in both turning and presentation - right into your home. Recently most positively reviewed in "Woodturning" magazine, the DVDs are

- We have been supplying the
Model T chuck
for a couple of years now but never seemed to find the time to get it onto the site! Now at last, just in time for Christmas (hint, hint), I have finally knuckled down and made it happen. The ideal companion to the smaller lathe, the Model T is available with either 3/4"x16 or 1"x8 tpi insert and priced at a very affordable level
Buy it today.

- Especially acceptable as gifts, we offer
sets of
woodturning tools
(but please can we call them tool selections instead). We carry a choice of sets, which make excellent gifts, as well as our very own ToolPost Journeyman Tool Selection which contains tools which you will never grow out of - strongly recommended and probably the only one where "will it fit into the pretty box" was never an issue during tool selection!.
|
|
- Whilst talking about things happening "down under", we're proud to have also been appointed as the first (and sole) UK distributor of the brilliant
Shellawax
finishing products from U-Beaut, based in Australia. These polishes create a superb finish in double quick time with very little effort, yet are amazingly economical in use. I tried it: I loved it! Now at last available in the UK to
buy on line. The
price and product information is also available for download now.
|
|
|
|
|
- Another unique ToolPost product range are our
carving,
whittling and chip carving knives. Produced to our specifications, from the finest materials and
available either as sets to suit various carving styles, or as individual items, there is sure to be something here that strikes a chord - and there are some rare styles you
might never have come across before.
|
|
- Hot off the (DVD) press is
Gary Rance's
new production "Woodturning Techniques". In a three-hour tour de force, this brilliant production turner gives an insight into his methods and shows what thirty years honing your skills - rather than simply your tools - can do for your woodturning. A very comprehensive work, packed with tips and techniques.

- I have a new favourite book
- and because I have bought my copy already, I don't have to wait to read it! This superb book, by pole lathe bowl turner Robin Wood is the
definitive work on the subject of The Wooden Bowl
. If you claim to be a woodturner or to have any feeling for the tradition of wood in the domestic environment, then you
need to read it. A great gift idea.
|
|
|
- If you are a seeker after the perfect finish on your turned - and other - wood products, then you must take a look at the
Beall Wood Buff. For smaller work, there is also the Beall Bowl Buff. A revolution in
woodfinishing. I wouldn't be without it.

- Well yet again we are here providing you with another way to remain safe and healthy in the hazardous environment of the workshop.
The Camvac
dust extractors and their myriad accessories are sure to provide a solution to any situation where dust extraction is a problem. With filtration down to 0.5 microns, this really is 'the daddy' of small workshop dust and chip extractors.
|
|
|
- Your health is important. Exposure to harmful dust particles can be reduced by the use of a respirator such as the
Power Cap IP from JSP. It's more than 'just' a respirator, its a bump cap and an impact protection visor too. We are also stocking the
closest equivalent to the now defunct Airlite, the Trend Airshield.
|
|
|
- Ever found that your chisels aren't sharp when you need them and the prospect of the arduous sharpening procedure ahead seems daunting? Well, no more. Take a good
look at the
Tormek, made by those wonderful engineers in Sweden. This sharpening/honing system
will change the way you work!
