Whats New

 
 

Work is under way to make new stock for the first fair in February, I have been working on having a new section at the fair to show my more adventurous pieces.  The Spinal Injuries Scotland Awards can still be seen here. (SEE PICTURES) I intend to try and coast along for a wee while and try to re-charge my body batteries as well as my wheelchair ones.

WOODWORKING LINKS

Jim Has just opened this web-shop, October 2010, although I have been buying my pen parts from him for some time now.  The parts are good, the prices are fair and the service is good.  Jim is a pen maker himself and understands what is involved.  I cannot recommend this shop highly enough.

 

FUN-E-TURNZ

This is an Ebay based shop who I have found to be reliable, easy to deal with and very reasonably priced.  I would recommend this shop without hesitation, you will find Helen helpful and direct.
