Definitely not Padauk - I'm very familiar with is work LOL!

Thanks, I can’t disagree the colour and grain are of that ilk

Can't tell you anything about this wood - found it under one of my bench's and decided I wanted bruised fingers so turned it square and bashed my fingers a few times as usual, decided not to leave the edge totally square as I like the way the sides developed into nice almost semi-circles anyway...

So this is my 2nd attempt at CrushGrind Mills, I've gone for a more contemporary design, and believe using segmenting accentuates the design.... The two mills use the following woods (NO BROWN IVORY!!) : Pepper: Black Walnut, Jatoba & Beech Salt: Tulip, Beech & Cherry Padster

Me too as I said I was just curious - like trying different things - seems like this is one for the scrap heap LOL

CrushGrind Salt & Pepper Mills, decided I'd try these after getting the mechanisms at a great price, needed a few jigs making as they were not as easy as I first thought they might be.... Top end mechanisms I think I've just about done them justice. The Salt is made with Ash & the Pepper is...

Sorry can't help here Stig...... BUT..... Watching with interest as I've never done this but curious about the answers.....

I have a Depstech WF020x it works with my iPhone and has been great on the occasions I needed it - you can get from Amazon or direct or various other sites - there may be ones with more bells and whistles now - but I got mine a few years back and it still meets my needs.. HTH Padster

Stig, Seems like you are in a tough place, and reaching out if only to us here is the first step… I have a relation, also ex forces (you mention the soldier in you) who was very high up in the corporate world, family kids etc, but he was struggling….ended in a downward spiral that was almost...

So I wanted to try something different, here I took a beech bowl blank and some panga panga and made a new blank, with a simplistic design an produced this bowl/platter.... Padster

Now this may or may not help, but I had had some small issues and ended up being recommended to look at Alex Snodgrass's video on YouTube. I watched it's simple fool proof and worked for me - but maybe because mine wasn't correct to start with, that said I have a foolproof methodology now so am...

@TRITON I have the Proxxon and have had it long enough that it was less than £200 when I bought it, I have no issues with it and it does everything I need - it takes standard blades, I use pinned but if I recall it might take pinless too. As with all Proxxon kit it's well built - I'd just check...

Small trinket box, pewter lid, made from a piece of Panga Panga.....

Been a while since I turned a pen, some may recall this is what got me turning again... Anyway a Hybrid blank I picked up at Harrogate - looked just wood and red but upon turning found it had this underlying yellow at its core... Padster

Bit late to the party, but if you look somewhere here there will be a thread where I made sled in order to flatten some slabs to make tables (tables should also be shown on a thread somewhere LOL)... anyway I've used it lots for this type of purpose and only have a trend T5 with 1/4" shank but...

Lots of sanding! 80 ,120, 180, 240, 320, 400 and even 600 on the bowl but not long... Citrus burnishing oil - did nothing to the bark other than the oil but 4 coats... Padster

So a while back I saw an emerging bowl, not long after I saw they cut some trees down at the golf club so I asked for a log or two...it was pine and has been in the workshop for maybe 6mths... anyway got round to trying an emerging bowl - bit of trial and error and the jigs took almost as long...

As I said in the start it's about ecosystems, I play a lot of sport still but never used Garmin and am an Apple user (have been almost since the beginning of iPod/iPhone etc.) so an Apple Watch Ultra suits my needs perfectly... but won't suit everyone, I also want all the health data, the apps...
