Well Edlea


I was looking through the 'Axminster ' book and some of the rollerball and fountain pens say a 10m drill bit is required. Hence my question.

BUT I have not got to that stage YET, I'm still trying to get my head around it all first. Like I said in my introduction. Bit like a kid, jumping the gun.


While I am here. I have looking trough some of the web sites and some of the galleries. What struck me was that so many are now turning to the ACRYLIC pen blanks. Whilst I agree, they look very nice, but are they wood turning? I am wood turner and these seem to be somewhat cheating. But then I am just an old fart and can't be doing with these here new fangled things.

 Added to that and going off on another tac. I will post some photies of my work including the segmented. That is, when I can work out how take a few pictures and up load them onto here. I so old fashion, I can't even use a mobile phone. I will have to get my great Granddaughter to show me how. She is 2 1/2 years and can use a Mobil.


By the way, Walter Hall guided me to this site. So thanks Walter, smart move. :bwink::bwink:
