Could this be my "New Pen Tube Installation" maybe a Turner Prize could be on the way :thinks:

No its just a few pen tubes for upcoming Zeta, Omega & Alphas

Yes Brian get ready for lots of plastic pens :whistling::whistling:

I might have to do a couple of wood pens whilst i'm waiting for them to fully dry

I am very interested in what you are doing. I should like to asked what type of paint did you use, i cannot see from the picture, acrylic or other. Also will you be scratching them up before glueing them in. Thanks

Jestyn, see http://www.penturners.co.uk/turning...tubed-blank-installation-dont-look-brian.html for update

A lot of folk don't do this the same way, I started doing it this way after I could see brass tubes through a number of acrylics I did and I have just stuck with it.
