point

I have been quite pleased with the bullet pens i made, but would like to make for in the future. Question is where to get them, the last four i bought had the caps taken out of the shells. Can someone point me in the right direction please.

I came across a site that sold multiple pen kits as a job lot, i'm dammed if i can find them again. Can anyone point me in the right direction, cheers

but you gotta try these things, havent you.. slimline twist with a captive ring...yes, im aware the ring will last all of 10 seconds in your pocket, but ive not tried one on a pen..and now i have i will try a smaller one at some point ( had to make the tool so may as well use it :up: ) no clue...

I now refer to this pen making lark as a "full time hobby". Since the start of lockdown I've done quite a lot of it, much more than I had planned or expected. Just to prove the point I now have a logo, and went to the trouble of having it cast in sterling silver coins to add to the end of the...

Hi, I’d like to get back into turning and am looking to buy a smallish lathe (sub £500 I guess), but just about everything is out of stock. I’d normally go to Axminster or Record power, but the only thing available is records £250 lathe. I’d prefer something with variable speed, but I don’t...

Hi all, Trying to keep busy...I call this the virus collection Rubbish pictures but you see the point Stay safe everyone... , Cheers Frederick

I have been watching some youtube videos on ring turning. I can not find any sites anywhere:thumbs: that sells mandrells ring cores etc. Any one doing this can you point me in the right direction to get the kit necessary to have a go. :thumbs:

I'm building my own cnc helical lathe for cutting rope twists in narrow stock. Its based around a dremel which takes 1/8 shank router bits and I need a point cutting roundover bit. Any idea where i can get them from?

I have been asked to make a lady figure from some yew and not having ever done one before thought I would do a quick practice, even then I have taken it right through to the finish. Body is Ash and the hat is Laburnum it stands 6b 1/4" tall and 2" at its widest point. Finished with sander...

I have been using my tablet/laptop one of those things that has a key board and can be separated into a tablet thingy. You get the drift hopefully. Anyway I can get other sites to save my log in so that I can go straight to them and am logged in as soon as I go onto them but here I have to log...

At what point does your turning go from a hobby to a business. If you already have a full time job but turn in your spare time then sell these items are you a business? If so, at what point do you register as a business and register to pay taxes? If you do a few craft shows and use a website or...

Two years ago I made a Streamline for my son in law and now it has an odd fault. The point only extends about half what it did when I gave him it. He says he has not replaced the refill, so all I can think of is something has happened to the transmission. I could just press it in a bit, but I'm...

I'm looking to make some shaving brushes and would like to get some suitable acrylic blanks but can't find anything in UK. Can anyone point me in the right direction (don't really want to go down the route of making them)

Hi Guys, As we all know, Phil from Beaufort Ink has produced a set of four Mistral pen kits. A fountain pen, roller ball pen, ball point and pencil. Below is my turned set of these pens, all made with Thuya Burl wood. Finished in shellac, two coats, CA glue six coats, sanded to 1200 grade paper...

This was the 3rd pen I've turned, "Sparkle Gold Inlace" on a slim-line. I cracked the first attempt as the brad point came thru the back of the blank, one of many lessons learnt.

Just a question Do you ever ask yourself at what point are your just assembling a pen you purchased, rather than buying parts to to help create your masterpiece. After seeing the 50 cal pen kit, there was so little turning to do I would never be able to show it off saying it's hand turned...

I am thinking of making my own swirly coloured blanks but I don't know what type of pigments to use. Using polyester resin I want solid colouring. Please could somebody point me in the right direction as to what and where? :praying:
