It's coming up to my birthday and my wife wants to buy me one of these I do like it and it holds 60 pens. I know Woody had a case, but can't remember where it was from, I wonder if anyone has seen others so that I can have a look and have a choice.

With the one I have shown I am not sure how easy it would be to get at the vertical pens around the 3 sides.

I was hunting around and saw this one on his site and while I like it a lot I am not prepared to let my wife spend that much on a case for me, even though I am worth it:kiss:

Why not get the wife to buy more tools so you can make one. Win win more tools and you still get the case:banana::banana::banana:

If you saw the tiny space I have to work in, you would understand why not. I probably have everything I need to make one, although I can't get access to most of it and once I have one maybe I will have a go at making another, but it's not a priority as I wouldn't be selling them.

I think for what it is, you will be pushed to beat that price.
If you wanna make your own you are more than welcome to come play with my cnc do it with.
I am cleaning my shed up now, I never would have believed it has taken me all day just to see a quarter of the floor.
That quarter does look nice, trouble is there is no room left to clear any more init?

This one.
Pen Shed 60 Pen Collectors Cabinet


Let me know when you're coming and I'll bake you a cake init?

When my Drain finished work I tried to make it special for her to come home on her last day.

She loves making cakes, but working put her off of making them, I love cheesy scones, I found a recipe on the interweb and did it.
Much to my surprise they came out brilliant as per the pics I showed.

She came in and announced "I am going out ain't got time" and disappeared without a glance at my special presentation.
So I did what any self respecting guy would do, took the photographic evidence and ate them.

We had a joint effort on Saturday she make fruit scones and I made my cheesy scone recipe which are quite different.
I won't go swapping recipes but it was a challenge.
I would love to make some for you next time you visit.

I also like that same one Peter, if he dropped the price to around £250 i would consider it .. :whistling:

What narks me is the quality of the picture, you would think that for a grand plus they would make an effort to show it off .. :nonono:

I do like it and it does look like the best value for money one that I have seen, that's probably the one I will have.

It sounds good and I love baking, but it's very rare that I eat more than a couple of the biscuits or cake that I make, ice cream is a different matter.

Yes, that sort of thing annoys me. There is another website that sells pens and the photos are so pixelated it's a waste of time looking at the site, fortunately I can't remember which site it is, I certainly don't have it bookmarked.
