Title: Pen turning kits
Post by: KevinMc on June 22, 2017, 07:54:37 PM

Hi all

Where do you all buy your pen kits and maybe other kit items from?

Any recommendations for a beginner?

Dan at taylorsmirfield (https://taylorsmirfield.co.uk/) has a great selection some include some high quality kits
Phil at Beaufort Inks (http://www.beaufortink.co.uk/index.html) has some tend to be higher end kits and also some good quality refills
Dave at PenkitzandBitz (http://www.penkitzandbitz.co.uk/) Has a great selection.
All three are good to deal with and are prepared to talk if you need anything

maybe UK Pen Turners would be a good place to ask as well-    Hope I'm not breaking any rules suggesting another site,but it does seem logical.
