This was a lovely presentation with the tools to hand Mr. Clothier. Your correct about how things are displayed in a sales environment...very important.... I don't think its going to be long now before you find yourself having to make new batches of pens for your shop...

[@JohnClothier]

glenn moreland thanks Glenn. I hope so could so with bringing some cash in lol

[@glennmoreland6457]

John Clothier They'll move will them Mr. Clothier... All you've done is highlight them and draw peoples attention to them... The pens will sell themselves I'm sure...

[@JohnClothier]

glenn moreland I guess time will tell 😁

[@glennmoreland6457]

John Clothier Well it all looks nicely laid out....that draws people in...

[@JohnClothier]

Really nice display stand John. Just came across your chanel and in the process of setting up my retirement hobby of pens. resin and wood turning. Will check out the rest of your videos and have subscribed..

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Buster. I hope my videos are of interest. Best of luck with your new hobby!

[@alanscannell]

Great display John looks really well 😁

[@JohnClothier]

Woodturning by Alan Scannell thanks buddy

[@alanmullock381]

Nice build John,think I'll build it first and then flock all the visible faces👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JohnClothier]

Alan Mullock thanks. Flocking would be a better option. I looked into getting the kit but it was so much more expensive than the roll of sticky back felt I bought for £4. If I was making several of them I would definetly make and then flock for sure

[@TheMessyStudio]

Very attractive display, John! Billy

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Billy

[@HarnealMedia]

Nice build John

[@JohnClothier]

Harneal Media thanks Steve

[@PaulLockwood]

Great job John. Cutting those grooves is no way as easy as you think. I did mine by hand router for my box and spent ages as I had to do 3 passes because I needed a flat part in the bottom. Well done!

[@jbwoodturning2600]

good idea i'v been thinking of this type of thing yours is better then i had come up with great video thanks

[@JohnClothier]

JBWoodturning Thanks Jim. I'm sure your ideas would have been as good if not better

[@TheWoodgineer]

Great to see this end of the pen making process and as always great video John! :)

[@JohnClothier]

The Woodgineer Thanks Chris

[@wawawalaa]

genius! would love to see this built into a pen display chest!

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks!

[@missteeturns]

I've been thinking about making a pen display stand for sometime. I like the way you've made yours. Unfortunately I don't have a router or a table saw. So a little more thinking time for me.

[@JohnClothier]

Miss Tee's Woodturning Thanks. You could do it with a hand saw and the router is just an easy way. You could just use small strips of wood rather than route it o7t

[@missteeturns]

As I'm into retro I'm thinking of a stand in a style of the 50s or 60s. I'm not sure how yet but I'll come up with something.

[@untbunny]

Lovely display for the pens. Tags can be a problem. Might I suggest to hang the tags off the back? The string leading to the pens will be more streamlined. Just a thought as tags can be made with various length cords.

[@JohnClothier]

Rebecca Eddy thank you Rebecca and thanks for the advice. I totally agree. I have since removed the tags completely and put a small price list on the side.

[@untbunny]

John Clothier Thank you for reading my comment. You have such a great eye for detail that I hesitated to suggest. Hope the pen sales skyrocket with the new display.

[@JohnClothier]

Rebecca Eddy I always read every comment and do my best to reply to them all too. I always welcome any suggestion put to me. Please don't hesitate to offer any tip, advice or suggestion. They are all very welcome. Thank you

[@MarikaIomaLantz]

Love it! I need something that I can take with me that not only displays the items but also protect them in the car and so. Something you would come up with you think?

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks! I have a zip folder that holds around 40 pens. I use that for transporting pens.

[@turningioma7541]

@@JohnClothier ok. I need to come with something that is both display AND safe

[@JohnClothier]

You could put a strap across the display stand. That would hold the pens on the stand and could be removed later

[@WilliamHuntLatheCraft]

Great project. But how do you hang on to your pens? Family, friends "borrow'" all of mine.

[@JohnClothier]

William Hunt Thanks William. Oh I solved that by overloading them with freebies when I first started making pens lol

[@StudioJLT]

Flocking might have been a little easier, but you can’t argue with those results. Also, taking smaller bites with the router would help with the problems you had with it.

[@JohnClothier]

Thanks Buddy. I totally agree flocking would be better. I looked into getting the kit for flocking but compared to the £4 the sticky felt cost it just wasn't worth it. If I was making several I would definetly flock them. The ks for the tip on the router. Not a tool I am very experienced!
