Hi everyone,

Firstly, sorry to ask a question that must be as old as my wife, well I could not say me, could I!!!!

Where to buy the pen kits? I did get the Turner Retreat catalogue and also know that Axminster sell them. Don't like to keep the eggs in one basket, is there any where else that you use.

Thanks again
Derek

All of the previous suppliers are very good.

Some cheaper pen kits can be found on e bay, but be aware of cheap copies..
But one I know has been used is Helen on e bay, fun e turns. If you search wood turning pen kits you will be supprised what you will find.

Some of the better kits can be found below. But be aware of import taxes, vat and handling charges.
Craft supplies USA,
Pen Making, Bowl Turning, Wood Lathes, Wood Blanks, and Turning Tools for Woodturners | Craft Supplies USA

Penn state
Penn State Industries | Pen Turning | Pen Kits | Dust Collector

Generally the Dayacom kits are renowned for being a better quality than most, but there is a price premium.
Take a look here and dream, there is minimum order quantities here though:sob:
DAYACOM INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD

Have fun looking..
