Looking for pen holder(s)

[FogggyTown]

Hey, Gang

I have some clocks movements I bought a while ago and I have saved for "just the right project". I now want to make a desk set (clock & pen/pencil holders). But where do I go to find the little holders to attach to the base - and the pens and pencils? And preferably not something Chiwanese or I could buy a cheap desk set and cannibalise it.

Something like this but without the base, of course.

Any ideas where these can be obtained? I checked through all the hobby/craft suppliers I know of and nothing.

Thanx

Axminster sells them, Craft supplies also.
They call them pen trumpets. If you want to have the pen coming out of a block of something you'll have to attach the trumpet to it or make that yourself methinks :lol:

Thanx, mates! Half the problem of finding something is knowing what it's called to begin with. I never would have thought of "pen trumpets"! I'll post pics when it's finished. :norm:
