I think it's superb :D

Some good information on your site :D Thanks

Good tutorial, useful for us newbies. Thanks :D

Very nice Walter.

Thanks for the comments lads :D The top photo is probably nearest to the true colour. It was extremely hard to get a photo that shows the depth of colour in the blank.

A Nouveau Sceptre in Galaxy Blue polyester resin. Comments and criticisms welcome :D

There is a very good standard of entry and some forum members may have been put off by that, but remember, in any competition there has to be losers. The losers are every bit as important as the winner because without the losers there IS NO competition. If all the sprinters up against Usain...

Don't forget haggis the most Scottish of all. "Git yer haggis, right here... chopped heart and lungs... boiled in a wee sheep's stomach... tastes as good as it sounds! Good fer what ails ye, eh?" :D :D

This is my entry for the pens in alternative materials category. It is my 18th pen and my first high end kit I used a polyester resin blank for this kit as I had no timber blanks large enough (I didn't realise how large they were compared to a slimline) It was wet sanded with wet and dry paper...

Superb :D From now on you belong to him, not the other way round. I hope he trains you well :D Enjoy the small moments, the big ones take care of themselves.

Well, I managed to complete 3 pens and they've all been claimed so I must be doing something right :) Thanks for the advice, drill first turn later from now on. I need to get out and about now to gather up some wood for a few more ambitious projects. A very satisfying start to my new hobby :D
