Welcome to Merschwerks! Where I'm always learning and attempting new ideas and techniques. Watch me work from beginner to pro in my series of weekly videos. New videos every Monday!
Hiding in plain sight! Can this be clear-coated to preserve the color, or will it fade again over time, with no prospect to retain the purple (semi) permanently?
What an awesome generational toy. This is the kind of item I could see moving from generation to generation (as the tonka dump trucks did in my family). 2nd time I have tripped over your channel and finally subscribed. Love to see wood turning, although I am far more likely to be found in front of a metal lathe. If I may make a suggestion, you are an obvious craftsman, do more wide audience wood working along with your excellent turning videos. Not everyone has a lathe, or your skillset when it comes to turning. You might find your audience grows greatly with a little broader scope. For me, I love the wood turning, something I have just never been that good at, so I love to watch master work.
Thanks for the subscription and the compliments! I have a handful of projects lined up and there are several non-turning related ideas coming soon. I really appreciate the feedback, thanks!
Thank you! These originated in France and are typically not made from wood. I wanted to test making one, and after a week, I'm not super pleased with the results... Maple may be too porous for this... Perhaps these should just be made from ceramic, lol.
Oooooooothat color scheme is AWESOME. If I had the money my man, it would be mine. I LOVE collecting different pens. And when it comes to one of a kinds, I only have 1 one of a kind pen. 2 would be sweet. Eh maybe next time. Awesome job tho boss.
