Popular Post Askland09 Posted March 21 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 21 Been really into turning pens lately and these three are probably my favorite ones yet. African Blackwood, Bolivian Rosewood, and Goncalo Alves wood species. Kits from PSI, magnetic graduate kits. Good way to spend a few hours on a day off. Cheers!

fcschoenthal Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Luke, you sure don't pick the easy woods to turn. They look great. I haven't tried that magnetic kit, but I like the shape that yours turned out. I've never fancied the ones with big, bulbous hourglass shapes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on my list tackle and weren't too terrible to control. Few trips to and from the sharpening station is what seemed.to do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 What is magnetic about them? I haven’t seen those kits. I got a PSI catalog a few days ago but haven’t taken a look at it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted March 21 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 21 This type of kit the cap is magnetic, pop it off and stick it to the other end. Dont have to worry about some ham handed person breaking the threads yanking the cap off without unscrewing it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barron Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Looks great. I love making pens, the hard part is finding a reason after you have given every one you know. They do make good tips (in addition to cash) for guides and special service when traveling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 @Barron, look into "Pens For Troops". Many of our club members are also into pens and the group makes regular contributions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
