Tactile Turn

Meet Will Hodges.

Will’s job is pretty simple. He makes pens out of high-quality machined materials that all come with a lifetime warranty, just in case.

But why pens?

Because everybody needs one. And Will believes that everyday people deserve to use something beautiful, thoughtfully-designed, and well-made every single day.

Will started Tactile Turn in 2012 in the outskirts of Dallas, TX, because he was frustrated; frustrated with how disconnected we are from the things we buy and how they’re made; frustrated that high-quality, small-scale manufacturing has become so inaccessible to the average person.

So, he took things into his own hands and bought an old, WWII-era lathe, rented 160ft² in the corner of a friend’s workshop and made his first 1,000 pens by hand.
