Hi PenTurners,

I'd like to introduce myself and my company.

Timberbits is a family run operation based in Sydney, Australia. (Sydney time is hours +10GMT.)

I'm proud to say that what started as a hobby is now a full time passion.

I am often away from the office, out fishing, doing deliveries and pick-ups or in the workshop (the place I love the most.)

I too am a pen turner. I have converted this hobby into a passion. I currently make pens and timber items for woodworking galleries, jewellers and special corporate orders.

I have turned thousands of pens and continue to do so, I'm roughly on 15,000 and still counting! This actually business started accidentally. At the time, there wasn't a huge range of kits available; so I started importing pen kits, first from the USA for myself, but as the volume increased, directly from China and Taiwan.

Being a maker for the galleries and tourist centres, I designed and had the factories manufacture the pen kits to specific Timerbits specifications.

As a serious pen maker, I understand the importance of quality, longevity of hand made pieces and hard wearing - long lasting platings. We are proud to offer kits made in Taiwan plated in Gold Titanium, Rhodium and Platinum - the best plating you can get in pen kits. On the flip side we also have the more traditional plating options; upgrade gold, chrome, etc.

I also understand the other side of pen making. The person who does it for fun, the beginners who like to work with a budget, the retiree who has to live within his means but loves making pens. Price is important - get the beet bang for your buck.

As you can probably sense, I am passionate about pen turning. I hope some of this passion rubs off on you and you create wonderful hand made pens that you can share with the world on this forum!

Cheers,
David
