James a hush came over the forum when the word got around that the colt from Costa Del Sol had arrived ( with apologies to Banjo Pattersons Poem The man from Snowy River up in the mountains from here)complete with nine unforgettable pens three impressive implements unknown kits and a bangle to be proud of.

Love the pics the way you extend the biro in your pics if not like a ship without a rudder IMHO incomplete.

So now I guess the timbers but not important I have no desire to rush out and buy similar blanks but admire them. In depth, colour mate. Contender for pics to remember and admire.

Neat workshop built to catch the sun neat, efficient and a pleasure to view inside and out.

WElcome and thankyou together from here in Canberra. Today I attended a clinic for Falls Prevention 1 1/2 hrs with a clinition Physiotherapist then the same time with a nurse measuring memory who proved I cant remember much when its needed being 8/10 of a century, they graciously allowed me some priviliges extended to keep me mobile and happy making pens.

One of my ancestors Emmigrated to South Australia from Donegal in the 1840,s

Welcome home, James! It's great to see your Zetas - look really nice! Also love that thuya burl - the pen style doesn't do much for me but just love the way you've finished them!

Bob.

Cracking looking pens and bangle or ring, I can't tell the scale, but it's lovely.

The three pens in the 2nd last pic remind me of submarines on racks certainly beautifully made and designed its not often enough to see a writing instrument so ready to impress the shape inviting the grasp the top nestling into the hand winners are grinners. The bangle is exquisite a real treasure while the group are amazing. I have a couple of hanging plants at my workshop door and find yours on either side a nice touch mate.:camera::cameraman::yourtheman:
