Hello, I'm new here

[Epsilon1911]

Hi, I'm Epsilon. I'm relatively new to pen-making and am looking forward to improving my skills as a pen-maker. I joined this site because a friend suggested it to me. I'll post pictures of the pens I've made so far in a comment later.

welcome from the UK.

with each pen , pick it up, handle it and write with it ,Only then start to think what could / would make this better. If it gives you pleasure there's the best result.

Have fun

Nice start, I do have a suggestion towards better pens. I can tell you are doing a lot of sanding. You have quite a bit of contamination, especially noticeable on your light colored pens. That contamination is due to sanding the bushings. Try to get a smooth finish with just lathe tools, whether that be a skew, scraper or carbide. Very good start though, you're well on your way
