He makes it all look so easy,

I think by now we are all familiar with Grandpa Amu and his turning skills. His videos on YouTube give the impression (to me anyway) that he lives out in the mountains somewhere in China and gets by on a pittance. Well I was wrong on both, He is from Hong Kong SAR. So technically China I...

I somehow stumbled upon this little gem. Kintsugi from Japan. The music in this video is horrendous so put it on mute. Hope you enjoy

Looking for drill bits from 6mm to 15mm going up in 0.1mm increments. I don't mind if they are blunt.

Hi, I have been given a lump of wood from a mate, he has the other half. It has a sort of flowery smell when cut and is heavy, Is or can I use it for turning? Is it a hard or soft wood (My mate thinks it is a hard wood I think it is a soft wood)

I have just put a coat of Danish oil on a 9" x 3" bowl and I have to say I am not overly impressed. Will the look become more shiny when I put the additional coats on? (It's a minimum of 5 hours between coats so I will put on one per day.) or should I be putting friction polish or burnish cream...

@Phil Pascoe will you be holding the secret santa event this year? I very much enjoy opening the SS gift on Christmas mornings as I am sure others do. 🎅🎅🎅 I don't think I will be alone in saying you do a fantastic job year in year out (y)(y)(y)(y)

I am in a bit of a quandary as to using a glue block or continue using a screw chuck. I really like the idea of a glue block and would like to know if there is any steadfast rules regarding the following, 1) Overall size 2) Wood type 3) Glue gun or C.A glue? 4) Removing the turned item from the...

Hi, For the last 2 days I have been trying to remove a chuck from the lathe, it has reached the stage where I no longer know if I am tightening it or loosening it. The lever bar that goes into the hole of the lathe next to the chuck has now snapped, actually it bent and then snapped and the...

I have just dug up an old Pentax camera from the deepest realms of the cupboard underneath the stairs, we all have those cupboards it's where we put things so we don't forget where they are and as soon as the cupboard door is closed we forget all about it's contents. It is a Pentax K10D and has...

This is the second pen I have turned and only my 3rd ever thing I have turned. It is an Omega fountain pen made from Turkey Oak and finished with 3 layers of CA and burnishing cream in alternate layers.

This is the very first pen I have ever turned. It is an Zeta made from Olive and finished with medium CA and burnishing cream 3 layers of each.

Yes it has finally happened. I have finally ended my woodturning virginity. I made this small trinket bowl out of yew and finished with Lemon Oil.

I have a cheap bandsaw. It has a knob on the back that raises and lowers the blade guide height, at least it did have one until it broke. Does anyone know the correct terminology so I can google it and buy one? or does anyone know where I can get one from? Thank you Gary
