Hi Malc


Nice Panache pens, where did you get the kits from..?

Thanks, both!

Nick, I got the kits from Craft Supplies USA.

Beware, I was warned about excess handling and customs charges, but was still surprised at how much it came to.

Hi Malc
Very very nice.
I wonder, have you a nice warm workshop, we here are faced with only a cold work shop, despite an electrical fan heater.
Had prepared Christmas ornaments, but have to wait till the temperatures rise a bit, brrrr.
Merry Christmas.

Hi Ad.

Thanks for the kind comment

I work in a single skin brick detached garage, heated with a single fan heater. Works ok for me.



Merry Christmas :ho2

Nice stuff Malc!

Do you get all the bushings etc in the perfume kits?

 

[The Shark]

Hello again, Oakbear

You can shop around for all the different parts and bushings, but I found it easiest just to go to Axminster who sell the kits and the relevant bushings.
Only drama with this is that I didn't buy my mandrel from Axminster (oh for the gift of foresight!!), so I have to drill their bushings out slightly to fit onto my mandrel - this is no problem on my cheap pillar drill with a couple of squirts of WD40 as a lubricant and an HSS drill bit.
