I found it interesting that he part turns the wood before gluing onto the brass ferules, lovely pen though & simple silversmithing work. Making FOUNTAINPEN / Rare Amboyna burl wood - YouTube

I decided to do a late spring clean of the shed yesterday due to having acquired a small amount of wood from the scrap bins at a woodyard I went to with a mate of mine. Whilst putting the wood into places I would never forget I chanced upon some Oak that I had forgot I had :rolling: so I ended...

Hi Guys, Just finished a Mistral fountain pen kit with black titanium fittings and black ti accents, for an author/writer. The wood is good an old favourite, Thuyr burl wood. Finished in CA glue, 12 coats, sanded down to 600 grit and polished to finish using 12000 grit and t-cut. It’s lustre is...

Looks like TM has ceased sell and to restock the Alpha pen kits. The picture and page to that kit is no long available. Nothing on his site to why they are no longer there. Kelvin

I have been asked to make a special Mistral fountain pen for someone and to supply it in a wooden pen box. I want to laser engrave a message on the lid. The box needs to be quite posh and large enough to hold a fountain pen. If someone could point me in the direction of some nice wooden pen...

Ok it's not a pen, but pencil! First attempt using some purpleheart, this isn't as purple as I'd like. I've cut some more blanks and put them on the kitchen window sill as I've heard sunlight can help return a better colour....we'll see! Regards Padster

So I didn't much like turning this but it looks way better finished and the wife says the photo's don't do it justice. Empress Fountain Pen, With Swarovski Element & 14K, dressed in Stabilised Box Elder Regards Padster

Made a Celtic pen using callipers once again, I struggle so much getting the measurements of the blanks spot on :sob: This pen is plagued with problems, one of them just makes no sense what's so ever to me. One end of the blank is level with the tip whilst the other end goes over to one side...

This is my first effort turning a pen. The last pen I turned was whilst on a course a few weeks ago, I have just checked it was just over 6 weeks ago :eeeeek: To say mistakes were made would be an understatement, First of all I used a 6.2mm mandrel not a 7mm one as states in the instructions. I...

Hi Guys, so I don't hijack Geoff 's thread.... Ideas to convert a std pen kit into a pen like the Leto... Just use a pin chuck and turn a stopped end pen? Drill through the blank and insert a plug... Turn down? Further ideas please??

Good afternoon folks, Its been a while since I have turned anything,been busy fishing and it's been too bloody hot in the shed!Anyway,a while back I purchased two of the new Leto kits from TM,part of their pro range.As the pics show,as well making the kit as usual,the skill level is raised as...

I Have 5 pen kits that I have no idea what they are and was hoping some of you may name them. Many advanced thanks, (that doesn't even make sense)

So first time I've tried making a matched pair, currently a pen and pencil but I don't actually like the way the pencil works as a twist mechanism, it appears better suited to a click style pen so I may end up with two pens :thinks: Padster

Pen I cast & turned for my wife, seeing it’s our Silver Wedding Anniversary today ???
