I like the look of this one but i did go a little too thin and wiped out his foot, but i'll have another go at these and will hopefully do...

Thanks mate
i was a bit unsure about the nibs also but once they are assembled and in your hand they just seem to work and would probably look a little plain without the curvy nib.
Ohh and let...

Thanks ironwood they are a nice kit and i like the look of trustone.
I think i'm lucky as most of my clientele are female and seem to enjoy bright colours and bling pens :;

Thanks guys.
Yea they are a nice kit, they have a nice weight to them.
They are on the expensive side for a twist pen but i think they are worth it and the ladies love them :U

Sounds like you have some nice lathes.

Sorry mate yea 240 v into the shed

Nice work, its looking good and i love that train in the background. did you make that also?

Ok I'm a little confused now :doh: but what i can gather Ill still need a 415v at whatever HP i want and around the 1400 rpm and then a 240v VSD at the the same HP as the motor ?

Thanks mate that was really nice of you to do.
