. I would like to make a vacuum chuck for my wood turning lathe, so the thread will be to allow it to screw onto the spindle in a piece of aluminium approximately 100 mm diameter. The maximum...

Folks I have an old 14.4 V NiCd Ryobi angle drill. I only really use it for sanding on the lathe. The batteries have long since packed up as it’s quite an old tool. is it possible to buy a cheap and cheerful power supply of some sort that would allow me to use it as a corded tool if I...

New project taking shape - “seascape”. Inspired by watching a Mike Hosaluk demo and leaving it in back of my mind to muse for a year or two! So far I’ve turned a simple footed bowl (Mark Hancock - this was one of the extra pieces of wet syc’y from one of your Jamie charity days!), and...

Hi My sip air compressor won’t pressurise. The motor runs and air hisses out of the pressure switch assembly. The over pressure relief valve is seated but I think there is another valve in the pressure switch box that is not seating to allow it to build any pressure. is this a new pressure...

Folks Has anyone bought / tried these threading jigs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294082250975 I know Simon Hope does a great one but that is more than twice the cost than I can’t really run to for occasional use. Thanks Simon

So one thing I’ve never really been 100% comfortable with has been my skew work - Having watched Alan Lancer demonstrate on several YT recorded ’club night’ sessions I decided to give his design of tool a go. A while ago I picked up a number of Record HSS larges scrappers new as part of a...

So I’ve seen a lot about turners who use negative rake scrapers. loads of positives - easier to use, good finish on the timber, no catches, equal ability to shear scrape etc etc. In terms of regular scrapers only benefit I can see is that the edge / burr may last a little longer. so my Q is...

I’ve had an experiment at burning on one of my turnings. Inspired by the Turner Molly Winton, a basket weave type texture with some stylised flowers. Sort of thinking about some of the wild fires seen in US / Australia and new growth coming back. Would love to hear your thoughts and...
