eeeeeek, that means then that the best time to order a pen would be about the 3rd or 4th as, thereafer, they depart to suit the hands of aliens?

It all depends. If you read on how to do a pen I would say one would go for the ordinary / but ,like I, never read a book untill now so I went with the untraditional and now find myself doing all.
Of course that's my openion/ but that is all that counts right lol

My personal pen collection is basically the same shape since I was going to make one of every single timber. Alas not enuf years for that,but I digress I want to compare and love various timbers since good timber will always will out shine the design. My pens are made for my likes and loves. Surprising the top reception they give.
Watching the collectors on TV the other night and a woman said she could not understand anyone who bothered to get up in the morning if they were not going collecting that day.
Well this morning I went to a huge timber place and in conversation offered a new Black Mango Pen to the person who then proceeded to fill my boot with various treasures saying please come again for more and trade me a pen or two for timber.
The Power,Value of a PEN.
Incidentally I talked with my wife about making a holder suitable for use on the wood lathe tool post for the lady in America,logistics scary,do not even know where Mandleville is ? Regards Peter.

Senior moment to the Mandlevilian what I meant to add was to mount a Dremel to cut cartridges more easily than with the present method you use.

Tas, I think it has more to do with a deteriation of the cerebral cortex. It is a little understood phenomena that the turning of pens causes brain damage to its practitioners. The results of which are more and more outlandish shapes and an overriding urge to post pictures of their labours on internet bulletin boards and speak in a language that only they can understand.

You have been warned!


PS I thing it may be penologist, I'll have to ask my neurologist.

It seems to me that the first few pens are either straight-sided or wasp-waisted as the new penologist comes to grips with the basics of assembling the kits and how the bushes/mandrel are used.

Once familiarity is achieved with the equipment, then the imagination soars and flights of fancy start finding their way into the repertoire. After giving away the twentieth or so pen, when their freinds eyes start to glaze over every time they approach, the average penologist starts looking at other ways to support their habit, such as Market Stalls.

However, the general public seems to prefer plainer styles of pens... so the penologist has to cater for this, although usually can't refrain from slipping in the odd bead and cove. Every so often, the creative powers are unfettered and another flight of fancy incorporating captive rings, feathers, beaded beads, coved coves, beaded coves, coved beads and all the other bells'n'whistles is unleashed upon the unsuspecting public.

But we do try to keep the more inspired creations behind closed doors... only showing them to fellow afficiandos.

What you guys do behind closed doors is no business of mine, after all you are adults. Just keep it out of reach of children.
