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. |

These are my old lathes. I modified one 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, click here.

| My new Delta 46-460 lathe is larger than my past lathes and is allowing me to do bigger and better woodturnings. New turned product pictures are coming. |
