Thread: First seated pen

Great glue up, the colors work real well.
Dye the maple yourself or store bought blanks?
Seated for the entire process, bandsaw work included?
Would like to see a shot of your shop set up, have a customer who would benefit greatly from a well designed set up, he can stand, but not for long, not wheelchair bound but has to sit.
Trying to find him a table top bandsaw, he can't use his 14" floor model anymore, balance problems scares him to much.
Thanks for posting this, after 6 years ya still got the eye for it!

Beautiful, Toni. No holding you now. Great to see you back on line.
Cheers,
Shirley

That is a beautiful work of art Toni. Very well done

Hi, no it bought dyed maple, as for bandsaw, I got a stool that sort of leant on but that did not take long to do, could never do one of my patchwork one like I use to do, that we need to rectify a bit. My lathe is just tipped forward on an angle but needs more we found. I am using a cane to get about at this stage but very limited in standing as if I push it, my back locks up (and I do) hubby rouses. Lol. So he helpe me. We kind of set everything up in a u so the lathe and then one side when i spin the chair and I find my grinder and drill press, spin other way is my sander and mini bandsaw, if that makes sense on what we did. I got a big one but for pens, I love my little girl.

Hey Toni, nice work!


A bit of tweaking to your set up and you won't want to be anywhere else.

Great looking pen Toni, looking forward to seeing more of your work. Any chance of a pic of your lathe set up PLEASE?

Have a look at the Ryobi website in the US. They make a couple of bench top bandsaws at a reasonable price. I've got the 2 different sizes and they work well
