blanks

Having spent the first 25 years of my working life down the mine at Lea Hall Colliery I thought it was about time that I made a pen relating to the colliery. The blanks were made up for me by Scott Walker from Mr Resin Blanks and show a picture of the Colliery. Encapsulated within the blanks is...

Two sheds full of blanks and still can't find one of the right type of wood or correct sizes that I want. There must be over 200 blanks either bowl or spindle this is going to break my heart as I just may have to go and buy some unless I can get some sycamore

To add another pen to my new turnings using wood from the RRS DISCOVERY. Unfortunately I only a have a few of the pen blanks left for sale. See BUY & Sell Section Glen

Last February I had to go to Denver to see mum, so I visited a turner / caster while I was there. Robert Franklin, if you ever get the chance to watch his live shows on Facebook you should, great skills and lot's of knowledge. We made 8 or so hybrid blanks during my visit, Bob uses Alumilite...

He people I am fairly new to pen turning but have jumped straight in and also started casting my own pen blanks. I currently use polyester resin with mica powders with really good results but also am using enamel paints ( humbrol) to get none pearlescent colours, the paints mix really easy and...

Well, my Beaufort order landed today, Phil is a real gent....he swapped my order for these new Rhodium ones and I am so glad he did. The blanks are Mik Lawrence light speed and change colour with light refraction

Hi Gents, seasons greeting to all, am I allowed to mention on here a specific supplier of pen kits and blanks etc, it's just the one I'm looking at now has very little on offer yet last year they sold everything, Many thanks Stew

Just pulled this little lot from the pressure pots?

As I couldn’t turn any of the picture blanks today (due to them still being a little soft) I hada. Sort out of the workshop and found a couple of odd kits. I know one is a Dragon Pen but for the life of me can not remember what the other one is called :thinks: Anyway, both are made from my own...

Made these today (along with the wood pens) All kits are the TM Athena Click Pen One of my Purple and Orange Blanks One of my Pearl White / Black Lines and Glitter The last blank from a slab that Scott (Mr Blanks) made for me. The photos just can not do the blank justice as it really...

After much help and advice from Scott (Mr Blanks) and Paul (Bucks) (REALLY greatfull to you both for the help and advice :thumbs:) These are all done and will be turned tomorrow. Most are presents and gifts :whistling: Captain Jack & The Witch from Suicide Squad Captain America and Thor...

For Friends and Family and started early to get these done.. Why does everyone leave everything to the last minute :thinks: No idea what the wood is, they asked for something with a nice grain / colour. I thought this one fitted the bill perfectly :thumbs: Plus a few Bolt Action Pens All...

Since discovering that cross cut blanks showed the wood in a different way I have been cutting nearly all my blanks this way or at 45 degrees, problem doing this is that I now seem to be spending more time sharpening my gouge than actually turning lol, some woods like Oak seem to dull the edge...

Managed to turn a few of our label cast blanks this afternoon, the crossword one is one we made up for my nana with her grand & great grand kids names on ?

This little lot just went in the pressure pot a short while ago.

I ordered a couple of the new blanks from Pen Blanks and Moulds. The ones with a picture glued to the tube and cast in resin. I turned one down to night to see how they come out. It came out very well. Yes there is a join were the picture is folded over the tube but on this one you would have to...

Here’s a few photos of some of the pens that I’ve turned from a selection of our new label / image cast blanks, the photos don’t really do them justice as the acrylic is polished to quite a high shine, but they look quite flat in the photos, also I think I turned the blanks a bit premature...

Or is it Parana pine???? A friend of mine has just given me two good sized off cuts and it may be just thick enough for a few pen blanks. Has anyone worked with it and does it turn / finish ok? Cheers, Steve.

I’ve just added these Label Cast Pen Blanks to our website www.penblanksandmoulds.co.uk/label-cast-pen-blanks we’re planning on adding more blanks over the coming weeks, see website for more details.
