Hi Gary,

The postage would be approx. $25 so if you are willing to split the difference and pay half, i.e. total price $152.50, I can post them out. These are a steal at this price.

Cheers,...

I've attached a breakdown of the blanks.

Any takers? Make me a decent offer.

Cheers,

Looks like I'll withdraw this item and attempt to sell somewhere else.

Hi All,

Thanks for the info and advice Greg,

I was thinking about trying the MCC as well to see if they have any records. I noticed that the other pens available appear to be in the European/Mont Blanc...

Thanks Rumnut and Cookie.

I'm currently trying to think up some ideas for making a box that matches the pen. I'm thinking of using a part of the wood that still has paint on it for a handle.

Here's a Roman Harvest from David at Timberbits with a not so spectacular looking timber wrapped around it. In fact I don't even know what type of wood it is.

More importantly I know where it...

Hi Simon,

I also made mine from Delrin but like Cookie I find they don't last that long. However, if you buy some delrin rod then it doesn't take long to turn up another set. So if you wanted to...

Great discovery!

Thanks everyone for all the positive comments! I'm still turning Pink pens but after this month I might give them a rest for a while. :)

Thanks Skew,

I came very close to getting some of the Rustins product. What's the best way you can suggest to apply and cure for key rings without leaving drips etc How long do you find it takes...

Thanks for your advice Soundman.I might persist with CA for the moment. I am using a Medium CA at the moment and will see how it comes up after polishing.

Cheers.

Hi Angela, I was thinking that with hardwood keyrings that something like organoil might be the way to go. However I'm also turning some out of soft wood such as Huon Pine which is easy to mark up so...

Hi,

I'm new to the world of woodturning and have began by turning up some small wooden keyrings, made of Huon Pine and another mystery wood. My question is what would be the best finish to use...
