More turning

Post by Hitch »

Not been able to do any decent projects lately, and a touch bored today so thought i'd share a few little bits.

Done a few more little turned projects, progressed onto some slightly fancier pens too.
Small scale turning is nice and quiet, I can do these late in the evening, and can do an odd 10 mins here and there when I get a chance.

What to do with the offcuts?
Silver plated cufflinks, with a turned artificial (polyester) Lapis Lazuli insert.

Excellent work. The pics could easily be from an expensive bespoke catalogue. What do you do with all this stuff?

Getting the pics nice and clear is hard work. Might invest in a light tent one day, should make things a little easier.

What do I do with it? A few pens and bits have gone as presents, just finished a matched pen/pencil for FILs birthday as it happens.

The rest, sits in a box or on the hallway window sill at the moment :lol:
