Zac, I have been turning pens for 20 years I have made them out of a lot of different things never from coffee beans until today. I thought I maybe should watch a video to answer some questions I been thinking about, I came across your video I have never replied to any video I have watched, I must tell you that your video on making coffee bean blanks and turning them answered all my questions and then some. So thank you for a very informative video.

That's awesome! I'm glad it helped out, that's always my hope 😀 Thanks for letting me know!

I like the clean with acetone and dry method. I'm going to use that! Here's my process...mix your resin pour a thin layer in your molds...drop your beans...using a heat gun expedite the cure to the point where the resin thickens or almost hardens...pour more resin and repeat the process till the mold is full. When it comes to turning I'm a little unorthodox I use a drill with a 3" sanding disk minimum 80G. I can hit it just about as hard as I want without ever having a blow out! I use the sanding disk method on 90% of my pens. Never do I get blow outs. I've never had a problem drilling or barrel triming the coffee bean blanks. I do however agree you need to CA finish or seal the final product somehow. Thanks for the tips.

I'm excited to see what you make, you'll be fine without the stabilizing. Although the beans did behave a bit better, it's tough to justify the time and expense in stabilizing them. Filling with CA doesn't add much time to the process, and it's usually impossible to see the filled areas in the end anyway. Have fun casting and turning them :-)

Zac - very helpful. I'm trying my first batch. Something I tried that seemed to help was putting a piece of Saran Wrap type plastic wrap on bottom of the mold's lid. Also put a screw into top middle of lid with ¾ of it exposed. Gave me something to grab with pliers and pull off. The plastic wrap kept lid from sticking at all. It left a few little ripples in surface where plastic had wrinkles but those will all disappear once I turn the blanks.

Never occurred to me to just put a screw in the top LOL Simple and brilliant! I never thought about using saran wrap as a release agent either, that's a great idea :-)

Would stabilized beans still smell as good or would you not be able to smell the coffee?

Hi Zac, I hope that this is not a stupid question, I am just about to start making my own blanks, feeling quite confident after watching most if not all of your videos. I is about the mould that I am making out of an old cutting board (HDPE?) I only want to start in a small way. What would you say the smallest mould that I should make (I know that I haven't told you how long the piece of string is) I am starting with slimline pens.

@ZacHiggins

7 жыл бұрын

It's definitely not a dumb question, I'm glad to help out. I guess it just depends on what you plan to make really. For pens blanks, the smallest mold I use is a single blank mold approximately 1" wide by 5" long, and I usually make them about 1.5" deep just to give a little extra room up top. You could technically cut the length in half if you wanted for single blank pens like Sierra's, but you could run into curing issues if you go too small depending on which resin you use. Probably best to just stick with the 5" long one, you shouldn't have any problems that way

Hey Zac! I'm planning on making quite a few of these. I belong to a coffee club and these are going to be a hit. I'm going to make them out of our favorite coffee beans. Since I'm making a bunch of them I decided to go with stabilizing. I bought a pump and chamber and got some cactus juice and am about ready to get started. I watched your series on stabilizing and I have a couple of questions. Do I have to clean the hardened cactus juice off of each bean? When you stabilized your bangle blanks you mentioned cleaning off the bleed out. Sounds pretty tedious cleaning a billion beans! Also, do the beans clump together when you bake them? Do they need to be in a single layer or something? And last (for now), in this video you dry your beans in the oven after the acetone. You say both over night and 24 hours. Is it necessary to bake them for a full 24 hours? The only reason this is an issue is because I'm using my regular oven and need to know if it's actually going to be tied up for 24 hours. I don't suppose you made a video of the coffee bean stabilization process? Thanks! Paul

Zak, I really enjoy all your videos and I have learned alot from watching them. You have inspired me to make some pretty creative and unique pens. Which brings me to my question... I am trying to cast a pen blanks with Alumilite Clear around a barrel that is wrapped in cigar tobacco and the cigar label. The problem is that moisture keeps making the final blank cloudy. I let the blank sit for weeks before I cast. I have even tried using ModPodge (3 coats) to seal the tobacco and label before I cast the blank. I know it has to be a moisture problem because the rest of the blank is crystal clear, it's only near the barrel that is cloudy. So, is there a better resin that isn't as sensitive to moisture, or is their a better way to seal the barrel? Thanks so much. I'll send photos once I figure this out! BTW, did you know that the 'contact me' form on your website isn't working? I've tried it form multiple computers and network with no results. Eric P

have you tried using plastic or PVC tubes for casting you're pen blanks

@ZacHiggins

8 жыл бұрын

I use them sometimes, but I generally prefer pouring into a tray. You get a different color swirl pattern when you cast vertically, I'll have to try casting coffee beans in tubes though, that might be a good way to do it. Much less waste and might be a lot cleaner. My main concern is trapping air pockets and possibly not having enough time to cast them using Alumilite White since it sets up in 2 minutes. If I find tubes work for this, I'll do an update video on it for sure. Thanks for the idea :-) I always appreciate questions like this that make you stop and think and try something different out. I usually like to try different methods out, but for some reason I never tried casting coffee bean blanks in tubes before. The other thing that it will help out with is chipout on the corners. Much easier to get beans flying out when you're nibbling the corners off. Starting out round shaves a little time off plus it might help out a bit with the chipping.
