The Board of Directors are looking at a pen turning demo next spring by
a professional pen turner. This includes embellishments.

 

Thanks

 

Jim

	Jim,

	 

	In my opinion, no one catalog has everything.  I like some
things from this one or that one.  I do like some things at Penn State,
some things at Craft Supplies, some things at Arizona Silhouette
(currently changing owners and wouldn't suggest ordering until the
change is complete) and some things at Berea Hardwoods. Also A-line has
a good range of items from Craft Supplies.....support the local if
you're able.

	 

	I like;

	 

	Adjustable mandrels 

	 

	Mandrel Saver live centers (no point, the mandrel goes inside of
the live center so there's limited stress on the mandrel).

	 

	I like to turn acrylics and resins.  I do turn woods as well.
If it is wood, I prefer a CA finish.

	 

	I like the micro meshes ( I say plural because there's standard
and then there's also some specially made for resins and acrylics-both
are great.)  

	 

	I prefer kits with the best metals.  I sell pens, so saving a
buck or two on pen hardware by buying the lower end metals, doesn't make
much sense.  If selling, you want the best product.  Craft Supplies has
a good resource in their catalogs about the different metals and their
durability.

	 

	As far as pen kits, personal preference.  I suggest picking one
or two that you really like and start with that.  Maybe a one tube and a
2 tube style.  Ball points are a good starting point, or possibly one of
the less expensive roller balls.

	 

	Any other questions, just ask......

	 

	Take Care,
	Greg Haugen

	I got a sudden urge to turn a pen and discovered I know
absolutely less than nothing about it.  Looking through the catalogs,
there is a confusing collection of toys you can get and designs etc.
For those of you who do it, what sources of supplies do you use?

	 

	Perhaps we could have a meeting devoted to pen making.  Perhaps
we had one recently and I missed it, always possible.  

	 

	Thanks,

	 

	 

	Jim Stromberg
