Miroku_Dave Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Here’s a few of blades that I’ve just finished. I used some nice woods and had a bit of fun with these. Ive left the steel a bit rough, these are knives to be used and abused but still look a bit pretty. Couldn’t be happier! On a different note, The missus has just bought me a lathe as a 20th wedding anniversary present so I’ve had a go at turning some Pens. It’s a bit addictive! I used mainly woods but then tried a block of recycled plastic and it’s turned out amazing! I can see this getting expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Very good stuff like the one at the top on another note do people on PW know how to use a pen 🤔 most are still chiseling stone blocks and cave painting 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob85 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Lovely work, did you get a purely wood working lathe? I'm trying to get a small engineering lathe myself on the likes of evilbay but at present even well clapped out 2nd hand ones are going for silly prices, or decent priced ones will not post to northern ireland 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason g Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 What sort of proce do you sell your knifes for if you don't mind the late ask thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I was gifted a hand turned pen from my cousin on Australia, he makes them along with other wooden craft items. Though lovely to look at and nice gift, I don't like the feel of them in the hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkin Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Got to say knifes look good did you make the blades from scratch or do them yourself ? I've been thinking of making some and was told old land rover leaf springs are good for that ,hard and good thickness All the best keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Love those knives! A lovely smooth grind - I take it you have a belt sander? Is the black wood bog oak? I've tried a bit with it and while it looks great, it splits very easily. Top job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Al, Yes its bog oak mate, I buy it from GFS Knife supplies and so far haven't had any splitting. Its hard as rock though and a nightmare to sand! I have a bet sander from downland engineering but saving the pennies to upgrade to a proper job one!

I like the idea if using leaf springs but i use 8670 flat stock at the minute, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
