Bowl Turning | Leopardwood Bowl
In this video, I turn a Leopardwood bowl. It’s fairly small at 4″ in diameter and 2″ thick. This is one of four that’ll be in a set together. The wood was tricky to work with. It has a varying grain pattern and is quite hard. In the end, it turned out pretty well. Shopify:…

Pen Turning | Bloodwood with Chrome Hardware Sedona Rollerball
In this video, I turn a Sedona rollerball pen with bloodwood and chrome hardware. This has to be one of my favourite-looking woods with its rich red colour and highlight accents. The CA finish just makes it shine. I like the lines of this pen, in the grain, shape, and pen grip. It seems to…

Pen Turning | Ebony Wood with Chrome Hardware Cigar Pen
In this week’s video, I turn a cigar pen with Ebony wood and chrome hardware. This pen is part of a custom order for a men’s clothing store in Toronto. Ebony is a dusty wood to work with, especially when using carbide chisels, but it finishes beautifully. I used a simple friction finish, Shellawax, to…

Pen Turning | European Round Top with Sugar Maple Wood and Gunmetal Hardware
In this video, I turn a European Round Top pen using Sugar Maple wood and gunmetal hardware. I like the grip section of this one. The bulbous part gives your fingers a nice place to sit while writing. These light-coloured woods look better to me each time I turn one.

Pen Turning | Curly Maple with Gold Hardware Virage Fountain Pen
In this video, I turn a virage fountain pen using Curly Maple wood and gold hardware. I like this design quite a bit; I’ve done something similar with other woods. I was worried that the light colour of the wood would clash with the gold but it turned out to be all right. Shopify: https://www.sanastationerygifts.comInstagram:…

I want to make a bowl tomorrow but I don’t think I’ll be able to. I mean, I could, of course, but then other things, perhaps more important things, wouldn’t get done. Not more important, just more urgent. Not more urgent in their gravity but in their scheduled order. Essentially, I’d miss some deadlines if…

Pen Turning | Maple with Two-Tone Chrome Hardware Cigar Pen
I turn a cigar pen in this video, using Maple wood and two-tone chrome hardware. These pens have a nice bulk to them, they feel solid in your hand. The Maple has a beautiful grain pattern that really comes through when the pen is finished with CA. Pens and other gifts are available for purchase…

Pen Turning | Sugar Maple with Blue Titanium Hardware Cigar Pen
In this video, I turn a cigar pen with Sugar Maple wood and blue titanium hardware. The pen is finished with CA, giving it a glassy feel. My lathe failed while I was making this pen so that set me back a little. The simple lines of this pen make it look sleek and not…

Wood Turning | Padauk Bowl
In this video, I work on a bowl made of Padauk. This bowl developed over time, eventually turning out differently than I had intended. I do want to see my original idea through, so I’ll order another square bowl blank. This bowl provided great learning, even through all of the frustrations. Let me know what…

Six-Board Chest Build | Woodworking
In this video, I go through the process of building my first six-board chest. It was a good challenge for me, with a lot of learning tacked on. The plans I was following were confusing to me so I had to work my way through a few issues. Overall, I think the chest turned out…

It is easy to fall into the trap of complaining without taking action. However, true progress and personal growth require us to dedicate ourselves to the work at hand. Let us remember that we are not entitled to anything merely by existing; rather, we must actively contribute and earn our keep. By abandoning complaints and…

Pen Turning | Palo Santo Rosewood with Antique Brass Hardware Slimline Pen
In this week’s video, I turn a straightforward slimline pen with Palo Santo Rosewood and use antique brass hardware. Sometimes, these seemingly simple designs require a bit more focus because there isn’t any room to hide small mistakes. Palo Santo Rosewood is definitely one of my favourites to work with.
