Stunning detail and skill, your a true craftsman.

Thanks ever so much Tom for the info, I'll try and get over to colne when I can. My son plays at holt house rugby club there on a Saturday. I've put a few pics of my collection of tools which has been an ongoing collection for me for many years. I've been interested in tools ever since being a...

Tools look great Tom, Great job cleaning them up. I enjoy collecting tools myself also and have found a lot of the older ones were much better built for the job. I visit Burnley every weekend,which is near to you from where I live over in Cheshire and have found a great tool stall in the...

Non the less it's a superb piece to be proud of. Love the pics on the link, I need to have a good look later tonight. Awesome!

What a superb job you've made. I'm really impressed with the detail of the embossing. Is this stamped in manualy with a punch. The colour is really rich, and even the rivets have a good amount of detail. Looks great.

Fantastic, what a stunning shape. I really like those a lot . Really impressed.

A..ha.. Understand, I've started using the gorilla glue, the one for metal and wood.. Looks like syrup. There's another that is specific for wood also. I've found that it expands which makes for tight joint. I do like epoxy myself though, especially the rapid 10min stuff works really well. The...

Thanks ever so much for the kind replies, this was my second bowl, I made 4 in total and started to get the hang of what each tool did, I must say though that this was a little to big for the machine really and took quite a bit of effort to keep it concentric on the spindle ... To much weight...

Hey Bobnewboy, That's stunning work there, really good... Your photos are so vivid, the colours are quite something... Really nice .

Great work John, very neat and well presented. Colour looks really rich. Does this serve as an overstrike protection also. I haven't done much with an axe as yet but assume this to be the main purpose aswell as looking good also. Dave.

Fantastic work, really nice. How did you start,or where did you start and have you any basic advice for making one ...

Great work, look fantastic. What have you used to attach the handles... Dave .

Thanks ever so much for the advice and link, I'll take a good look around

This was a 14 year old oak gate post from the top of my drive, I was quite upset to see a good solid oak post deteriorate so quickly. I had done some reasarching at the time of making the fence and it suggested that a life of around 70 years wasn't unreasonable..non the less I got to work making...

That's good advice thanks.. I'm trying different techniques at the moment and I had some spare time to use up, once I feel a little more confident in shapeing the wood I'll upgrade the quality and type of wood .

This was made from cut off in the local park next to work, so I decided to shape and sand it with a planer, hand grinder, and then used a forstener bit to sink the tea lights in..finally gave the whole thing a coat of lacquer... Cheers . Dave .

managed to knock this up in my lunch the other day with a hand grinder and flap wheel sander. Just using pallet wood. I'm really wanting to do this using spoon carving tools as soon as I can, I've been looking at the mora carving tools.... Any other suggestions on types of tools.. Cheers

Yes, sorry that's what I was meaning to say. And yes definitely it's does need a better understanding of the law, certainly by the police. The law as it stands now would work perfectly well 'if' it were used in a correct manner. The thing I was thinking about with regards to a licence...

Just purchased a Maxpedition condor 2... Good build quality, very comfy fit plenty padding where it's needed. Dave.

Hi chaps, this is something that I've been deeply reasarching over the last three months or so, and looking for greater clarification in the law. If you look at my post in introductions it gives you an idea what I've actively been up to. I've just sent a letter of today to no 10 Downing...
