slimline

I suppose it was inevitable my Daughter in law makes rings and jewellery and all sorts of other stuff using resins and colour additives as a side line whilst holding down a full time job. I bought a mould from Pen Blanks and Moulds and asked her to have a go at casting a pen blank. Looks like we...

Made this Churchill pen set up. For me next auction dressed in Mexican Bocote a member of the rosewood family

gotta love a bit of bling, corian with crystal opal inlays on a fancy slimline.. i really must work on my photography skills :rolling:

its cooled off enough for me to get some shed time...found some of this (no idea what it is). thought it looked ok so had a go to see what it would look like polished up...seems to be red one side and blonde the other...i quite like it so will make up a slimline and see what happens...i think...

Made this one for an order dressed in Wenge

Just made this one a Fiona slimline love it a much better kit than the slimline and he same price it is slightly fatter than the slimline nib end 9mm centre and cap 10mm with a superior clip from Paul at Turnershop.co.uk

Made up three orders today the last pen I purchased the wood from China as tiger stripe but as soon as I cut it the smell gave it away its bocote

This looks like another burr.

Not sure what this timber is.

Thought I would show off some of my amateurish work. The resin blanks I made myself, the red one had an air hole appear when I turned it down, so I cut the blank back on the tube and added an African Blackwood slice and turned it back down. Maybe not ideal but I guess it sort of salvaged a pen...

Evening all I have been making two part slimline pens but having seen some of the things you guys are turning out I want to start making thicker pens if you know what I mean. Also, instead of turning a pen in two parts with a ring in the middle I want to have just a single piece to fashion into...

Fresh of the lathe just now I have 7 different coloured corian slimline pens

Found a coffee bean blank and that was it turned it for a streamline as it was to thin for a fountain pen which set the wheels in motion for some slimline pens and a Hybrid fountain pen was going to make a bowl lol another day tomorrow enjoy

Made a few slimline pens dressed in corian and one other kit in cast polyester

Just a few pens done and will be donated to the church where I had the wood from. Pen - Slimline Finish - Melamine Lacquer Material - St Peters Church Oak Pen - Slimline Finish - Melamine Lacquer Material - St Peters Church Oak Pen - Slimline Finish - Melamine Lacquer Material - St...

I am sure I am not the first and am equally sure I wont be the last that this happens to. I have a number of Streamline kits and a few Slimline kits to turn, I have 10 blanks prepared that just need turning. I sorted all of the kits out and had 3 Slimline and 10 Streamline, I turned the...

I decided to spend a few hours out of bed today and prepare some blanks for future use, I usually do them as and when they are required and only do 1 at a time. Just never occurred to me to do them in batches. Whilst searching through my kits I noticed I had a ton of kits that I have marked up...

its been too cold in my flimsy, not heated tin shed, plus storm eunice thought it would be a laugh to remove half the roof and turn the interior into a paddling pool..still, no damage to machinery, roof has been repaired better than it was before, the weather is warming up and my resin casting...

A red pen for a customer who wants it for a gift.

Anyone know what the minimum dimensions of a blank should be to enable it to turn fully a 7mm Slimline pen? I have some 13mm x 13mm and the hole drilled seems awfully close to the edge. On that size can it only be used for 7mm pens? Also what should the minimum dimensions be for an 8mm pen...
