    Stock Gaylard Oak Fair

    I went there yesterday and it was a good day out with plenty of wood related stuff to look at. I was particularly impressed with many of the Pen makers. The last two I looked at chose to make pens using only native hardwoods and the looked very good. Of particular interest were the style and...

    Sierra pen kits - unscrewing

    Hi all :) I recently got a new batch of Sierra pen kits. I've found that the two of the finishes come from one factory, and the third from another. I actually suspect one is in China and one Taiwan, but that's a guess. I've made this assumption as the metal finish on the mechanisms are slightly...

    Best place to buy pen kits

    I don't really make a lot of pens & the ones I have made have all been the standard sort of ballpoint or rollerball like slimlines & classics. My Daughter in law asked me if I could make a pen set as a wedding gift which I am happy to do but I am not really sure what options there are for kits...

    Pen Kits

    Hi All I'm after a bit of help, I'm trying to locate pen kits that use resin/ebonite parts rather than chrome/gold etc. I have found one set by pen-kits.co.uk called Winston but that the only one I can find does anyone know of any others. Thanks Paul

    Unsure on bushes

    I've just bought a few pen kits that I haven't tried turning before and I'm a little unsure about the required bushes. Nothing expensive as I still class myself as a beginner. The kits are from Pencrafts and they are Polaris, Vertex and Executive. I've been through the bushes section of the...
