Thread: Pen turning book

I have several books on pens and I don't remember any that had details that you are looking for, I doubt that you will find a book with measurements let alone metric.
What is it you are specifically looking for, details of bush sizes, tube lengths/diameters, etc.

if you can explain exactly what you are looking for ? then we may be able to point you in the right direction to find it as there is plenty here for you to see ?


Cheers ian

Sorry for the delay in replying.

In the past when i have been looking for Box making books that include designs or how to's i noticed you can get books in imperial measurements and Metric. So given that im more comfortable and familiar with metric naturally i purchase those books in order for me to make a few of the boxes based on their designs.

I was looking around for books on Pen turning

i have come across this one

Amazon.com: The Pen Turner's Bible: The Art of Creating Custom Pens eBook: Richard Kleinhenz: Kindle Store

which looks great but noticed it was on imperial measurements and just wondered if anyone has come across any Australian or UK based Pen turning material

I guess my expectations must be a bit off and i should just become familiar with imperial or just understand the methods of how to turn a pen and make my own dimensions

I could be wrong, but I reckon that if you search through the archives for the yahoo penturners group you would find most of the info in that book. Rich has been pretty active there

Hi, buy the book and a set of verniers, then convert the dimensions to metric.
