Finished the one and only pen I will make with this stuff. It just doesn't work.. Quite like this one though. Got a same but different one coming, hopefully it will be better

gotta love a bit of bling, corian with crystal opal inlays on a fancy slimline.. i really must work on my photography skills :rolling:

lots of test pieces but not much finished stuff, but youve gotta have a play, aint ya :) this was just a proof of concept really, which, in its present form doesnt work....too delicate. but with a minor design change it should be ok, maybe even a different kit. anyhoo, thoughts and critiques are...

had an awesome fortnight in corfu, just my wife and i for once.. i have brought back some bits and pieces i found along the way so hopefully will have something of interest to share soon.. but for now its back to the drudgery and work so i can save up for the next escape hope you have all been...

tried your jig idea..despite its appearance i am actually really chuffed with this one, everything lines up as it should...now just need to work on the glueing up so bits dont fall out :):banana::banana::banana:

Hi pen people Well, the sun was shining today and I started thinking of foreign climes so I made this. Imagine the warm Greek sun rising over a crystal blue sea, OR, just think of a turquoise pen with orange ends. (Both work). Accents are sterling silver and it’s fitted with a Bock nib...

Phil at work.. ?? ?Happy Birthday.

a dose of the rona, thanks to my nobhead grandson....still, 10 days off work paid and lots of free time in the shed...:fart:

Hi All, Been a while since I was last here. Times were hectic with a lot of production work. Then came the July violence with burning and looting of shops which slowed everything down. Am now quiet as business is trying to recover from the mayhem. Production work has stopped as business recovers...

I've been visiting my friends in London for 50 years now, this was from the pear tree they had to cut down a few years ago. ?They've asked me to make pens out of the wood that's been in storage for many years. This was a little soft but with careful skew chisel work It's turned out quite well I...

I found some veneer on the web as I wanted to use wood as the inserts rather than plastic cards. Did have some issues and had to do some repair work on the knot, now hidden, mostly, by the clip. Tried as I said in another thread to polish 6 coats of sanding sealer with micofine - that did not...

A couple of carvings recently finished from my box of part done projects., using my set of Pfeil palm gouges. Old Smokey Joe in boxwood stands about 250mm high and the frog about 110mm long in what I think was a bit of walnut burr, whatever it is I found it very difficult to work and really...

In a bit of purple patch and enjoying turning out one every couple of days. I'm afraid there are a few technical issues here - finishing, cap threading and photography - but not especially fussed - I think I know where the problems lie and will work them out sooner or later. Not sure what wood...

I have really liked this colour blank from the moment I got it but couldn't work out what to do with it. So I finally decided to pair it with Thuya burl. Nothing too complicated here. The section is a bit of work but I have shown that before I think. Also getting the logo coin to fit nice and...

I absolutely love the result of Ebony, tough wood to work with though as it is very brittle.

Happy with how this turned out, burnishing after sanding did the trick :-) Will see how this now holds up to proper use, it is going to my wife to use for work as a community Nurse. Honduras Rosewood gold click pen.

PICK A MIX PENS 12 different pens from Left to Right starting from A to L How it will work, if you like the pens as indicated from photos you would just say the letter of it. If you like a certain pen but would like a different wood you would say eg Type A and wood E. All these pens will be...

Hi all, I hate doing picture cap fountains...... You never quite know what's going to work on the lower half..... Well here are 3 commissions that I hope work.... A Fender guitar with red and black swirls.... A Tesla with black blank with white swirls...... And the recipients pet with a cocobola...

My brother in law has been building a camper van for the last few months during lock down and I grabbed some of his kitchen work top off cuts. He says is is oak ??? Its not perfect but I am still learning......

Hi to all As this years restrictions are having a disastrous effect on everything and everyone the RBL will in all probability not raise the amount of donations via the annual poppy appeal so I made up the pens as a donation to help raise a little money for the RBL As ex services I know how...
