Hi from England

[Bugware]

Neil from England.

I was inspired to join after seeing the great range of pens you guys are making. I am hoping for tips on best places to buy pen kits or individual components. The shops in the UK are expensive.

I will post some photo's once the weather improves and i can get back to the lathe.

Regards,


Neil.

Hiya Neil from North Wales.

Most of the UK guys buy stuff direct from our American cousins. If you only buy a few at a time then you are unlikely to get stung by the tax man. :wink:

Hi from another Brit. This is a great site with loads of helpful people. I've been 'off the air' for 16 months, now I'm back to boost the UK numbers and pick those smart brains out there, enjoy......
