Oh, that co-worker had quite bad perverted imagination, but that's nothing, his missus has even worse, I can't say that I would have clean imagination, it is indeed rather dirty, but those two, just on their own class

Good honest cleanliving perverts.
You cant beat them.

+1 would pay for barret round in wood

And yes gearknobs! fecking awesome! maybe a nice bit of oak? Would look cool. and I'd have one again.

on the mention of wheels in wood, why not try as extreme as it sounds, make a single MINILITE style wheel in wood 7J with dish in a nice wood varnished right up. as a wall hanger/clock

[pyro]

nice, another idea, regarding clocks im on the look out for old mechanical movements on ebay.

ill have a look at the the barrett tonight, see if i can do somthing, shouldnt be to hard though!

ive some teak i can make a gearnob out of?
maybe some cherry, and possibly a bit of oak.

ive just been sorting out the wood pile so covered in saw dust and 2-stroke fumes

gorgeous smell. annoyed the crumpy gunt next door though

oooh Oak or Cherry....

I just want a nice one that is a rounded diamond so to speak, goes upwards but outward same time and then a nice rounded top mmmm with some lines in it, heak, even scribed with my workshop name would be coool indeed! Start getting your name out as well!

Something like this would go nicely with barret round?


Fragmentation type is bit more challenging to make, also requires more fabrication.

It is no time and you will need to get more machinery, milling cutter etc, not for long and there is desire to some CNC machinery and things starts to get out of hand pretty fast

This idea might require bit of thinking to pull it trough as it is perhaps not possible to make them in one piece, but ever fancied sleeping like kings?


One rather dangerous idea is then this:

It is simple to make, practical and might provide some nice things to eat, negative thing is that it can be used to scold you when your mind wonders off to dirty side again

It is easy to toss out ideas, but some might be bit too crazy, hopefully you can find some useful ones, cheaper than ordering magazine to pick ideas

Ben, get the practise in turning up things from whatever you have about dude Things will always sell, then go by what sells quickest as to what to keep making and which to leave for a bit.

thats my plans at the moment ish.

I tried to do a few craft fairs this summer, but 80 quid for a small table minimum is a hell of alot of mushrooms even to break even!

Ben

perhaps you should try selling "other" mushrooms too

Maple should turn well and give a nice finish.

As you will know there's a variety of maple found in abundance and considered a nuisance tree in UK so supply shouldn't be an issue.

I've just planted 2 Norwegian maples so give us quarter of a century and I'll get you a load

Just made a little bowl to see if i could, should be suitable for small things, like crack.






NOt got a chance to have a look at a wooden gearnob yet, whats the diamerter of the gear stick? ie what size does the hole need to be in the nob (giggty) to fit on te stick?

Ben

[jtbo]

That is really beautiful bowlthing, I like a lot how wood pattern came out on that one, also like the shape you made, well done

Unfortainely I don't know about gearstick size, my knob seems to be attached rather tightly to it's mountings... errr... In car, shifter knob, pfff, pointless to explain

[pyro]

and the lid a few hours later! only took 20 mins.

I'll get you gear stick measurements ASAP

Unless some ones got a 340 by them and reading this thread??? Gear leaver should be the same on all i guess?
