Trying to get to grips with forums and found way to this one too.
Use tapatalk and struggle at times but the mobile technology is so much easier for most things rather than the ties of a pc.

Anyway I am Scott based near Doncaster in the UK. Started wood turning a couple of years ago and soon realised my little Charnwood 821 wasn't up to much for big wood turning. Found my way to pen turning and spent a fortune buying just about every kit out there.
Soon realised there a huge difference in some kits over others and found some great suppliers here in UK doing better quality than some of the Chinese kits I initially jumped on.
Not doing so much pen turning now after starting my own blank and mould business.
Facing the prospect of knee surgery, working as electrician has taken its toll, I needed something I could do from home should the time come when I in recovery. Never being one to sit and so nothing working from the workshop seemed a great opportunity. After watching numerous YouTube channels and finding much inspiration I have made many blanks and love trying new things.

Oh at times I tend to waffle on too lol

With that in mind here a few of my pens with my blanks.

Hope to catch you soon

Scott

Welcome to the site Scott. Hope you can figure out the use of whatever you are using so that you can downsize your photos just a bit.

But with that said being you posted a blown up image of your pens I see either you have an out of round situation going on or something. Maybe the method of flushing the ends is off. But I look at that third pen and the center ring has a gap and also is proud on one side and even on the opposite. That indicates an OOR situation.

Hope you take this as a suggestion and a helpful hint. We all strive for the best we can. :):)

Hi Scott.
Welcome from the Isle of Man.
I lave your blanks, do you sell them at the moment ? or is this your plans for the future.
Thanks Ken.
Hi Ken
My blanks are indeed for sale via either my web site or Facebook. I often post on Facebook first so some never make it to the website.
Details of both should be on my signature below.

What is the source of the up graded kits you have found that you spoke of? Most of the kits I see, unless they are custom, seem to source back to about the same places, either China or Taiwan. I prefer the Taiwanese ones. Are there some actual European manufacturers?
