Hi all, Another stunning quick delivery from Penkitz and Bitz almost as quick as Next or Bohoo... Cheers Dave

Another pen made from vintage cellulose. This one has a number 5 Bock nib as the material was a little on the slim side and I couldn’t get a cap out if it that would be big enough to take a no6. Cheers Ash

It's been a long time since I have turned a pen......so I did... Burr Wych Elm which was a pleasure to turn. A good looking wood....wish I had more of it. Cheers Frederick

Hi guys, really like this kit, looks and feels premium. First time I've used it and the upgrade nib. I had to assemble the nib section myself and I can see it needs to go in further, what's the best way to push it in without damaging it? Cheers Dougie

Hi all, Never turned Turkey Oak before and , in truth, never heard of it. What a lovely wood it is and it turns well, or rather this piece did. Made this for a local firm as a give away. All for free, of course. Just trying to keep myself occupied in these rather difficult unprecedented...

Hi everyone, Just a quick question please. I am turning a large platter as a wedding present for a friend. I have applied 4 coats of wax free shellac to the underside and wondering what would be the best high closs finish to use bearing in mind the current weather conditions and temerature...

This is tortoiseshell cellulose acetate (modern). The customer wanted the keyhole breather in the nib which I think is a nice touch. It’s a 14k Bock. Cheers Ash

Nothing too stressful today. Enjoyed turning this. Plain and simple. Cheers Frederick Also finished this today. Spalted Beech although spalting isn't that brilliant but again lots of fun..... Stay safe everyone.................

A pen in Conway Stewart Classic Green and all the trimmings. Cheers Ash

Hi all I think this is a good way to use up those expensive off cuts. I really do enjoy making these.. a fun little project Cheers Frederick stuck to the wall again :funny::funny::funny:

I am not too sure about this now. It looked ok during dry fit in the workshop, but now not too sure. Turned out of maple wood. It's different that's for sure. The stem could be a little thinner amd so could I :funny::funny::funny: Cheers Frederick

Conkerberry,one strong favourite ,for me I like to extend the nib,off today as a Steward at our Woodcraft Guild Annual Exhibition. Cheers Peter.:thumbs:

I made this for a lady who has enjoyed watching goldfinches in her garden during lockdown. She asked for something to capture the essence of them, so I made the blank myself. (Why couldn’t she have picked Blackbirds instead?). Anyway I think it’s pretty close. Cheers Ash

evening all a few spheres that i have recently cast and turned cheers Andy

And just to complete the circle on this special day, here’s a pic of the first kit I made in gorgeous (?) faux lizard skin. I use it every day so at least I know it works! Cheers Ash

Finished this today, I hope these come out the correct way up after Pierre's helpful advice Cheers Frederick Out of focus a bit but YEAH........:banana::banana::banana: now I know what to do....cheers Pierre.....

Some pens...... Cheers

Hi all, Does anyone know what the tube length for a TM Epsilon is please? I would measure it against a new kit, but I don't have one. Thanks. Cheers, Frederick

I've been badgered to post ever since they let me out for good behaviour Accents are Silver ... Cheers
