Everything Except the Lathe – Pen Turning Starter Set (Makes 5 Pens)
Ready to start turning pens but already own a lathe, turning tools, and sandpaper? This carefully assembled Everything Except the Lathe Pen Turning Starter Set gives you everything else you need to build your first five handcrafted pens with confidence.
One of the biggest frustrations for new pen turners isn't turning the wood—it's figuring out which pen-making accessories are actually required. This complete starter package eliminates the guesswork by including the essential pen-turning tools, five Funline pen kits, and five pre-drilled, pre-tubed wood blanks, so you can spend your time creating instead of shopping.
Even better, the blanks come with 7mm Slimline brass tubes already installed, allowing you to skip the most difficult part of pen making. Simply square the ends, mount the blank, turn, finish, and assemble.
Whether you're learning a new hobby, teaching someone else, or looking for the perfect gift for an aspiring woodturner, this kit provides everything needed to experience the satisfaction of creating beautiful handcrafted pens.

Why Pre-Drilled & Pre-Tubed Matters
Many first-time pen makers discover that drilling the blank straight and installing the brass tube are often the most difficult parts of the process.
This kit eliminates both steps.
With the brass tubes already professionally installed, you can begin with the enjoyable part—mounting the blank and turning your pen. It's the fastest, easiest way to experience successful pen turning while building confidence before tackling more advanced projects.
