- Your health is important and to celebrate the fact we have struck a deal to offer the JSP PowerCap Lite IP at a VERY special price - far lower than we have ever been able to
arrange previously. Exposure to harmful dust particles can be reduced by the use of a respirator such as the
Power Cap IP Lite from JSP. It's more than 'just' a
respirator, its a bump cap and an impact protection visor too. Now in a "Lite" version with no trailing battery leads. We also stock the popular Trend Airshield Pro.

years of experience. In this eagerly awaited DVD he shares his unique approach to turning bowls with clear and detailed footage of techniques developed by him.

Techniques"

- Most woodturners, carvers and furniture-makers like to mark their finished work with a logo or signature, showing both pride in the skills exhibited and helping to promote
future business. But what a tedium it can be creating a legible signature, or even worse, a logostyle. Here's a simple solution: low cost and easy to apply,
demanding very little skill - a personalised branding iron stamp. For more details,
download our price list
and see for yourself! Please order by telephone or email - because of the need to agree artwork, these items are not orderable on line.

- We've always been pretty hot on sharpening here, having brought some superb products such as the O'Donnell Ruby Wheels to the notice of the turning public. Now we have a
new revolution - the
Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) grinding wheels. Definitely the fastest and coolest-cutting wheels ever
available for the woodturning market and with virtually indefinite life. Not cheap, but excellent value for money.
|
|
- The ability to refine the surface shape and finish of vessels and other similar turned objects without recourse to abrasives contributes significantly to the minimisation of
airborne dust particlaes - an ever-present hazard in so many workshops. The
novel range of shear scrapers
designed by expert turner Tracy Owen and manufactured by Henry Taylor not only enable the turner to create a superbly smooth and refined surface on their work but also achieve that quickly and easily with a minimum of fuss, vices, hassle - and dust. Great tools!

- When is a pen not a pen? The answer is: when it has been enhanced using the
Beall Pen Wizard. This latest pearl from the brain of Jerry
Beall allows you to pattern the pen barrel with spirals, grooves, facets, twists, chequers, finger-grips etc. Leave them as created to enhance the natural beauty of the wood
or fill them to create eye-catching details to delight the pen user. Certainly makes your pens stand out from the crowd. And with a bit of imagination and skill
the uses can be extended well beyond pen turning.

- Favourite of many "name" woodturners,
Abranet abrasive
mesh is available in grits from 80 to 1000. We supply packs of single grits, mixed grit packs and boxes and rolls of single grits. And they call me abrasive (only in jest, I'm sure) - you should see this stuff!
|
|
- 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.

The Camvac
dust extractors and their myriad accessories are sure to provide a solution to any situation where dust extraction is an issue. With filtration down to 0.5 microns, this really is the Daddy of small workshop dust and chip extractors, which really does keep its dust to itself!
