Look forward to seeing what you do Jim, that is making a pen not taking your kit off.



Bloody hitless! What you trying to do to me Phil! Looking forward to seeing the results.
Remember that customer enquiry I sent you the other day? - Well I lied!Bloody hitless! What you trying to do to me Phil! Looking forward to seeing the results.
Other than the Nibs and Clips i have everything to start making some Kitless pens. I had a few weeks booked this month but had to cancel them due to work commitments. Now i have a week booked near the end of the month instead. This is when i intend to make the start ..
I have a guy coming over tomorrow teatime to talk through the metal lathe with me and give me a few pointers. Looking forward to getting started. I know a supplier for the Nibs (), just need to find one now for the Clips ..
Is anyone else ready for this task??![]()
Well i ordered a couple of nibs from Phil early this morning Inky, in the hope that next week i can make a start. I have all the collets and collet chuck you mention .. I will also be looking at making some steel mandrels also, i got plenty of S/S from work to make these. Just need to push myself as there isn't anything else stopping me now ..
Agree about the clips, we will have to find a solution for this at a later date .. The first few will have to go without for now ..![]()
