Hi all, Quite pleased with this one.... Dyed and stabalised, but still found voids so out with the CA:whistling:

A Wonderful Historic Pen. This Pen is made from Jamaican Cocuswood ( Brya Ebenus ) which was recovered from a wreck of a ship that sank in 1783 whilst returning from Jamaica carrying Cocus in its cargo. Cocuswood (Brya ebenus) is a beautiful wood and found mainly in Cuba and Jamaica. Very soon...

You have seen the pen before, but searching for something else I found this. I really hated that black final so I turned up a new one.

I been a while since I last used my lathe, I opened the door behind my lathe last weekend and found that red back spiders have taken up residence.:nooidea:

What a Waste, And I am not referring to the Ian Dury and the Blockheads song that I can no longer get out of my head :ciggrin: 12 yes 12 blanks ruined today, what makes it worse is that 9 of them (6 acrylic) I ruined whilst trying to drill the wrong size hole :rolling: For the classic Elegant...

I just found this, Not too sure how I found it but find it I did. Christmas Promtion PKSL-3 Slimline Gold Twist Pen Kit - Strongink Pen Kits Has anyone used them before and are the kits the same as other kits out there? They seem to be legit and I was wondering if the kits are the same as...

Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to buy a quality metal keyring ring so that i can make three personalised wooden keyrings. I have found plenty out there but the quality is not good enough to supply with the three pens that I am making. Many thanks.

I tried the other kit I had of a shock absorber pen, whilst turning it near the finish my hand twitched. The good news is that I found a 3rd kit to go at. I will give it a try once I get better at making the pens using callipers.

These are my first two pens - I was stuck which sub-forum to post in as there is one wood and one acrylic. Done on my Proxxon DB250 that I was repurposing - I think I've found a new expensive hobby ;-) Regards Padster

A couple of carvings recently finished from my box of part done projects., using my set of Pfeil palm gouges. Old Smokey Joe in boxwood stands about 250mm high and the frog about 110mm long in what I think was a bit of walnut burr, whatever it is I found it very difficult to work and really...

There seem to be many types of 'resin' blanks. Kirinite, polyester, acrylic, gps and more. What have people found to be the pros and cons of these different types please? Jim

Hello Everybody Just joined the forum and it's took me 10 minutes to find how to post on here:sob: Been pen turning since last May and picked up a lot of information off sites. Only just found this site so here I am. Really enjoy doing segmented pens and have just finished my jig for the bandsaw.

Here's one for you Mark, Following on from your "Drilling post".....not mine but found on a US post on Face ache.....lol Why oh why oh why:sob::sob::sob:

As a gadget freak and toolaholic i frequently find sites that interest me then forget where I put them!! this one popped up from a very old favourites list that I just found, it might interest some of you. Engineering Tools, Engineering Supplies lathe and workshop tools

Xiangyun Lever Action Pen made with purple heart and another pen with some other wood that I found and I don't know what it is !!!!

There is a moth in France whose caterpillars are devastating the boxwoods all around, it can be got rid of, but many people are just ripping up their hedges and giving me the wood so I have found a use for the thinner branches. 8 down 32 to go!! a few Xmas tree decorations :winking:

More experimenting today, this time it's furniture lol, still working on the legs but the seat seems to be going ok, This will hopefully be a TV stool for my granddaughter when its finished. Once the 3D model has been machined the centre is filled with Epoxy resin to bring it flush, found out my...

Hi I live in Cardiff and I’ve been woodturning for quite a while, but it was only last week that I made my first ever pen. I’ve made a couple more since and even managed to ruin one, (at least I’ve learnt that those things are really hard to pull apart and it’s best to get it right first time)...

Thought I would have another go at a piece of turning found what appeared to be a plain piece of ash in the woodpile, pleased with what I found inside. Finished with sander sealer and then put on my buffing system, I did add a coat of woodwax22 on top of that
