New toy to try

[rayf6604]

Just got another closed end mandrel to make 7 and 8mm closed end pens. I think slimlines could be made a bit more interesting in closed end form so we'll see what turns out.

Look forward to the results. I did have a think about the slimline closed end after Peter said about it in the thread where I was having a bit of fun about how to make a pen, but that is as far as I got thinking about it.

I have searched to find Woody's one that he posted, but I couldn't find it, it was quite a long one and looked so much fun.

I use the same closed end mandrel to make traditional dip pens.
They are based around a single 7mm tube at the business end.

Enjoy your new toy Ray..

So as to not loose the great job you have done of theese Rod,

Why don't you post a new thread with yours on so that we can all see what quality pens you turn.. Otherwise it gets lost in other threads and then goes off topic for the new toy so to speak..

 

[rayf6604]

These are great, thanks for showing them.

 

[Woody]

There you go Peter there are two of them a back scratcher 21" and a gesture pen 25" long

 

[Buckeye]
