pen

Hi pen people When I first started making pens I used to think it was important to try to "hide my workings", especially when using transparent or semi-transparent materials. I didn't like the fact, for example, that you may see the dark underside of the feed through the thin wall of a pen cap...

A red pen for a customer who wants it for a gift.

I have made a pen from start to finish without anything going wrong. However or but This is the first time I have turned a pen and I have not liked the kit. In fact I really, really, do not like the kit. Maybe it's the blank that spoils it, or maybe it's the gold, I just can't put my finger on...

Hi Pen People A bit of a beefier pen this. it takes a larger converter than I usually supply with the pens I make. It has around twice the volume that the standard cartridge converter, which is huge in fountain pen terms. It was more to satisfy my curiosity on how it would work and look, rather...

Hi pen people. I got hold of a really nice looking bit of dyed and stabilised maple and made this pen. It has sterling silver and sage green accents. The dye used was a teal colour, which is quite vivid in places, but it also has darker green hues along with the natural colour of the wood. I...

I am in the process of making a "Dawnguard" pen in acrylic. I have turned it without any issues and have polished it up, however when I tried taking the blank off of the mandrel it was met with a little resistance so I gave it a good old tug. When I came to assemble the pen I noticed movement...

First .50 Calibre pen, using up a small wenge offcut that I had left. Regards Padster

I got a parker ball pen given as a Xmas present several years ago. Its a click pen I first noticed the nib was not fully retracting you could actually write with it without pressing the click part. I gave the pen top a tweak and the whole thing ended up spitting its bits all over my desk. Having...

hi all, i was thinking ( dangerous occupation for me ), i know there are some very nice pen kits available, but i feel somewhat of a cheat...as in, the kits are pre made, some blanks are pre made so all i do is make it all fit together, if you see what i mean...im probly not wording this very...

Greetings pen people. Made this today. The wood is dyed and stabilised buckeye burr from a batch of different coloured blanks I bought off a guy on Facebook. The threads and finials are cellulose acetate and the accents & logo coin are sterling silver. Fitted with a Bock nib. I always fully...
