tempest

Tempest in Olive Wood (from our very own Neil Lawton) I have only been turning for about a year now, keeping away from the top end kits. At one point I did push the boat out and purchased some JR Gents. Great kits, you could tell the difference between those and slimlines. Then I entered a...

While the main pleasure in pen-making, for me at least, is in turning a blank and bringing it to life with a sparkling finishing, I also find great satisfaction in assembling a high-quality well-engineered kit - and they don't come any better than Phil's Mistral and Tempest ranges. So, I am...

First try at a Beaufort kit, and I really do like the design and quality. The click action is superb - just as Vic said it would be :thumbs: Strangely, I was really nervous about starting this pen - not like it was an expensive blank either:rolling: Quite pleased with the finished item, it feels...

It's been a while since I have been in the garage/workshop but I managed to get out and turned this pen. Very happy with the result. (I entered the recent competition and would like to thank Phil for the Tempest pen kit. Once the kit is made I will post pictures and thank him properly)

I had some scrap plywood given to me last week from the joiners shop at RAF Coningsby, thought I better make something up for the guy that gave me it, so this mornings effort is a Gold Tempest dressed in plywood, with A CA finish. I rather like it, which is just as well as I have enough for...

Another from today a gold Tempest dressed in what is suppose to be an alternative Tortoise Shell, very difficult to see the effect, this may be because I painted the tubes black, I will try another one & either leave unpainted or paint them gold (anyone else have this problem with this...

One from today a Gunmetal Tempest Dressed in Redwood Burr the blank came from Rocky Bemis over in Redding California. The redwood is so soft its the first time I have ever thought you can have your tools too sharp :thinks: pen has a melamine finish with microcrystalline top coat.

Afternoon all, Thought I's share a few more pens with you. The Phoenix is a new design that a customer asked me to turn - the acrylic is 'Modern Times'. The wood is Oak and Rippled Massaranduba. The Zen pens are Pink Ivory and Tamboti - which has a very sweet aroma. I left the wood bare to...

Hi Phil... As promised, the link to the Tempest Video. Its not a tutorial...Im not experienced enough yet to be handing out advice on pen making...its purely the process I went through making the pen and a place where you can see it being assembled and shown, which some people have asked me...

A Bimble Box Burr Tempest in Upgrade Gold. Finished with sanding sealer after sanding to 600 then 4 coats of Melamine and buffed.

My first look at the Beaufort Ink "Tempest" and i'm very impressed with the kit, the parts seem heavy & well made and the kit goes easily together and makes up a pen that feels great in the hand. The supplied bushes or bushings are a great match. The kit below in upgrade gold is dressed in...
