    Gold Fountain Leveche. This is a DiamondCast blank that is purple and clear - I left the brass tubes showng - the gold color coming through the turned blank seemed to work nicely with the gold hardware.

    Good guys don't always finish last...

    This one was SO much fun to make! I saw a blank made by Jason Olson ( #writeturnz on Instagram). I loved it. I have no manners. (I actually have lots of them – they are just all bad ones.) “Hey, Jason – can I have one of those blanks?” (Rude. I know.) Next thing I know, a box full of...

    Still having issues

    With recommendation from some of the forum members I bought the Sorby deluxe sharpener which I'm really pleased with. My skews and parting tools are super sharp, my wood chisels are like razor blades and my scissors can cut anything I put them up against. So why am I still having issues with...

    Another blank question

    I have been asked to make two pens as gifts. Anyone know where I can get blanks with the planets on it. Or owls or something similar. The lady in question is into spooky and gothic type stuff so Im looking to do something special.

    Beaufort Tempest dressed in a Crimson Mesh Acrylic Blank

    First pen I’ve turned for a few months, it’s a commission for someone who purchased another 12 of my pens the other day, I’m glad to say the other 12 were already made.

    Note to self!

    Don’t use a permanent marker pen to mark the blank again! The ink must have penetrated the blank at least 2-3mm

    Bespoke Project

    This is one I finished recently of which I am very proud. The final product was nice – great pen, really – but I am happiest about the process of making the pen and working with the customer. Bigger than I usually make (14 mm cap threads and #6 Bock nib), the customer knew what he wanted. The...

    Discussion: How much do you have to work a blank before you can say you made the pen?

    Since I started turning pens, the craft has moved on in leaps and bounds, and people are finding ever increasingly inventive ways of making the decorative part of the pen that is the responsibility of the person who bought the kit - ie, the blank. Traditionally, pens used to be made from wooden...
