TM Pencil.

[Neil Lawton]

A TM Pencil kit arrived today, this was a bit odd as I was thinking of giving them a try, but didn't get around to asking for one!

Anyway, I slung it on the lathe this afternoon. Wood is Silver Birch.




There is a little play in the twist, before the click which makes the top feel a little loose to me, could do to be a little bit stiffer. Though for all I know, I could have put it together wrongly!
It does actually work though, which makes a big change for a pencil kit!

I agree that the twist could do to be a tad stiffer. Its on the list.

Lovely job on the pencil.

I have to agree it is a very nice looking kit.
Is the pen kit the same length Dan?

Very nice for a slung pencil.

Could this lead to a pen and pencil kit, with a possible triple in a FP?

I am looking into a FP & RB using the same clip and centre band but I can't say when that might be available. More likely to be nearer the summer.

Thanks for doing that Neil mate. It looks good, let's hope the mechanism is robust enough which seems to be the failing of all pencils.

Nice one Neil

 

[Woody]

Looks good Neil

 

[Penpal]

Good match for the pen like the timber with those splashes of vcolour.

[Jim]

Well turned Neil, hopefully it will be a good solid kit ..

 

[Lons]

Excellent Neil. Lovely blank

The kit looks good and Neil's made a great job of it. I just hope the mechanism proves more resilient than those in other pencil kits. If it does, you are onto a winner, Dan.

I'm glad to hear that a fountain pen is also in the offing. It's a shame from my point of view that it won't be available in time for the fountain pen, ballpoint and pencil set I have been asked to make later this month. I suppose I will have to try the Artisan set instead.

Looks a nice pencil to me Neil and Dan. As the others have said if the mechanism is up to it could be a winner.

Nice one Neil.
