I have not made pens from granite counter top, but have made many from corian, a countertop material that looks like stone. It works well if you use sharp...
After spending the fall making pen and pencil sets as Christmas gifts for unwitting relatives, in January I turned a desk set for myself. I used the Classic...
I presume that these guys got my address from this forum. I don't recall ever asking for it and have no business relationship with them. Unfortunately, they...
The Pen Shop is pen turning forum. The email you got was probably their monthly newsletter. You probably signed on at their web site and forgot about it. Randy...
On the off chance that I'm in their forum, I tried to login. You can request a lost PW email if you can't remember but then it asks for a user name too. Well,...
I know I used to get their spam. I have never been to their site so I'm not sure how they decided to start sending me email. Uncle Google takes care of their...

Please allow me to apologize to anyone here or any other forum for that matter if you received email notification regarding the March newsletter and had not...
No, you don't have to be a member or sign up or ever have been there to get on their mailing list. They do take your address from here... nothing I can do...
Didn't know ownership had changed. Good luck with it :-) ... -- Regards, Rich ======================================== Richard Kleinhenz penturners moderator ...
Well, the 'shop' part of penshop has nothing to do with any purchases - I don't believe they sell, maybe penshop T-shirts or mugs. The 'shop' is more like in...
... Rich: Officially, it changed hands on 15 Feb according to the announcement in the newsletter which was just posted today. Randy [Non-text portions of this...
Thanks Tom. You might also consider putting some sort of contact info on the site. There is absolutely no way to contact the site owner. Good luck in your new...
Don't know your area but you might check out some of the local lumberyards. We have several that carry exotic wood and not only can you get your cocobolo...
Wayne; I can second the suggestion to call (preferred: go in person) local lumber yards. Make sure they are "real" lumber yards. Ask if they stock exotic...
I see some pen makers use plastic to make designs in their pens. I am wondering where I can get such plastic. I heard some use old credit cards but I am...
John; Look for "pick guard" material. Grizzly Industrial has it (their president is a guitar maker), and any place that sells guitar building materials....
Try www.bgartforms.com. I got some nice plastic strips from him a while back and was very satisfied with them. Best regards, Rick www.rickswoodworks.com ...
Has anyone made pens from polyclay? I made pen blank from some and have it turned down to final shape but can't seem to get rid of the micro scratches on it....
I am constantly reading many pros' version of finishing pens. Usually I will read that most apply multiple coats of finish. Some use sealers and then 5,6,up to...
This is pretty much a non-answerable question. Some will swear you need an eighth of an inch of finish, but I don't. I think there is a real possibility that...
To me the best way to insure a good fit to the kit is to use calipers to measure the the blank. And yes I do sand a couple thousandths off of the blank to have...
How? Trial and error... experience... not something you can globally tell someone else 'cut 4 thou under and build your finish'. You have to develop your...
John; Rich is correct. Develop a process / procedure for finishing a pen kit and then stick with it. Write it down if you need that level of detail (I do)....
Folks, The polls are closed and the results are in. Please congratulate Glenn McCullough as this years winner of the Penturners Rendezvous Logo Contest. You...
I have only made 4, so I'm no expert but I finished one with CA, polished one with micro mesh to a pretty good finish, and finally used glazing that is sold at...
