Not sure if anyone in here can help but it doesn't harm to ask & I know people will do other things apart from turning pens lol May have a job where I would like to inset a brass square (100mm) into the top of a post, I can pocket the top of the post out easy enough so the brass plate sits...

Question for anyone who sells online & posts pens out to customers. Whats the best way to package & post them so they arrive as safely as possible please.

Congratulations to Brad (Bammer) on winning this week's POTW We have a dead heat for first place but fortunately both of them are Brad's pens so we won't have to arrange an arm wrestling competition to decide the winner. Two beautifully cast, turned and finished pieces, no surprise they shared...

Big improvement with the knee replacement still a bit painful and clicks a bit but it's getting there. Me and our Aud have been working on renovating an old Atlas metal lathe over the past couple of weeks just a bit of electrical work and we're done. I will post a few pics of it when it's...
