I hope it will do the job, and they normally sell well in past fairs. I have an assortment of tea light holders to make for her, so plenty of time before the 14th December show 👍 I had a few deliveries today of different tea light candle holders in glass and aluminium.

Thanks for the info, and I was thinking the same, regarding the the same pitch . I will drill and tap a hole a bit later and try it out, for fit.👍 Cheers, thanks 👍

Very nice Chris, and well done 👍 The family will definitely be pleased, receiving such lovely gifts.

Cracking job 👍 I bet you are popular, in your house, using all the cutlery. We can’t keep tea spoons in our house, as they seem to disappear.

I have a Bisley 12G shotgun chamber brush, and I want to turn a handle for the brush. The threads are 9/32” - 26 tpi What is the difference between a 9/32 - 26 tpi BSF tap, and a 9/32” - 26 tpi BSB tap, and are they different or compatible ? Why I ask, is because I have a set of the BSF taps, but not the BSB. Any help from the knowledgeable PW members would be appreciated 👍 Thanks.

Cheers Chris, I divided the circle and marked the lines with pencil and centre popped the points for the holes. All went well and I drilled a few holes, and annoyingly drilled a a hole off the mark, and noticed immediately. By then it was to late. I was going to be scrap it and start again, but decided to wait and see how it looked with the stoppers fitted. Luckily it looks okay, but I won’t make the same mistake again. The dark bottle stoppers are made from offcuts of Black Walnut, I had left over from the duck calls I made last year.

Thanks Dave, but I can’t take credit for the design. The design idea was taken from YouTube.

A few months ago I was kindly sent 4 bottle stopper kits in the post by Old Boggy, to try out. I had seen them advertised previously, but I hadn’t got around to making one, until they arrived off Chris. Since that day, I have made numerous different styles, and my daughter asked if I could make her some for an upcoming craft show in our local village hall for Christmas. I have a piece of wood 4”x 2”drilled with holes, which I currently use to store the made stoppers, but my daughter has limited space on her stall table , and wanted something a bit nicer. I finally found the style she liked and had a piece of Sapele which I cut into circles and drilled holes to suit. The stand is roughly 7” in diameter and takes up very little space, and holds 12 bottle stoppers. I made the stand today, and most importantly, my daughter is pleased with it. I am in the process of making her a few different display boards and stands for the the stall, but she keeps coming with something else to make, between projects 😀👍

Cheers, Dave and thank you for sending me the very nice pieces of Rosewood. It was only fitting , that I made my 1st fountain pen from the Rosewood you kindly sent me and posted it off to you. Hopefully the next fountain pens will be straight forward to make. There’s nothing wrong with old school, and if it works why change it. I have thought of buying a more modern lathe, but the one I have at present does all the things I want to make 👍 Thanks 👍

Hi John, I had this procedure done 18months ago, and had a small incision in the wrist. As sitsinhedges gives an excellent account of the procedure, and it’s painless and a fascinating procedure you can watch on the monitor, if your nosey like me. After the procedure you have to wait a while in hospital for the incision to heal and then your allowed out. Obviously you don’t do any heavy lifting with that hand for a day or two, and you just go about your daily life as normal. Nothing to it John and nothing to worry about 👍

So realistic, and such skill and talent to capture the image. Brilliant work and keep us all updated with your other works of art 👍

Very nice Chris and good luck with the sale 👍

Thanks Gordon 👍 I’m pleased they arrived safely and you like them 😀👍
