nice

Many Many Thanks to Silver for the amazing pen boxes :thumbs: Took one of them around to my good friend (and client) and he is over the moon with them. So he now has the 1st of 6 pens (This one) Really nice pen boxes and I will be more than happy to purchase more :thumbs:

This is my first attempt at a fountain pen it turned out really nice. It's a Leveche.

Ok, this is my first attempt at posting photos... My son got me a lovely piece of wood called “Pink Ivory” Turns very nice and made a Ball Point & Fountain pen set out of it for a friends birthday gift. What do you think.... Only my 3rd ever attempt at such a kit :goesred: :praying:

Spent a nice hour catching up with Eamonn yesterday (@Silver on here), one of the good guys - there's plenty of them on here! Came away with a few of his lovely pen boxes, I'll post pictures in a bit. Thanks for the tea, good company and laser engraving mate!

Well Guys.... It always pays to be nice and i like to think were very nice on here... So i did Bammer a favour and in return he sent me one of his stunning watch piece blanks.... It turned very easy with loads of ribbons being produced...he included a blank depth so i didn't go too deep on the...

As the title says, New Leveche in Cocobolo. Nice kit, feels very nice to write with. Nice long pen Cheers Brad

The recent thread on the weird Black Palm has prompted me to post these two I made recently. Beaufort Sirocco in Brushed Pewter, really nice plating like it a lot. TM Kappa I think really goes well with the Palm. Peter

Well after all the pen turning I managed to have a couple of failures one was just me not thinking when glueing up and the second was just a simple break out due to possibly to little glue. Both of these could have been so easily avoided. The first was that I forgot to paint the tube and the...

The Thuya is a very nice wood to turn. The pen has a nice click action. Click pen in Thuya - YouTube

First pen of the new year, and a gift for a friend of the wife. What a nice way to start 2018! Happy new year everyone

After my success of turning Toni Ransfield’s beautiful polymer/acrylic blanks I asked Scott, Mr Blanks, if he could cast my other 2 set of Toni’s blanks in acrylic so I could turn my signature shape. These he gladly did F.O.C. & sent them back with a nice little packet of sweets for good...

All my best wishes to all the members of the forum, have a nice Christmas and a Happy New Year !

Anyone hoping that Santa brings something exciting for the workshop? What's on your list? Me? A bit more heating in my workshop would be nice right now. It's not got above minus 5 outside for a week now!

Just the final test for the Hydro Idea again, before I do a bit with a decent bit of melal, there was a quite bit of perosity in the Ally and it;s a bit under turned but worth trying I think, just need top get some nice coloured spray paints , Looking forward it as usual, roll on summer...

This week's Pen of the Week was chosen by Les Elm and goes to the Mistral in Honduras Rosewood Burr by Bammer Les said "A well turned and finished timber with a nice choice of complementing fountain pen frame and plating" Here is the link to Brad's original post...

Not sure if this should be in this section but it does pertain to bowl turning, if it should be somewhere else perhaps a mod could move it, and apologies. I have found a Arborist in West malling Kent, his name is Warren and his mobile is 07828 190 066 He's a really nice guy to deal with and...

Gearshift pen dressed in chequered acrylic. The kit is from pen-kits.co.uk and the blank from Turner's Retreat. The kit is good quality for the money.

I have some really nice Olive blanks, and I would like to try colouring one or two. They don't need stabilising, so what options do I have to get some nice solid colours in them?

I live at the border of a nice forest (Fontainebleau), where I sometimes see rotten wood on the ground that is, oddly enough, blue. I tried to get some infos, and I learned this is due to a special mushroom that gives this strange colour to the wood. The blue is very resistant: such a wood has...
