Yes, I'll do bone.
But Human only. Ok.... I have never tried bone, but antler is a common material. Supposed to smell bad when turning though. I'd imagine it's similar to severely burnt flesh, which I've had the displeasure of smelling on more than one occasion (not mine). Bone would be an interesting medium to work with, but the core being hollow may raise some issues, as you can see in the one photo, the blank is drilled out and a brass tube glued in. I'll look into it. And Shipping to UK Shouldn't be a problem, I've found Spain though to be ludicrously expensive (I was trying to ship some 3d printed parts there once). I'm also meeting up with a friend this fall who works for the BBC, so I might be able to have her ship them locally when she gets back home. |

OK, Last one for a while. I have to turn a Jack Daniels Oak barrel pen, and then a Bethlehem Olivewood one, and then I'll be set for the show this weekend.
But this one has been my nemesis all week. Broken tubes, stuck tubes, shattered blanks (at high speed!), etc etc. Finally got one. |

Going to order new rear shock mounts and bolt-in reinforcement plates due to a noise occurring after replacing the shocks.
Hurry up payday! Also, going to look into removing Clutch Delay Valve very soon. Found a pressure bleeder I can borrow as well as shop space. If I remember, may throw some pics in here.

Making some cheap night stands for the house we're renting, and the wall we have the bed along is kinda small, so I decided to use some MDF instead of oak or Maple, considerably cheaper. Including glue, paint, and screws, probably cost me $30. That's not counting the few thousand I have in shop tools, but those pay for themselves in other ways .
Oh, and I did some matched pen and pencil sets for christmas gifts out of an old counter top made of corian. The look like granite. I'll have to get some pictures of them in the future, didn't think to grab any then!. But here's the cut list, and the pieces as a gif. I'm working on a YouTube video, so I'll link that when I'm done. What you see here is as far as I've gotten so far, lol. All of these came from 2 quarter sheets (2'x4') of 1/2" MDF. I can't fit anything bigger in my car. That made the cutlist insanely complicated. The nice thing about these night stands, they're very easy to make. I'm going to add some flourishes to the sides, but if I don't all I need to make these is a Handsaw, a drill,some glue, and screws. Easy project. Of course, I'll be using all my tools I can, but for those with limited tools, it's an easy design. Last edited by Gargamel; 02-14-17 at 11:19 PM. |

Oh, and I finished my planer stand a couple weeks ago, was kinda nice to do my first woodworking project from scratch, from a Sketchup plan to actual product.

Walnut base and top ring, Select Pine for the segments, and 70+year old reclaimed Larch for the dividers.
Build thread at: https://www.woodtalkonline.com/topic...egmented-bowl/ If anybody is interested, but the 3 pics I posted pretty much sum it up, thread just has a bunch of back forth brain storming and the little details of the build. |
