Brett and Mrs B have the service that we used to get and now have forgotten is/was available (did that make sense?)
Is the new blade the Bull S blade

I am going to drop in tommorrow and grab a few things. It sounds good that they are a well respected enterprise. Look forward to it.

That's good to know. I have just purchased a lathe and want to pen turning. I have been hunting around for reputable suppliers I can drive to and came across Addictive.

I spoke to them on the phone and found them very nice, so maybe there will be many dozen kits bought through them....

cheers,
Dave

I must have missed Sue up there, Ray. I was there around 12:30 and picked up a few bits 'n pieces. The service was good.

A friend showed me how to turn pens on Saturday. I knocked up a slimline, and tried out a CA finish on a piece of timber. I am totally blown away by the finish that superglue leaves! Nearly a poor man's french polish.

I just went for a drive at lunch to Addictive and grabbed a nice little starter kit of mandrels, etc, together with some slimlines for practice.

Very happy with the advice and help for a new turner. Definitely a repeat customer here

Cheers,
Dave

I've done a few orders through Brett and can't say a bad thing about him, The service from Addictive has been brilliant and I will continue to place orders with him. (I've actually got an order in the post at the moment )

I dropped in this evening and was assisted with all my beginner questions and more. Very happy with service,

WOW.......... Thanks guys for all your kind words about our service it is a pleasure to give you the best service I can, by the way Mrs Brett's name is Kathy and for a midwife she is doing pretty good in the pen kit game.
I wanted to show you some pics of the timber I picked up while in Brisbane at the Vicmarc open day that we were invited to put a small stand in. I have turned up some samples pieces for the website so here they are, I also picked up some of the nicest Hairy Oak I have ever seen also some Yellow Berry bush, Woddywood, Conkaberry, and Burdiken Plum but I am yet to cut those up.

Missed you by about 3 hours I was there also.

Wait till you try WOP a tough finish but slow process

Brett has the best service out of nearly any store I have ever dealt with. That is why he is the only ones I get pen stuff through now. It would be nice if everyone took some tips from him.

I bought stuff from another company a while ago and had problems with a kit straight out of the bag. it took three months for the problem to get sorted out . And it wasn't like that was the only thing I bought. That order was around $300 and they didn't have the time of day for me to sort out a $10 kit..... Maybe I had to spend $500 or $1000 to get good service.

If that was Brett (I have bought a truckload of stuff through Brett and have never had a single problem with any of the parts at all, they are that good) I know he would post out replacements that day if it was a problem with the kit.

his kits are about the same price as the others but about ten times the quality. They are originals and not a bodgy knock off. Why would you buy anywhere else.

Thanks Brett. Will be putting another order though soon.

Haven't ordered too much from anyone lately, BUT, I do know Brett and Kathy give excellent service, Amos
