Anybody on here a pen turner? I make custom pens in my free time, just wondering if anyone has the same hobby.

JBat · 2 May 2010, 04:02 AM

I don't but I'd like to learn more about it.

Skullring · 2 May 2010, 04:13 AM

I don't but I have seen some custom turned pens that are amazing. Do you have any photos of the pens or your equipment. I would be interested to know the process.

wholesaleneon · 2 May 2010, 06:47 AM

here are a couple pics of two pens i recently made. These crappy pics dont capture the beauty.

Both hand made by me.

All i use is a small bench top metal lathe, and a couple of specialized jigs.

JBat · 2 May 2010, 07:25 AM

Really beautiful. I love the look of the wood.

Skullring · 2 May 2010, 07:32 AM

Very nice. Where do you find the nibs and different fittings?

Lion · 2 May 2010, 11:23 AM

It looks like a lot of fun for you and what do you do with the finished pens? Do you sell them or are they for personal use???

wholesaleneon · 2 May 2010, 03:26 PM

ive sold several of them, I keep some for myself too.

The nibs and other pen parts are available all over the internet. Just google "pen kits"

It is alot of fun, and you can make all different styles of pens. If your really interested, Ill be glad to help you get started.

I believe I've seen a pen kit at "woodcraft".

Yes I make Pens from Tasmanian Native timbers, I sell them as a side hobby to souvenir shops around the state, I also make furniture (for myself). I love woodwork
