    One piece Fountain Pen kit?

    Are there any out there that folks can recommend? Nothing too pricey but I don’t want cheap either! I want something quick and easy. Blank will likely be some nice Yew if it makes a difference.

    A present!

    We received a present today. A friend of mine from a bit further up North turns wood despite being registered as blind. He makes stuff and fundraises for a brilliant charity Blind Veterans UK - Rebuilding Lives After Sight Loss Thank you Bill Mooney!

    Melamine fumes

    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...

    Biscuit tin guitar

    I’m back tinkering in the garage. Knocked out a biscuit tin guitar. I can’t play it I just thought I’d see if I could make one. It makes a sound now I need to find someone to tune and evaluate it.

    Custom Clip

    Ive have a request by a potential customer to make a very specific and simple style of pen. (See image). I would like to take the order but the problem is the clip. Has anyone made one like this? My though was to go to a local crafts person who makes jewellery, but I suspect cost is going to be...

    Oval pencils

    I have several antique pencil holders that need new oval pencils. Is there anybody out there who makes them or can supply them?

    Yet another first dip-pen!

    In Beech, tried to keep it simple and it turned out something less than delicate! Nice to write with though - being a bit thicker makes it easier for me to grip :thumbs: Learned a few things along the way, hoping the next one will be a bit better looking

    Sketch Pencil with Burr Oak

    I made a PSI sketch pencil for my Granddaughter to take to her new school for art lessons. I was surprised that you have to CA the plunger in, which makes it difficult or near impossible to strip the pen down again. Peter
