Hi all

Here are the 10mm gel pens I have made from celluloid blanks today, any comments welcome as these are the first pens I have made.

Welcome to the forum, giggles. Nice pens, but we like newbies to join and post crummy pens, not good-looking pens like these! []

Welcome to the group Dawn, your pens look great![] There are a few Welsh penmakers in here, no doubt they will make themselves known to you![]

Thanks for all the comments. Sorry txbatons they weren’t crummy enough but these are my first!! Its probably all down hill from here as I get to clever. [] I purchased the blanks from Neil Webster at the Old Barn Workshop www.oldbarnworkshop.com. []

Hello Dawn, a very warm welcome to IAP from me too, in North Wales.[8D]
Those a great, esp as they are your firsts. Just one thing, as Chairman of a WOODturning club, aren't you supposed to use wood?[][}]

PS. I liked the site that you gave the link to, but you need to get rid of the 'dot' after the 'com' for it to work. I couldn't find them, but are those acrylics sold on the site?

Welcome Dawn, very nice set of pens.
I hope you have a well paid job, this hobby will bleed you dry.[][}]
