Got another YouTube recommendation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlgFUolz-bk I feel so proud knowing famous folk :banana::banana::banana:

Hi folks, Can anyone identify this kit for me please? I feel I should know it yet sadly the name eludes me :sob:

Been rather ill so far this year and have done very little turning wise. Rather than just stare at the bedroom, with great effort I decided to get myself to the shed and try turning a pen. Started turning an Atrax on some coloured ply but I made a boo boo on the gluing and got nowhere. Instead...

Well we only have another 364 'til Christmas I can already feel the pressure mounting :rant:

These pens are made from New Zealand Bog Wood ranging from 600 years plus to 50000 years old.

Melamine users - do any of you thin it down and find it reduces the fumes? I like the finish, I'm happy with how to use it... But even with a good mask and using it outside for the best ventilation I can get, it makes me feel sick and headachey as soon as I get the lid off. I'm fine with...

Morning pen turners, and thank you for letting me join the gang. I feel like a beginner, though I have been pen turning for nearly a year and made a few other things too. Like I imagine most people feel, I'd love to have more time to practice and get better at it. Be prepared for some newbie...

Braided Lever Action pen blanks. No finishing needed, just install the fittings. Have a great tactile feel to them. Les

Polymer Bolt Action pen blanks I finished up for a customer. No finishing needed, just install the fittings. Have a great tactile feel to them. Les

I was not planning on going in the workshop to turn this as I had something else I wanted to complete. Anyway, this is a box made from Lignum Vitae and measures 4" X 3" to the top of the finial/handle. Sanded to 2000grit using woodwax 22 as a lubricant as I feel it needed nothing else as it...

Turned from a piece of Chestnut burr and finished with Danish oil and a coat of woodwax22. This has been the first piece after my hospital visit and boy did it feel good to be back turning. Size is 4 1/2" tall by 5 1/2" wide

Blank by Kenneth Wines was a challenge to assemble. Finished with 6 coats of Med CA buffed with Oil Free Ultra Fine Steel Wool to get the natural look and feel of wood. Dressed up in an Antique Brass Canadian Maple Leaf series Sierra. Les

Thought I'd have a look at this new kit. And what a pleasant surprise it is! It is genuinely different from most kits, in that the 4 bushes are different diameters, which give a certain feel to the finished pen. Given its price it represents good value for money and I like the acme threads...

Seed Chain pattern laser inlay by Kenneth Wines using Walnut and Maple. I turned and finished with MINWAX Clear Satin Polyurethane using my Dipping Method to get that warm feel of wood instead of that plastic look and feel of a gloss finish like CA. Dressed up in an Antique Silver Canadian Maple...

Laser inlay pattern by Kenneth Wines using Walnut Maple. Cherry and Padauk. I turned and finished with 6 coats of MINWAX Clear Satin Polyurethane using my Dipping Method to get that wood feel. I find using a Gloss finish on wood makes it look and feel too much like the plastic look that you get...

Black Palm Scales on Maple by Kenneth Wines that I turned and finished with 6 coats of MINWAX Clear Satin Polyurethane using my Dipping Method to get that wood feel. I find using a Gloss finish on wood makes it look and feel too much like the plastic look that you get with a CA finish. Dressed...

​​​​30 cal Bolt Action with one of my Polymer Braid barrels. Has a great tactical look and a nice tactile feel. Les

This is one of the Burl blanks I just got from Bucks (Thanks Bucks!). It arrived in the post today, straight down the shed :) This is a Knurl GT in 'gunmetal'. I really like this kit, it shows a lot of the blank and is a very nice pen to write with. I toyed with the idea of filling the...

What's happened to all the pens guys and girls? Over 1700 members - about 100 of us on average logging in each day - roughly 3 or 4 times that number browsing the forum without logging on. Lots of great discussions about tools and techniques, but where are all the pens? Have we all given up...

Hi all not posted / made a pen for ages - shan't bore you with the details but I've enjoyed keeping in touch with all the developments I was very interested in the CA comments by Walter, particularly as over the years I feel I have perfected it, but on reflection (literally) whilst they can...
