Hi all
Just wondered how you store the pens you make.

I’ve looked around and there are many options but I’m looking for your recommendations.

Ideally I’d like a small set of drawers which can hold say 20-30 pens. I’d like it to be fairly nice looking in wood if possible. Or any other ideas that you might have. At the moment I use a cardboard box so anything would be an improvement!

Cheers
Ash

I bought something very similar to one of these for tools but it has ended up being the pen storage box. I think in the future I will set it up to hold all the drills, bushings and the next blanks I turn.

I think these engineer cases look brilliant. With your skills Ash Im sure you could make a great looking storage case.

Thats gorgeous Paul and would fit the bill perfectly.

So how much do you want for it and do you deliver? :winking:

You could always try here 45 PEN BLACK ASH DISPLAY CHEST you would only have to sell one pen!!

Thanks Pierre.

Yes I saw this and it’s probably worth the money. It’s very smart.

As per your other post I’m think I’m going to go down the path of looking for something “pre-loved” that I can re-use. I like the old tool chest idea a lot.

Cheers
Ash

Thanks Ian

I like the display case, very smart. By the look of your pens I’d have non hesitation putting them in there.

I also really like that soft pen holder. I don’t suppose you know where you got it? I’ve realised that’s probably what I really need as I can carry it around easily. I know there are a few makers of these types of things but I always look for recommendations where possible.

Cheers
Ash
