TurningShop.com - Home of Harding Pens and Woodturnings
This Page is about my workshop. I make my pens, wood turnings and crafts here.
My budget is limited, so many tools and jigs, I made. I made the work bench, saw
cabinet, drill jig, tool racks, and some of the turning tools.
There is a separate page on my home made dust collector, and another on my buffer
created from a modified Ryobi lathe.
Thanks for visiting my website,

| Below is my set-up for drilling blanks. I use a gage block on it's end and clamped to the drill press table. A quick release clamp is used to hold the blank to the block. Click on the thumbnail to see the full image. |

This is my old lathe. I modified it to make it shorter,
then set it up as a buffer. The buffing creates the
beautiful gloss finish that make the wood grain seem
to jump out at you. For more info on my lathe-buffer,
