Hi all
Another newbi....
Living in Westhoughton nr bolton
55 years young...worked in clothing trade ..for 35 years + been in design for the last 15+
Working for a large body armour company...
Designing outer covers / equipment pouches & shields etc....has it's ups n downs
Worked in many countries including Morocco..Ukraine..Lithuania...to name a few...
Hobbies include riding my mid life crisis purchase...a big shinny red Honda 1500 Goldwing
Been keeping me from making pens for the last 10 Months or so.....
Started making pens after being left a large amount of metalworking equipment
In a bequest....but having no experience in metal...eventually found some use for the lathe
After discovering some pen kits on eBay....once tried I was hooked
Learned by trail & error...and you tube etc
Sold loads through work.....tried selling on a website I set up....much better at making pens...than web sites.....
Specialist pen is a bullet one...using used cartridges from work (we have 2 test firing ranges)
Looking forwards to learning & sharing....
Will post photos of my re vamped workshop & pens later on
Cheers....Graham
