Pen kit pricing?

[hanau]

I am getting back into pen turning again. Could someone let me know who would have the best prices for pen kits?

Is Ryan at woodturningz still one of the best prices to buy kits from?

I am going to start again using slimlines and other inexpensive kits till i get set back up for turning.

I just order a shop fox lathe and chisels.

Now i have to get mandrels, bushing, a press and vise.


Never sell everything when you get tired of it, never know when the urge to turn will come back.

If you are looking for basic PSI kits then yes woodturningz has great prices. Also check out www.exoticblanks.com. They have great prices as well. There are many more depending on your price range.

Another place with pretty decent pricing is Wood-n-Whimsies.

Depends on style and plating.

Thanks Rob!!!

Straight slimlines--consider Smitty, too.
Tngold slims-Exotics (I hope)
Sierras---all over the map, depending on plating.

Slims -- smitty.
Exotics is awesome.

I will have more question on where to buy things since it has been almost 3 years since i did any turning.
