Another first for me - I used some deep pour resin on pine cones. The type used is not supposed to require a pressure pot or anything external, just mixing and pour leave 5-7 days.
Well there were more bubbles than I care to admit and turning it was....challenging for my ability.
I thought...
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...

i live in london/surrey and have been trying to turn pens for around six months or so
started on a metal lathe that i have and have just bought a Axminster wood lathe.

Hi all my name is Alex. My father turned pens and now i am left with all his things. I am a carpenter / joiner by trade but most of his things are not of any use to me. Hopefully this post means i can post on the selling page. Thank you
All,
Starting a new thread as the old one I dug up had people no longer posting on the forum.
Firstly thanks to all who sent me comments. I now have a working set-up and I believe after this post I will be able to post pictures.
The long and short is it works, there are probably many...
Hi everyone.
Only 15 days to go before I traipse off to do a woodturning course with Neil Lawton and 16 days to go before I post photos of my very first attempts at woodturning.
Anyway that is not the reason for this post.
I have been following with interest the post by DJB Penmaker and his...
Hi All,
I'm Padster age 50, living in the midlands, potential newbie here... Why?
Well my first post was on an old thread from 2016 - that I'm hoping will get a reply. Rather than repeat here's the link http://www.penturners.co.uk/tools-equipment-and-accessories/17181-proxxon-mini-lathe.html...
I've been dreaming of making this one as much as I had the Ebony pen I made recently. I think they need to be a set! This was a commission for someone's birthday so can't post on Facebook but glad I can share with you guys :-)
But the title doesn't fix a time of making; so having moved from one forum to here I thought I would post some of the items that I had posted before elsewhere, and I invite you all to join me ie post some of your previous items that have not seen the daylight on this forum.
A small inverted...
Hey everyone.
I decided that I would take up a new hobby in lock-down and bought myself a lathe. Something that had been on my radar for a while, mainly from very relaxing YouTube videos featuring woodworking and turning.
I have been a pen enthusiast for years, I have a small collection of...
Not sure where to post this but I came across this image the other day and wondered if there might be a video of the process out there. Hope it’s ok to post the picture. Any ideas anyone?

Why oh why oh why:sob::sob::sob:
Hi all
I forgot I had joined this site but a turner some of you may know sent me a link so I thought I would post a couple of my pens. Any tips to improve wI'll be gratefully accepted.
Hi all, I ll put this in here for some Christmas fun/inspiration.....my friend Mik has been asking people on FB to post pictures of various pens from 2019 and it's made me think....yes hard I know,
But here goes......
Please post a picture and comment of what 'YOU' think is your best pen...
Is it me???
A quick look today at statistics, why is it 18 people have voted for POTW and yet just in the last 24hrs 54 members have visited the forum....yes 54 members 2000+ guests but only 18 votes.....
I don't expect to get many comments on this post as it may only be the usual 2% of this...
Rather than keep posting in Fredericks post I thought it would be a good idea to post pictures of my shelf unit which folds flat. This is the frame only without the cover it can easily be modified for a single shelf or even more shelves depending on your needs.
I think the pictures speak for...
