Hi All,
Not posted for a while due to work mainly.:oops:
I need some void free nicely figured attractive olive wood. it can be wild, spanish, bethlehem etc.
I'm looking for a length of 12" x 2" x2" or even 1.3/4"square would be enough.
I can buy or I can trade in pen blanks.
My collection...

One of the guys at the club is selling his small lathe, a Nova Mercury.
Its in good condition and he's looking for £100-120, negotiable.
The lathe is perfect for pens and smaller work and features electronic variable speed. I think you can see full specs on the Tecnatool website...
A month or so ago Neil Dyball kindly helped me out with some Elm burr. He wanted to see the pen it was required for.
Apologies Neil, I forgot but here it is now. I didn't go with the most highly figured piece you sent, this one just seemed to suit the recipient best.
Thanks for your...
I tried to swap a set of these recently for a set for the Talon chuck.
Well, the owner has now said they are for sale.
They are a set of the Mega jumbo jaws for the Oneway Stronghold chuck. I think they will accommodate 14/15".
He has only 4 buttons (8 are safer) so another set would need to...
An odd one I know but Ive got a set of Oneway Mega Jumbo Jaws that fit the Stronghold chuck. Unfortunately my chuck is the Talon so the jaws don't fit :cry: They are used but in good nick.
Dont suppose anyone is looking for a swap? :roll:
Just thought I'd ask.

I'm in urgent need of two blanks of Elm burr 18x18mm by 150mm. Theyre for a set of Jr, Gents as a gift and the blanks I thought I had,,, well, I haven't.:?
I can buy, trade, whatever is required if someone out there is able to assist.

His other vids are pretty good too.
Hope you enjoy.
I reckon it's between Tam or Chas to post the first one,,and No Pete a 2 foot tall rustic version...
Im about to buy one of the above but don't know for sure which to go for.
I saw a mix of Powercaps and Trends at the bash on Saturday and those are the two brands that I think it will come down to.
Is there a comparison/review of the two current models anywhere? Ive googled without success...
Im about to replace the workshop door with an outward opening stable door and would appreciate any pointers regarding:
Best finish, (hardwood door)
Rebate in bottom? Do I need one, Ive got a new frame and hardwood sill.
Best type of lock (Ive looked at sash locks but they all have that curved...

It started at £900 and is now down to £650,, seems a good price to me.
