    Springs

    OK I'm going to make this short. What way does the spring go on a refill? One end of the springs are wound tighter together on one side, does the tight end point towards the refill or away? Thank you

    2 Arthritis pens

    Made these today ............... but neither of them work :sob: The pink one is that the refill does not come out when the plunger is pressed, very very stiff as well. The blue one I have enough of the refill showing as to make the pen usable, when pressing the plunger the refill moves but...

    Where can I get blue refill for slimline click - quickly!

    Hi pen turners I've been asked to make a slimline fancy click pen... Which is fine... But it has to have a blue refill. I've visited all my usual sources online, but can't find anywhere that has blue refills. They're the short cross style but with a long plastic part at the top. Can anyone...

    Jet black acrylic Gold and Gunmetal Sirocco

    I found this one hard work, took several attempts through all the grits to get it smooth, but worth the effort. I did have a bit of an issue with the blank at one end of the tube and had to take it down about 3/16", so had to shorten the pen refill by the same amount to make it fit. I won't be...

    Hi Eveyone Happy New year to all. As anyone used the Eliot click pen kit from Prokraft? I am asking really about the gel refill you get with the pen. I have made a few now for customers over the xmas period as present. The pen I like but the gel refill seems to only last 3/4 weeks. I made one...

    Sharpie

    Does anyone know what a Sharpie Permanent Marker kit is. Is it just a cover to go over the sharper pen or is that the refill. Confused:rolling:

    Tubeless ballpoint in snakewood

    Hello penturners! Somebody asked me to make a ballpoint pen in snakewood. I have never been lucky with this wood, it always cracks. I think it is because of the tube and the metallic parts that expand with the heat of the hand. So I just made one without any snug-fit metal parts: no tube and no...

    Hard Maple Refill........

    While set up at the Cranbrook gun show this past weekend a vendor who sells high end shotguns asked me what I could come up with for a pen that he can use for customers to sign for payment without damaging the screen. Made up a Hard Maple Parker style refill. Les

    Producing a pen using a fisher bullet 'space' refill

    Had a strange request, could I turn a pen from snakewood that could take a bullet pen refill, aka fisher space pen. Thinking snakewood was going to be a challenge to get, I see there is some in the UK but it's pretty pricey......no problem the client says. But how do I find a pen kit that...

    Tempest

    I really like this kit. Very smooth operation with a refill that makes for effortless writing. A Cherry serpentine and something I got from ExoticBlanks for a Harley Davidson fan. Finally stabilized cross cut Plum.

    Nib protrusion changed

    Two years ago I made a Streamline for my son in law and now it has an odd fault. The point only extends about half what it did when I gave him it. He says he has not replaced the refill, so all I can think of is something has happened to the transmission. I could just press it in a bit, but I'm...

    Sealer & Simplicity (Delta) and streamline comparison

    One for you to see the differences of the kit and the differences (in my opinion) of the acrylic and cellulose sanding sealer. This is not a scientific test and was just a botch up in my cave. I turned two pieces of spalted Hornbeam wood, off the same piece of wood (side by side) so you would...
