Terry, Very nice. What did you use to glue the corian together? I was advised that it is near impossible to get the proper corian adhesive that comes in about 50 colours and costs about £5 a tube, but that araldite it the best solution, failing that CA.

Very nice Terry. I have to make a pen for my nephews wedding later this year and am trying to find the best kit for the corian (supplied by Jim) to put it on.

Neil, if Jim hasn't got any more and you want some, I'll let you have a couple.

Thanks Paul. If you want a pen for a wedding then I suggest you go for a Roman Harvest from Timberbits. White corian will look fantastic on it !!!!

Paul,

Got enough to keep me going for a couple of weeks! Was just wondering what was the recommended method of sticking the stuff together.

Terry,

All the pens shown using this Corian have come up well your pen is a good indicator of the value of the material for all seasons and purposes, it will bring back memories especially of bridal wear from long ago for me as I have photographed and enjoyed taking the pics at innumerable weddings, as a pen stand base it is supreme because it breaks plain white or cream. Altogether a cooperative effort with supply of fat Corian and good turning the pen kit is great withy this one as well, I agree the bling of the Roman Harvest attracts many for weddings.

Kind regards Peter.:thumbs:

Thanks Terry, I've got a pair of Roman Harvest tucked away that I've had for a while. I'll give it a shot as I haven't made one yet.

Once you've made one they will become your favourite pen Paul !!!!!

I might just have a go later this evening. I was going to go and have a tidy up in the shed but adding a bit more won't hurt.
