pens

A few more slimline pens to keep my hand in.

As a lot of you already know I am turning pens for enjoyment and selling any of them would be in the distant future. I would go as far as saying selling has not even entered my thoughts. Today folks, I have accepted payment in full for 5 pens :banana: Someone seen my photo's for the new series...

so far, there are others but theyve gone to new homes, ill put up pics when i get them

Since starting out making pens I have never really made any money. I have made quite a few pens now and people are aware I am a pen maker. I was recently asked by a business man to make him 10 pens to hand out to his special customers. So I did while discussing delivery with him another Guy...

A few last Bullet pens to come off the lathe.

Olive pens finished in melamine & microcrystalline wax. This pen is a keeper.

A straight slim just so you know I can still make one.:funny: It is dressed in tree wood & is finished in melamine & microcrystalline wax. I must say I much prefer my Marilyn Monroe pens to this Olive Oyle pen.:ciggrin:

Some pens dressed in olive & finished in melamine & microcrystalline wax. I

All, You all know by now I'm a newbie, very flatteringly someone has asked me how much I would I charge for selling my pens as they really like them. I have seen the quality of the stuff you guys produce and know I'm not there yet - but I've never looked into selling can anybody give me some...

These are my first two pens - I was stuck which sub-forum to post in as there is one wood and one acrylic. Done on my Proxxon DB250 that I was repurposing - I think I've found a new expensive hobby ;-) Regards Padster

If you have not tried colt drill bits before you are missing a treat. I have used them for a while now, but they have stopped making them. My old ones have made hundreds of pens and starting to feel their age. So when I spotted some in the USA at Taylor tools on offer as they had bought out the...

1st Pen is dressed in padauk. 2nd & 3rd pens dressed in olive.

A couple of carvings recently finished from my box of part done projects., using my set of Pfeil palm gouges. Old Smokey Joe in boxwood stands about 250mm high and the frog about 110mm long in what I think was a bit of walnut burr, whatever it is I found it very difficult to work and really...

Jailed finance boss stole £2.7m and spent £500k on fountain pens. Sadly he didn't come knocking on my workshop door Jailed finance boss stole PS2.7m and spent PS500k on fountain pens | News | West Midlands Police

Do you have a favourite type of pen? and do you find certain pens look better (in your opinion) made from different substrates? My overall favourites are fountain pens, those with a nice looking nib. I do like other types but I think those are hard to beat. I also prefer wood pens to any other...

A massive "well done" to Ratty. It's not every day you get to make pens for the world's political leaders, but that's exactly what Dave Ratcliffe of Devonpens has been asked to do, and in fact they'll all be on the top table at the G7 summit in a few weeks time. Congratulations to Dave for the...

Hi all, a very quick one for today... I love this material.... I can't believe its 100years old, well other than its smell:funny::funny: I was asked for a couple of quick pens to restock my retailer and this just jumped out at me..... Conway Stewart blank from Vince at Turners Warehouse

Hi folks, my name is Martin and i'm the resident newby. I have only just recently fired up a lathe (lockdown has its uses). I thought i'd start small, with turning pens. I have successfully turned a few slimline pens which turned out to make nice xmas stocking fillers. Now i'd like to move on...

It's taken me a lot longer than I thought it would to make these pens. It's the first time I've turned Thuya burr and I found while it's a beautiful wood to look at and handle ( when finished) it's quite a waxy material. It sticks to chisels also clogs up sandpaper so so very fast anyway I...
