Universal Pen Mandrel Kit
The Universal Pen Mandrel Kit by Planet Manufacturing is an innovative design that allows the majority of pen kits available to be turned on a single mandrel. The adjustable shaft length enables the user to decide whether it is desirable to turn one or two pen components at a time. Each kit is supplied complete with 3 parallel spacers for turning pens with an outside barrel diameter of 7mm and 4 cones for barrel diameters of 7.5 - 12mm. The cones have a 90 degree included angle which will not mouth the barrel or cause any other damage in normal use.

If you are working from your home / workshop or even out and about, such as camping or fishing this multi-blade knife is ideal for keeping yourself busy carving or whittling that newly found timber.

The pictures below shows examples of use for carving with the Carvin’ Jack

2. V-Scorp: The V-Scorp’s sharp corners leave a clean line of demarcation between two adjacent surfaces, much the same as outlining with a pencil
3. Chisel: This handy carpenter’s tool is great for setting a hinge, carving lettering or smoothing off hard-to-reach convex surfaces.
4. Detail Knife: Its fine point can be used for detailing delicate areas or quickly removing wood from a convex surface as you would with any whittling knife
5. Hook Knife: The hook knife is designed for carving in hollow areas where a straight blade can’t reach. It’s ideal for hollowing spoons or roughing out larger amounts of waste wood.
