New CSU catalog

[PenWorks]

Hot off the press, the new CSU catalog, some interesting new things..

Pen makers choice- some new acyrlic blanks- ( I'm sure Frank will want some

Micromesh sanding pads,

A Jr Retro Pen [xx(]
Copper platings now being offered, according to their wear rating, copper wears faster than 10K [)]

Chameleon tubes- interesting tubes in nickle & black plating, supose to enhance the look if the resins you are using, are somewhat transparent, use these tubes instead of painting. 2.50 for 5 sets of tubes.

A 10 in 1 gauge, neat [8D]

Hunter cutting tools, I have one allready, and the darn thing is sharp and stays sharp.

A big A** Robust lathe, nice looking [:0]

Hope you get yours in the mail soon.

 

[gerryr]

I got one yesterday. I can't tell from the picture what that Retro pen really looks like, the photo stinks. The page with the Robust lathe is all wet cuz I drooled over it for so long.[]

 

[toolcrazy]

I got mine yesterday. Had to go and get a towel.[]

 

[wdcav1952]

Dang, I leave for a week, and you guys go crazy!! Now let me think, there was another magazine that used to get this kind of response years ago, I just can't remember the name. [}][]

 

[cozee]

Got mine this morning. I've gotta get some of those new acrylics and the new tubes look interesting.

 

[alamocdc]

Mine is still in transient, I guess, but I'm eagerly looking forward to drooling on it, er, I mean looking through it.[]

 

[kent4Him]

It hasn't reached Northen Illinois yet. Maybe after lunch I can start thinking about all the things I can't afford.

 

[Ligget]

It`ll be even longer to reach us Scottish folks.[]

 

[Mikey]

Nothing for me yet. Maybe I can be lucky enough to get mone on Monday. I didn't see the new stuff on line, Anyone have a link?

 

[thewishman]

Maybe the Ohio shipment got hi-jacked. I want mine NOW!

[jcollazo]

It arrived in the Los Angeles area today. Won't have time to read it until Thuesday tho'

 

[stevers]

Got mine. I also wounder about the nickel and black tubes. I know it's only two colors, and we do so much more. But it could still be handy for some jobs. I don't have the ability to powder coat anything. I have to paint mine and hope the glue doesn't screw them up. Also I wounder what happens when you ruff the tube for glue. I've heard some say that it's not ness, but I had a few come loose back when I started because I forgot to sand the tubes.
Love the new acrylic colors too. Packer fans should love the "Trippen" blank.
All I can do with the Robust lathe is dream.

Hi Eddy,

CSU is Craft Supplies USA, one of the kits manufacturer that people prefer around here. They don't have any distributor so you order directly from them.
Here is their web site:

Me too[]

Pen Works,
What's this "Hunter cutting tool" ???

[dbriski]

I think the Beauty of the Nickle tubes is they are basily a mirror reflecting any color the acrylic already has.

 

[JimGo]

That was a HORRIBLE catalog. I spent WAY too much time looking at some REALLY nice toys that I can't get!!!! Kind of like walking through an Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maybach, Spyker, or similar dealership.

 

[jckossoy]

I haven't gotten mine yet either. I wonder if it was delivered to my old address (I moved 9 months ago). I want my catalog [][][][]!!!

Kol Tov,

 

[gmcnut]

Hi all,

I was in CSUSA last week and picked up a copy of the new catalog. Apears to be the same catalog as before with a new cover and eight or ten pages of new things.

Once home I went on line to look up some of the new items. They don't come up. At least not with the search by stock # feature.

Hmmmmmmmm? [:0]

My problem with very transparent blanks isn't the tube showing. I always paint them to enhance the colors of the blank. My problem is the bubbles that form in the glue as it sets. No matter what the finish is on a tube( nickel, black or brass) this will still show. That's why I always paint the insides of the blanks as well as the tubes
On another note I loved the new acrylic blanks....see lots of possibilities there! Another thing I noticed, I didn't see many price increases!

 

[eddiefebuary]

Thanks for the info, yet another way to spend money [:0]

 

[alamocdc]

Still waiting[]

 

[Mikey]

Grrrrr.[!] Still no catalog. Maybe by the end of the week I'll be able to read the new one.[]

[Mikey]

Anyone else still waiting for one?[][]

 

[jtate]

Mine hasn't come and I've gotten merchandise from them within the last couple of weeks. [V]

 

[Mikey]

Heck yea! Don't suppose you'll be home early today? I plan on gettin the heck out of dodge today at about 4.

 

[alamocdc]

Mine hasn't some yet either. Maybe it will be waiting on me when I get home today.[]

 

[Mikey]

That would be great if you go back out ofr a ride later. Maybe I could meet you on the way or meet you down on Rockside. I think I have your number somehwere. Just Pm it to me to be sure if you would.

 

[kent4Him]

This is getting painful. I still don't have mine. [xx(]

 

[Jim in Oakville]

Still waiting......I called, they said they didn't know if they mailed me one....hmmmmmm[B)]


Did I say something wrong?

 

[Ron Mc]

Got mine a few days ago.
Points of interest?
Retro Jr Gent has the old nib style, yet I am amazed that the Jr. Statesman still doesn't offer the posting option.
