Book 'Stifte drechseln'

The definitive guide to turning high quality pencils. Handcrafted pens with cases made of solid wood are among the most popular accessories. They are often given away as gifts, but are also a great way for craftsmen to make money with them. Up to now there has not been a German-language book on the production of high-quality pens. With the guidance of Christensen and Burningham, we present the leading title on the subject. The book provides instructions for pens, mechanical pencils, and ballpoint pens. The authors discuss the necessary equipment and of course the diverse materials. Alternatives to wood as a housing material are also discussed, and the processing of the various metal parts is shown in detail. An extremely clear text and numerous descriptive photographs guide the reader through the various work steps. No aspect of this variant of woodturning goes unmentioned. Beginners as well as the experienced will benefit from this book.
