I'm in.

Price drop - now $750

Can still assist with delivery Brisbane metro - southside/Gold Coast. Happy to discuss

G'day guys,

A change in circumstances (oldest boy starting high school and youngest starting primary) has led me to part with my Nova Comet II - I just don't get the time to use it anymore. I...

I haven't heard from my partner, so thought I'd post up a few pics of the pen I made for him. Gold Sedona fountain wrapped with some New Guinea Rosewood and CA finished. Has some beautiful colour in...

Do you happen to have any photos of the one you made Sam? Would love to see how the sleeper turned out

G'day Patm80,

Give Tony from Perfect Pens and Pencils a call mate - 07 3388 1853. I know he had some in stock.

Thanks very much Brad and Les. Hope the ladies like these ones :D

I have a set of Jnr Gents blanks to spin up next

Hi guys,

Haven't been doing too much turning of late - the back gave out two weeks ago. :crutch: With that said, I couldn't resist the urge when this blank came in and I did manage to get this...

Just to echo what has been said, save those really speccy looking ones for when you get your finishes just right and a higher end pen - it is totally worth it.

Some good practice ones would be to...

Stunning Brad....

Is the boss selling blanks at all? Would love one like that :2tsup:

Very nice Neil!

I recently turned up some tri-dyed spalted Tamarind. Makes for a very unique (colourful :rolleyes:) look. Can't wait to see how yours come out :2tsup:

G'day Ian, this is where I get mine:
Chrome
Gold

I personally make mine a tad longer just using the tubes from a slim/streamline and occasionally swap out the phone plug for a pocket clip and...

G'day guys,

Just a heads up for those looking to get some casting gear - the Super Cheap Auto 10L pressure pots are on sale again - although it looks like they are slowly creeping those prices up...

RIP John,

I had only caught up with John a few weeks back and he was showing off a recent watch part pen that he had made. Terrible that he is gone so suddenly. Here is to an eternal wood pile...

Great work Mik! Hope they were able to raise lots of funds!

I popped up to Gympie to march with a mate of mine who I served with. Amazing service - both the Dawn service and the march down the...

Great wedding set there Brad - nicely done. :2tsup:

Regarding the engraving, give Tony from Perfect Pens & Pencils a yell - he does laser engraving and could give you the figures.

Regards,...

G'day guys,

I knocked this Sedona up last night. Found a nice piece of timber in the woodpile. No idea what it is, so please chime in if you can pick it. Has some lovely figure in it.

C&C...

I'm in!

:let:

G'day Tony,

They are an import from ptownsubbie mate,

Cheers
Steve

Thanks very much JT and yes - very much hooked :U I used a decoupage glue to seal the paper & stamps prior to casting. This is the PR I used, from Barnes here in Oz. Still experimenting with the way...

Thank you all for the kind words - I may have pre-warned the wife to expect make up supplies to arrive in the near future for colour casting :p

G'day Tony, yes mate all courtesy of the mold......

This is my first crack at casting.
Shout out to Tony from Perfect Pens & Pencils for all of his help and guidance - thank you mate :cheers2:

Aussie flora stamp decoupage and the other is Japanese...

I'm keen to contribute as well. Do you guys collate the pens prior to sending them o/s?

Cheers
Steve

Thank you very much Neil, arrived yesterday. My new favorite shirt!

Appreciate your efforts mate :2tsup:

Thanks very much Tony. Those cases are from PSI, they are the Bubinga High End Pen Box. I believe Tony from PP&P will be getting them in soon too.

I took a sneak-peek at your Ned Kelly blanks as...

G'day guys,

Just a few turnings of late:

Had an order for a Jnr Majestic in a pearl white blank

In between orders I managed to knock out a couple of Mik's Mecha Blanks - Love...

Very nice mate! Might have to try some mango myself --- I've been spending too much time eating the fruit instead :p

Hi Christos,

Never done a pen swap but keen to join in

LeoGunner; Australia; 1 pen; Overseas: not fussy :).

Thanks to Tony from Perfect Pens and pencils for ordering in the Phoenix Rising from PSI for me. Very solid/heavy pen with plenty of meat on the bones :cool:

G'day guys,

Most recent pen off the lathe last night - Jnr Gents wrapped in a lovely slice of Hairy Oak with a through n through knot (courtesy of Tony from Perfect Pens & Pencils - thanks mate!)....

It was my inbox that was full - I've cleared it out now :2tsup::2tsup:

I'm 30 with a small family. I generally have to turn after the kids go to bed on weekdays (to keep the boss happy :p) and I get a bit of time on the weekend. My boys get right into it as well and...

G'day Neil,

If not too late - 1 x shirt, 2XL please mate
Cheers
Steve

Thank you all for the kind words. I really liked the look of the first one, so grabbed another but this time with the red wire trimming.
Also took the photos a bit earlier this afternoon so...

G'day Mik,

That's the purple wire one. I picked up a red wire Sierra and cigar set today from Tony. Can't wait to get those turned :thumbup:

Cheers SteveO

Thanks for the comments Treecycle. The only editing was a photo resize and crop but I did take the shot late in the arvo outside which makes the photo seem colder to me - that might be it?!? Need to...

Well time to stop lurking....pull the finger out, pop the cherry and post my first picture up on the forum - please be gentle :D

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Already stuck into the forums and reading away. Lots to learn and even more to practice/try :U

G'day guys,

Thought it is about time I introduce myself, I'm Steve from Brissy (south side). Having a blast turning pens - that is until this afternoon my two-part auto adjust pulley on my MC-900...
