November Turnings

I really like the bottle opener. Makes me think adding one of those water decals with someone’s favorite brand would be the final touch. I have bought the blank sheets before and just run through the printer. All the others look great too, just like the bottle shape one best. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice Chris. Send me an address in a pm and let me send you a little Christmas present of some exotic wood I have laying around the shop that you could have some fun with. Totally different for making cutting boards isn’t it.

@Al – Funny thing about the beer decal/label. I thought about the same thing. I printed out some labels and eventually got scared off. My fear is that unless you place the label under a durable clear coat it will chip or tear off when placed into a drawer. I’d hate to have a really cool turning with a tattered label. I might experiment with the concept and some epoxy or poly. Thanks for the comments.

There all great. With that said, I really like the bottle opener! A real beauty! For some reason the shape of it is very appeling. Now lets get to the the Mach 3’s Those are way cool and such a good idea to spice it up. I didn’t know they had these. I think I might have to get a lathe now. Blondie is going to mad at you, LOL But shes use to me buying tools for the last 20 ys.

Great work they will love them.

very impressive! I especially like the razor handles!

@Ken – Sorry Blondie. Lathes pay off big with lots of fun projects around the house. My one and only tip about buying a lathe… go with a midi. Because after the first pen you turn, you’ll immediately come up with other bigger projects you want to make.

-- Measure, cut, curse, repeat.

great projects. your christmas shopping is now done. now go buy a tool for yourself.

Nice collection of projects. I need to do a few things besides the pens. I actually asked for a Razor handle as a possible Christmas gift. Thought it would be a neat project.

Thanks for sharing.

I like the shape of the opener. I did one similar, but it was just the neck of the bottle.

As for having a tattered label, it actually might look good. Like an old friendly beer bottle. You could finish it under a few coats of CA for durability if you wanted.

Good advice. thx…
