    My Old Colliery

    Done a few of these Zeta Pens over the last few weeks as requested by some of my old Mining Colleagues. The Picture in the Pen is of Lea Hall Colliery. Over 2500 were employed at the colliery until it was closed in 1991. Some great and sad memories whilst working here.

    First actual closed end pen

    Hi everyone, I recently acquired a grabber mandrel (single size collet chuck) because I wanted to try a closed end pen. Next up will be a double blind pen, maybe with a clip. Pen is a Beaufort Ink Mistral. You comments or critique are welcome as always. Best regards, Tom

    Pen mandrel for closed end.

    Hi All, I came across a great article by Mickr on the IAP forum on how to make a closed end pen using a standard pen mandrel. So I decided to give it a try. I loved the process and my favourite part is the making and installing of the plug. I am glad I used a small piece of 7mm pen tube as...
