Morning all,
Fairly new to pen turning, but enjoying being creative and making some pens that people seem to have been impressed with. Until now it's mostly been in wood with finishing off with a beeswax based furniture wax (only because it came free with the wife's new coffee table from Oak...
One of the older PSI Americana first Dual pen kits. It's a cartridge Roller Ball and Fountain Pen combined.
This is a much smaller kit than most (As can be seen in the pic) A Converter does not fit in it, however its a popular kit with Ladies as its nice small and compact. They stopped making...
Hi pen people
Well, the sun was shining today and I started thinking of foreign climes so I made this.
Imagine the warm Greek sun rising over a crystal blue sea, OR, just think of a turquoise pen with orange ends. (Both work).
Accents are sterling silver and it’s fitted with a Bock nib...
Well folks this is it,
This is my 1000th post on these forums.
It has to be said I have enjoyed making every single one of them.

I carried on...
Found a coffee bean blank and that was it turned it for a streamline as it was to thin for a fountain pen which set the wheels in motion for some slimline pens and a Hybrid fountain pen was going to make a bowl lol another day tomorrow enjoy
Hi All
I recently got hold of some of the blue/green (Poseidon) Mazzucchelli Ceboplast and made quite a few pens from it. This material is becoming increasingly scarce so its nice to have some again.
It has a couple of properties that are a little different compared to other plastics. First of...
post this one up, but then i figured one must accept the failures and not just the successes..:down:
you live and learn....bummer though as this was my last pen kit...anyone know of any good deals going on
Had a bit of time today so I went to dad's and turned and finished a pen, whilst he watched, I then set one up for him and left it to him and went home. He cme over a couple hours later with his finished pen, he's 82 and it's only his second pen ever
Now then, I'm not saying I have, and I am not saying I have not done this before
Have you or how many times have you sanded a little bit too much from the end of the blank and tube?
If I had, and I am not saying I have, or have not done it, how far could I get away with.
Imagine for a moment...
