Hello fellow Pennoisseurs, hope you are all keeping safe and well. Here's a commissioned Sirocco pen I made this week. The leather is veg tan with a hand painted lizard. It was nice to put my tiny artist brushes to good use again :banana:

Help Needed just trying to put my first Slimline Fancy Click pen together. Instructions not very helpful. Anyone made one if so can you tell me how to put the mechanism together. Got these 2 parts I think something to do with the mech.. Advice please

THis is my first effort in wood colouring so I thought I would aim for something simple. I bought a 12 x 2 blank from Axminster. It sat in the workshop for weeks before I could start it. When I finally started it I attached the face plate but again had to put it to one side as time was limited...

Here’s a converted pencil to pen. Didn’t like the pencils so now I’ve gathered a few spares put this together this afternoon. Much prefer it and it’s really smooth. Thoughts welcome...

Thought I would have another go at a piece of turning found what appeared to be a plain piece of ash in the woodpile, pleased with what I found inside. Finished with sander sealer and then put on my buffing system, I did add a coat of woodwax22 on top of that

My son sent me a poster to promote safety... Joking aside I do make everyone near the lathe wear goggles and they laugh when I tell them to put shoes on. I’ve seen to many workshop bare foot injuries in the past !!!!

I have bought some epoxy resin and i about to have a go at filling a hole in a flat piece of wood. I just want to get the hang of mixing it and seeing how it goes from there. My question is what do a put on the bottom of the hole to stop the resin running out. cheers

Hi all, Another great quality kit from Beaufort. Leveche fountain pen in Rose gold. I wrapped it in Alumilite resin. Used Blue dye with a tiny bit of white to get the right shade. Plus this gives the blue a solid look. Very enjoyable project and a great kit to put together. Leveche fountain...

I wasn’t sure whether to put this in the wood or acrylic section. I’ve been playing with the Cholla again. I really like the look of this stuff.

2nd Green one. I will put a pic up of all three soon. Peter.

November 2016 my turning club began a program to produce wig stands and donate to cancer survivors. Donations are made through the organization Susan G. Komen Foundation. At last night's meeting the number of stands delivered put our total at 524. I am so very proud of my club. This is an...

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...

Having taken advice from this forum and after my lesson with Mr mooney, I have spent the last few weeks, practising the art of sharpening a tool properly!!! I put some wood between centres and turned the RPM's up to 3100 (nearly twice the speed I was turning at). The result was some what...

The Sirocco is a very nice and simple kit to put together. Great quality from Beaufort Ink. Sirocco Pen turning - YouTube

Morning ladies and gents, I had an awful weekend in the workshop this weekend...... I went to the shop Friday evening and cut, drilled and glues a number of blanks up (2 siroccos, a mistral rb, a Chairman fp, and a few 7mm twist pens of various names.) I drill on the lathe using my nova chuck...

Hi all, I go on exploring others ways of filling a fountain pen, today the lever filling system. The pen is made of galalith, one of the first plastics, a mixture of milk and formalin. A wonderful touch. The section is made of black ebonite, another old plastic, a very warm material, the...

A couple of pens that I've just turned and put together. Both are from that nice range of polyester blanks that Paul at Pen Blanks and Moulds has recently put up on his site. They need to be turned with care but they do finish really nicely. First a 'Pearl Swirl' on a gold and gunmetal Sirocco...

I have done 2 pens in 1 week - a record for me. This one is a Sierra I believe - I had a Sierra some years ago and it blew up on the M6 - the design seems to have changed a bit since then. This may yet blow up too as it is from China and at present it leaves a black trail when I drag it across...
