Turning again after 8 years

[philkessling]

Just started turning again and I have some kits that I believe are stainless steel but I have no idea what bushings go with them. I also have a custom tool that I am sure I bought from an IAP member. I believe it is a die holder for custom pens. The year before I quit turning , I was gearing up to start turning customs.
Thanks for your help

Welcome back. The die holder was from George Boucher (TxAtDurango) if I recall. I have one and use it each time I make a (kitless) fountain pen. I recognize the pen kit but not familar with its details.
Do a good turn daily!

Don,
Thanks. I am sure you are correct about the die holder. It is all slowly coming back. I think the kit is a stainless steel Eagle, maybe. My bushings are all mixed up so not sure which ones I need to turn the kit.

The Marksman line of pens was sold to Lazerlinez quite a while ago. Here's a link to a thread ==> https://www.penturners.org/threads/marksman-pen-kits.121195/. Lazerlinez sold its pen kit business to McKenzie Pen Works a few years ago. You might want to heck with Tim McKenzie if he plans to resurrect the Marksman Eagle kits.
