Delivery from Turners Retreat

Thanks to Woody I phoned yesterday about the pencil kits for £1 each. They phoned me back and said they only had 70 left and they made me an offer for the 70 that I couldn't refuse, well it would have been churlish really and I am a sucker for a bargain

Well your other half said you did not have any lead in your pencil now you can tell her otherwise

It would take more than 70 of those leads to make any difference, maybe I could put them around the outside with a couple of elastic bands to make a splint type device

Are there any bushes for these or have they got to be turned between centres? I got a couple and never thought I needed bushes.

They gave me all the bushes for them, I am selling them at £20 per set

Sorry, there were no bushes, but it would be easy enough to turn some up out of Corian or Aluminium if you really needed them, if you only have a couple it's probably not worthwhile.

[Woody]

No Bushes mate they are very old stock

That's what I thought. I still need to get a decent 60 degree live centre. The one that came with my jet lathe just has a little point and ring. It's hollow for doing boring.

I will have a look at all the crap I mean extra stuff I have got and see if there is a live centre, I bet loads of people have 2 or more somewhere, but it's finding them that's the problem.

I have just read that the schmidt mechanism will work in the Cigar kit and some other kits that use the parker refill, I can't find a Cigar kit so I can't try it.

They will fit in most free running pens that take a parker refill I first come across them in a transformer kit it could be a pen or pencil but it didnt take off so turners redused them to 1/2 price them half price buy one get one free so I got a few hundred of them and still have a few of the mechanism's then stiles and bates sold them as a regency pen

That's interesting, is it just the refill part or do the other bits need to be used as well?

If you are selling 1 Peter I would be interested. This kit seems to get good comments about the mechanism. I would be interested to see if Taiwan could incorporate it into a Lucida style kit.

 

[Buckeye]

I am sure I can spare one for you Dan, do you want the kit or just the refill, is 1 enough?
