Hi,

This is Ashwin from India. My brother is currently working in Scotland and has Invited me for a 2 weeks stay, most probably in August.

Is there any place or person who could give me a hands on training in pen Turning when I come there. Any leads will be very helpful. The only reason i am coming there is to learn this. So any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ashwin

Ashwin are you wanting to learn to make pens using kits (brass tubes, clips, threaded parts etc) or the made from a fountain pen nib and feed and you do the rest? I'm in the wrong place to help but those that could would need to know. As much as I dislike youtube it has videos of both types ofd penmaking. More of the kits and less of the kitless/custom.

Hi Pete,

I am more interested in Kitless pen making.
