Father’s Day 2023 is just around the corner and, if you’re anything like us, you struggle to find the perfect gift for the father figure in your life.
Look no further!
William Wood-Write is here to share our top 5 favourite Pen, Pencil and Project Kits that are guaranteed to impress the Dad who has everything.
1. Barbecue Tool Set
If your dad likes to call himself “King of The Grill”, surprise him this Father’s Day with a handcrafted set of custom Barbecue Tools!
Each set includes project kits for 3 different barbecue tools, tongs, a fork and a spatula, all crafted with high quality food grade 304 Stainless Steel. A black zippered pouch is also included in each Barbecue Tool Set, perfect for Summer trips to the cottage!
This set is designed to be turned between centres, using a Bottle Stopper Chuck in the headstock and a Live Centre in the tailstock. The turning kit is easily assembled with epoxy- we love to use C-Tough Two-Part Epoxy Glue for this particular project.
This Barbecue Tool Set pictured here was crafted with Ancient Bog Oak, segmented with pieces of Red Ribbon Acrylic Project Block, creating a stunning and forever useful Father’s Day gift that is sure to say “I love you, Dad”.
2. Ratcheting Screwdriver Kit
For the Dads that are out in their workshop with the rising of the sun, the Ratcheting Screwdriver Project Kit is the perfect Father’s Day gift. The Ractcheting Screwdriver includes #1 and #2 reversible slotted Phillips head/Flat head Tips.
This screwdriver, once finished, will also include a 1/4″ and 5/16″ reversible shaft that can be used as a 1/4″ or 5/16″ hex driver (two functions), and a 7/16″ hex nut driver.
In terms of turning and assembly, this kit is designed to be turned between centres using a Drive Centre in the headstock and a Live Centre in the tailstock, and comes together quickly with the help of a 5, 15 or 30 minute epoxy glue.
The Ratcheting Screwdriver kit, picture here in Blackwood, is not only functionally brilliant, but a beautiful addition to any Dad’s toolbox.
3. Cigar Pen and Pencil
If your Dad is an “indoor Dad”, show him you appreciate him this Father’s Day with a Cigar Ballpoint Pen, Cigar Pencil or combine the two to make a matching set!
Some popular pen kits, like our Budget Fancy Slimline, are designed to be slender and feel thin and light in the hand. But, the Cigar Pen and the Cigar Pencil are designed to provide our loyal customers with a larger, hearty writing utensil that still catches your eye.
Not only does this kit resemble a hefty cigar, the barrel of the Cigar Pen and Pencil is thicker than your average pen, requiring a 10mm drill bit to make, leaving you with a handsome and heavy pen that is sure to feel right at home in any Dad’s hands.
The Cigar Pen and Pencil are available in the following platings, so you can find the one your Dad will love:
Gun Metal (Pen)
Titanium Gold (Pen)
Two-Tone Chrome (Pen)
Blue Titanium (Pen)
4. Razor, Stand and Brush Kit
Nothing says “Dad was here” like hair all over the bathroom counter. Upgrade your Dad’s shaving experience this Father’s Day with a Razor, Razor Stand and Brush Bundle!
We offer two versions of the Razor Bundle, one featuring a Safety Razor Kit that uses standard safety-style razor blades, and the other featuring a Fusion Razor Kit that is compatible with Fusion-style cartridges (available at your local drugstore). We can’t promise he’ll clean up the sink, but we can promise this beautiful set will distract the eye from those scattered beard hairs.
Our Razor Bundles include one each of the following project kits:
Available in both Chrome and Gun Metal platings, the Razor, Razor Stand and Brush Bundle is the gift that keeps on giving – just replace your old blade or cartridge with a new one once dull, and your razor is good as new again!
Show your Dad you care about him this Father’s Day by providing him with an old-fashioned, personalized shaving system!
5. Salt and Pepper Grinders
For the Dad whose catchphrase is “Get out of my kitchen!”, surprising him this Father’s Day with a handcrafted Pepper Mill or Grinder is sure to touch his heart.
William Wood-Write offers a huge selection of Pepper Grinder and Pepper Mills, all with their own unique features!
For those looking for something small and portable, the Handy One-Handed Peppermill Kit produces perfectly ground pepper with the push of a button.
Designed to be turned on a mandrel, this easy-to-assemble Peppermill is a thoughtful, and extremely convenient, gift for any chef.
But, when it comes to a truly unique, breathtaking pepper grinder, the EZ-Assemble Vintage Style Salt and Peppermill Kit is the way to go.
Available with a top or side crank, and in Antique Copper or Antique Brass, this old-fashioned grinder features a new EZ capsule system, which houses all the grinder components in an innovative ceramic grinder capsule so you can save time and avoid the hassle of installing the grinder components into the kit yourself.
