Hi All
I have just entered the world of executive style pens after making 100's of slimline style pens.
I have herd a lot about this site so I thought I would join and learn from the masters:) I'm a member of the ubeaut woodwork forum that I know a lot of you contribute to as well.
I will post some pics later so you can tear me to threads:biggrin: I have just discovered and still trying to perfect the CA/BLO finish.
If you do not know Humpty Doo is in Australia, Northern Territory about 45min from Darwin
I look forward to contributing to this forum.

Cheers Rum pig

HI Justin. Welcome to a great forum.

Below is a link to a PDF file that gives a general overview of tools, methods, pens and options that might be helpful in making pens. It is helpfule to some people and confusing to others. :biggrin: It does not go into detail of the many aspects at all, but just gives a general overview and options. Overall it gives some basic directions.
