That looks really nice Peter.
I might have a go at making something similar!
All I'll need then is some one who makes decent pens to put them in it.:funny:

If you can make them I will buy each one you make for £50.00 but only as long as the quality is there. Don't worry about the pens, I am sure we can get Farhan to supply you.

Butt, but you could alway use DT if you prefer. I don't think it is cheapskate to make your own, if I ever get the benches clear and can get the router table up there and buy a planer-thicknesser I will definitely be trying my own, although I would be happy enough to pay for another one having seen it.

i think what u got is worth every penny
there is a lot of work in that
if u cost materials labour etc it adds up to lots
simple things like the acrylic holders would take some time on their own

So do I Steve.There was a spare Acrylic holder as you call them as one of the acrylic holders has "Kaweko LICENSE TO WRITE Germany since 1883" on the acrylic, it's nicely done, but it's nice to have the spare. The holders are quite simple really. There is also the swivel base.

The let down from Hospital yesterday is tempered by knowing there are people out there seeking for possible errors,all in good humour. One of the last cards in the pack is dementia when one forgets a name etc and only between friends, no excuses, write with words not those weird symbols below. I expect the same attention to be given to my pens when I can resume you two. Great to be retired fellas. Happy Easter.

Peter.
