As a change from pens, I had a go at making up this little keyring. Made from Olive Ash and just over 2 inches long, it doubles up as a mini screwdriver. Quite pleased how it turned out.

A mate in the US got me this one from PSI.....Haven't seen them from anyone in the UK, but they are a nice simple kit. The bottom end contains a magnet so the screwdriver bits slot in and hold well. The wood is only 2 inches long as well so useful for using up small bits of blanks.

If Dan could stock these I'd buy a bundle for various birthday & Christmas pressies. I got a mate in the US who sent me a couple of kits, but it always looks expensive to buy anything direct from PSI with shipping and customs charges etc.

Really nice, I have seen them but never really appealed to me. But they do now..:thumbs:

It doesn't matter who imports them David the import costs are the same to them as they are you. The only thing that can be saved is the shipping cost as buying bulk compensates the import taxes a little.

I hve also seen them in Rizeheng so going straight to them and cutting out the middle man would save more going that way.:thumbs:
