G'day All,
This just started as a curiosity project I just wanted to see if I could pull it off. The standard Circuit Board Sierra is fatter then the standard Sierra bot with some careful turning I...

Sorry but that is incorrect, as far as the Berea Elegant Beauty Sierras are concerned they are exactly the same tube as the standard Sierra there is no difference what so ever.
Froggie

I think you will find that you can't do a bulk order direct with Dayacom you have to go through the Aussie agent, the minute you send them an email trying to buy in bulk it will be forwarded to the...

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...

Well done on the Sierra Elegant Beauty Amos but I do agree that the blank on the 2 tone copper is a little bland I have made a few of them and I used red timbers and I made one from some fiddleback...

BJ,
The two kits are completely different the only similarity is that they look the same, except for the ugly band on the non Berea one.
They have different size tubes and different bushes and...

Well for those of you who buy your kits from us anyway.

Russell,
Try FMS (Fibreglass Material Services) they use to have branches throughout Oz, I am sure they will be able to give you any advise you need on shipping. I use to deal with them when I was...

SM,
I agree 100% with you about the copper fusion, the next one I make will definitely be with the Bright Copper, but to be fair the photo really doesn't do the pen justice it looks very good in the...

B'dar...they are available in the Ti Gold / Blk Ti. I got this lot from the states and when I did they were out of stock of the others, I think they are the most elegant pen Berea have produced....

Yeah I do agree Stirlo but I don't have any Satin Nickel Sierras at the moment.

Froggie

Froggie

G'day all,

piece of %#@* and refusing to turn any pens on it I realised it was time to buy something...

Corbs,
I just use plain old turps to clean any oils or such, I always clean with turps between every coat of Rustins it is better to be safe than sorry.
Let me know if you damage any of the parts...

Well done Dave it looks fantastic. I too am a big fan of Amboyna but it is one of the more expensive timbers I have a couple of pieces i had given to me I am going to have to get my butt to the shed...

Pete,
You should give the Rustins a go mate when it is finished correctly the gloss is brilliant and it really doesn't take that much more time I make 20 pens at a time and once the turning, sanding...

Wow....why haven't I been told about those before. Anyways thank you DJ for that link I am going to make a call tomorrow and get me one of those.

Just a foot note to using CA under the Rustins I actually don't use it anymore I have finally managed to get hold of some Nitro Cellulous sanding sealer, it is compatible with the epoxy it is so much...

mmmmmm..........copper Sierras I have quite often thought about those they do look good and I agree with you DJ a Copper / Blk Ti. would be unique and it would go together nicely they would probably...

Just a thought BS go to Blackwoods and see if the can sell you the collett that will grip an 8mm shaft and fit in where your existing collett goes in your mandrel then all you will have to buy is the...
