Not really casting I know but have any of you seen pens made out of Fordite?! Do a Google, some of the material looks really good. No idea what it’s like to turn of course.

I’ve been rooting about in the garage trying to sort things out and I found a brand new set of chisels I don’t remember buying. They are by Jason Breach and used for small box turning. I did a quick search on YouTube and watched him in action then had a go myself. A very good video and the tools...

Hi all, a good friend messaged me to tell me some bad news, one of his good customers had damaged his Perazzi shotgun stock and wondered if I would like it.... Heck yeah!! The replacement stock will be somewhere in 4 figures and probably a trip to Italy to select the blank.... The offcast is...

Hi all, I have had an email from a past customer asking about what cartridges fit best in the pen that she bought(Omega). This was not the first time so got me thinking... I have found this... Guide to Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges - The Pen Refill Guide Which I think gives a very good solution...

I know I already posted the Burr but I made another today and thought they looked good together..... Sorry for spamming :goesred: Padster

Hi all i was asked over the weekend if i had any ladies pens ie a small pen for small hands. Can anyone recommend a small quality slimline pen kit that may do the job?

Do you have a favourite type of pen? and do you find certain pens look better (in your opinion) made from different substrates? My overall favourites are fountain pens, those with a nice looking nib. I do like other types but I think those are hard to beat. I also prefer wood pens to any other...

I really haven't done as much pen turning in the last year as I would have liked but have a renewed energy and have solved some real technical penturning headaches. I am half happy with this one. There are some real threading aesthetic issues but the fits together snug and tight. Had a good...

It's been a long time since I have turned a pen......so I did... Burr Wych Elm which was a pleasure to turn. A good looking wood....wish I had more of it. Cheers Frederick

At last I managed a little shop time by cutting some boards for a toy box build it did feel good.

Hi all, in all these austere times it's great to see someone is still producing great "paper" products, yes they do the interweb thingy but a good old fashioned catalogue.... Fantastic service too, with some great wood, stabalised in house if needed... Resin too...
