Just to let you know that 5 out of 6 Golfers Pens sold today at a fair within 4 hours Glen:banana::thumbs:

I would like to say that I have not been very active over the last week, in the shed that is. This is due to having my dear mum in hospital she is 94. The good news is she has now been let home today and sounds very upbeat. So I now need to get back into the shed and complete my latest project.

I had a very welcome visitor today, it was Keith (Yorkshireman) who popped into the Llandudno centre of Blind Veterans UK to see me for an hour or so. We had a good natter & he brought me 15 pen kits & about 30 blanks to keep me busy. Thanks Keith, I thoroughly enjoyed our bit natter, it was...

Bob Lonz was in our locality today so he called in for a natter. He also brought 2 boxes brim full of timber & plastic cuttings Which I can use for BV. There's loads of pen blanks for me to work through. Thanks Bob, I appreciate it.:thumbs:

Logged in today and the forum looks all weird. is it just me or is the forum had a make over.

A parcel came today from our Dan. I was gobsmacked when I opened it. All the pens were kindly donated by Dan & the blanks by Scott. Thank you doesn't seem enough but it's all I can say. THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR GENEROSITY, IT IS SO MUCH APPRECIATED. Slimlines Deltas Zetas Blind Veterans...

A few weeks ago i've purchased some bog oak blanks and here is what came out the shop today... A matching pair of TiGold/Rhodium Mistral pens.

I have a lot of bamboo canes that comes from my garden, i had to cut them down over two years and they are super dry now. Usualy we use them as supports for plants but today I had the idea to dress 2 pens with it. What do you all think about it ? 2 Omega's dressed with bamboo, finished with...

I bought some alloy rod for pen turning the other day then realised I'd chipped the last of my polished inserts some time back so I got these in the post today. These give a great finish on aluminium alloys and plastics if you haven't tried them. I use a Tangential tool for most of my turning...

Found this blank today and thought it would suit this Epsilon.

Some time ago i asked about wood suppliers close to me, somebody replied that there was someone in Surrey near Box Hill. They gave me his contact details.................and i deleted them. Well i am going to Box Hill today and thought i would give him a call, but i have deleted the message...
