Show off stuff you've made (not only with CW)

[eelamb]

May as well show some of my other items.

Wow! You are the glue-up king! Man Ed, that stuff is incredible! That Vase should be on display somewhere!

Here's a display I made for my wife's beaded hummingbirds. I used the CW on all 4 sides and it rotates on a BB lazysusan.

Nice work Paul. The humming birds are wonderful also.

Music cabinet that my dad had started (L and R sides and top) for my mother and I finished building (assembly, drawers, and 'finish'). Was probably a 10-year project as he had started on it about 5 years before he died and I didn't get to it until about 5 years after he died.



More pictures of the assembly process are at: http://www.jeep-trucks.com/index.php...=music_cabinet

The piano I rebuilt while in high school:



And dad's old truck that he gave to me on my 16th birthday (before and after shots):



The truck was in much better condition when he gave it to me (it was still drivable then) than the 'before' shot - that picture was taken about 1995/1996, the after was taken in 2004. 16th birthday was the end of 1980. (Dad bought the truck in 1957 - it's a 1950 model.)

What I meant was I have seen kits with everything you need to include the mini lathe. I couldnt find that on that whimsy site.

eelamb is right, don't skimp out on your mini lathe. I have a jet and a psi lathe, they both work very nicely. Avoid harbor freight! LOL! Seriously though, the psi lathe's are good machines for the cost. You could buy it through PSI, but www.woodnwhimsies.com could cut you a deal on the same package if you are willing to wait a few more days. Just send them an email telling them what you have in mind and they will hook you up. They are fantastic people!

That is some breath taking segmentation! You are an incredibly patient person! I have a pile of scraps from making cutting boards that I keep meaning to do some segmented bowls with, but something always seems to come up! Awesome skills, my hat is off to you!

I have spent so much time doing woodworking for everybody but me it seems like. My machine runs pretty non stop and I am a hobbyist if you will. I just liked the idea of making your own pens and maybe gifts for the kids teachers and things like that. Definitely new to me but I do realize that I don't want to buy a lathe that will give out in 12 months. But I like the kits. Some kits don't have a lathe with them so maybe what I will do is buy a good lathe and then go for the kit. I have so much left over scrap to that I may not need that many blanks. I have scrap days all the time where all I do for an entire day is remill leftover "scraps". Thanks for the advice.

I guess I better post a few pens myself.....lol! Honestly, pens are about my favorite thing to make. It's a completely relaxing process after doing big pieces.

This is a 4' tall A-Frame sign I made for a housing community here in Lubbock. It is all ash that has been stained. The ribbon Is carved from a separate piece. All of the hardware on it is wood, the top hinge being a dowel hinge. I finished the sign with stain and then several coats of teak oil because it was for outdoor use. I wish I would have had the Carvewright when I did this one!
