I am on holidays for quite some time in China and then Sweden. Currently in Langfang which is south of Beijing about 45mintues drive.

I will be to more places as time passes. What I would like to know is there any pen turning parts place in China or a place to get tools from.

Of course this all depends on the better half agreeing with what I would like to do.

So please post what is known.

Sorry Christos but thats like saying is the Pope Catholic there are plenty of places but they are hard to find and alot are just resellers and it is really hard to find the source unless one of our suppliers gives you a tip

Come on Gaz or David (Just kiddin guys)

Cheers Ian

I guess I am hoping to have members from China suggest places to visit that relate to wood turning or pens.

Would be nice to visit a shop or two. I do not always have to purchase everything, I do have resistance in the form of a wife.

Run a Google search and you will find some but I think you have to buy large numbers of kits to do any good. I googled it once and the minimum was around 500 I think. Then you have to check Australian Customs to see if you need a licence to import large quantities into the country - maybe that no longer exists.

Also check with the Australian consulate or embassy in China as they will have a list of businesses registered. Unless you are setting up a retail business or planning on mass producing pens I wonder if it is worth the effort.
Best of luck
Greg

Hey Christos,

All the contacts we have for Work (Marine Construction) are Minimum 5000 ( Five Thousand) units and it's pay up Front and they will get a proto type to you in about 3-6 months

There are people here in Aus who have already jumped through the hoops, no need to try and re-invent the wheel, some one has already done that.

I might been a little too specific. Maybe better to ask about tools in China. A shop or someplace that I can visit. Might post in general subsection.
