So having a laser engraver / cutter has come in handy for the little wood tags I add to my wooden pens to identify the wood used.
I looked at the mess of drill bits in my drawer earlier and thought there has to be a way of organising these. So I fired up the laptop and made a holder with the associated pens at side. This one has the pens I made up to now and was more a trial to see if it worked.

Having trouble attaching pictures on phone will edit later

Hmmm.. good idea Scott. :thumbs:

No laser cutter but I do have a Rexell label printer so I guess no reason why that wouldn't work.

Set up time ? The labels on the pens were a winner they could be made in batches very suitable especially for wood pens very themed.

Didn't take long to sort once I figured out which bit was for which pen again. All in about 20 minutes to size up and cut it I think.
The pen labels I have saved template to cut 10 a time so can just change wording to suit what I need.

It should be the size of a tea chest by Easter :funny::funny::funny:

Yeah figured would need more adding over time. I put the Knurled GT on there and still awaiting kits arriving. In fact I just remembered I ordered fountain pen kit too. Damn.
