Paul’s pens

Here is a couple 4 way tech pen and pencil kits. the bottom one is made out of Teak, made it today after running into the problem I had. I went to put it together and found a blank (like the one I had trouble with) that I hadn't put together. I turn the pens in the garage then assemble them in the basement. Need to get that part better organized I suppose. Thanks again for all the advice. I know there's a lot more to learn, glad I finally registered for the site. Every one on this site has been very nice.

Enjoy the learning curve, It is helpful!

Nice pens.

I've pulled teak planks from simply driving around several communities the night before garbage day and finding discarded desks, tables and chairs (I'm not proud). Actually very nice timber.

Thanks Mark, I am a little nervous showing my pens because I feel that don't look as good as others have posted.

Everyone has been where you are, don't feel bad to show your pens. We're all learning together.

Those pens look very nice btw. Keep up the good work.

When you post your work AND invite constructive comments/evaluations, you will get a number of helpful responses. These can move your learning curve along. It is very beneficial. So do not be shy about posting photos of your pen turning efforts! Your pens look very good for where you are on that learning curve.

It seems there's always a "next level" as long as you want to challenge yourself. Don't be ashamed to post anything here. The IAP community is very respectful and helpful with any type of pen you want to show or ask about.

Those are nice pens. We all started at one time and learned as we went along. Browse the forums and the library for information. You will find the members are willing to share their experience, good and bad, and expertise.

Hey, Paul those look good to me.

Interesting kits.

I like the display stand, also.

paulbt1975 · Jul 31, 2023

Trying to re member where I got the stand, I think I got it from my Uncle, don't remember if he made it or bought it somewhere. I just looked at it I think he bought it somewhere

I was just looking through my pens I have made, I have built up quite a collection! I was trying to find on to show, It has colored pencils in it, I got the inspiration from RJB wood turner. I sometimes like to try different things, being creative.

I thought I was only talking to Derek in this conversation (but that's ok)
