Not been on the forum for a long time but have made a few pens lately & was wondering what the experts on the forum use to apply sanding sealer & melamine coatings. Something that doesn't fall apart or leave little bits of itself everywhere lol. I was using some kitchen towel but I am sure the...

I know it's a long post, but please have a read of this - it's important The software behind the Penturners Forum is changing, because the current platform is decidedly archaic! Back in the day, vBulletin was the best of the bunch. It's the software that has powered the Forum since the...

Just want to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Duncan and I am based in Stratford upon Avon. I have been a hobby woodturner most of my life, but since retiring 13 years ago, I have done a lot more stuff. My specialities are salt and pepper grinders, bowls, clocks and of course pens. All...

Hi all, I'm not really new on this forum, i was active here some times ago. For various reasons, including health, I was forced to limit certain activities. I am very happy to follow again the activity of the forum, and to admire your beautiful achievements Clem

Hi there and thankyou for allowing me to join the forum. I am pretty new to pen making but not new to spinning a lathe. I make traditional fishing floats and other items of tackle. I recently purchased the Axminster Pen Lathe for my floatmaking and it came witha mandrel etc so i thought i would...

Hello all and Phil for welcoming me into the “forum”. I know I’ll enjoy the forum and hope too contribute. I’ve done some pen turning in a day gone by and have recently began again. I’ve had a good few pens lying about waiting too be turned so decided to get cracking again. I will attempt to...

But the title doesn't fix a time of making; so having moved from one forum to here I thought I would post some of the items that I had posted before elsewhere, and I invite you all to join me ie post some of your previous items that have not seen the daylight on this forum. A small inverted...

my name is Len and I have been turning wood as a hobby for about 40 years. The extent of my pen turning has been with the simplest kits using wood and by using the knowledge contained within this forum try more sophisticated pen turning. The examples I have seen by the members on here are...

Hi Everyone, It's been quite a while since I have been on the Forum. I have been on the dark side for a while now and have just seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Had a few health issues over the past 12 months which laid me up and I nearly came to the point of selling up. I went up my...

Good morning, I have just registered to this forum to pick up tips and ideas. I have finally managed to get a shed big enough with space to have a lathe. I have never used one before but like the thought of being able to. Everyone on YouTube makes it look so easy but i'm sure it isn't! Advice...
