Love your videos Bob! I have a couple suggestions. I have build large RC airplanes for 29 years and one of the main things I see people do is use the accelerator too often and too soon. ALWAYS give the thin CA at least 10 minutes to soak in the fibers before hitting it with the accelerator. I have seen many planes crash because the CA did not soak into the fibers. It will also keep the fibers from splintering out around the tube. Also, I would sand each piece a little on a flat surface to help get the tightest bond possible. It will eliminate almost all of the gaps. I am going to try this pen blank for sure!

Totally gorgeous pen!! The video interplay between you two cracked me up!! What a couple of clowns! :) It was really fun to watch the whole process, and I especially enjoyed the problem-solving. Anyone can turn a pen when there are no issues associated. But what about when there are problems? That's the tricky part. I love your good ideas for solutions, and it's really fun to watch your process. This is a great way to save a pen with an end blowout! I did that once and ended up just sanding the end down, but I considered doing what you did. Nice to see it works so nicely. The result is quite slick. "Yeah, I planned it all along!!" :D Ooooh, I had to stop the video to take a screeny of the slick pen jig for the sander. That would be nice to have! Thank you for the show, it turned out very nicely! :) ONE question: I noticed after assembly that the pattern didn't' line up perfectly when the two were screwed together or when the bottom was screwed into the top for writing. Are you able to adjust this placement or did you need to plan that when you assembled the kit? I remember having a kit where things didn't quite line up properly because I didn't realize I couldn't adjust after the pen was assembled. Same problem here? Hopefully you were able to adjust so the sweetest part of the pattern was most exposed and lined up perfectly with the other side! :)

Also Posted this on Zac's Page Is Aluminite a thermoplastic once mixed and set? Thinking you could make an interesting mid-line segmented pen like the aluminum can segmented pen but with a Aluminite. Use the cut blank as a form. So make a sandwich of pen blank, aluminite and then pen blank. Put everything in an oven, weight it down so as the alumite softened it would slowly form to the blank.

Hey Bob, nice job as usual. I have 3 different pen kits at home and a very dear friend turned me some bushings. I have never turned a pen and I'm nervous to do so, for several reasons. The first being that my pillar drill is cheap and not brilliant, the second is I'm worried how do I finish it. Do I sand, then C.A, then micro mesh then polish? There's so much to know and so many different types of pens. I have a 7mm mandrel, will all the pens fit that with certain bushings or do I have to buy different mandrel??? Sorry to throw so many questions at you, it is just that I desperately want to make some for some dear people and I want to get them as nice as possible. Cheers, Sean

@RJBWoodTurner

7 жыл бұрын

Hello Sean, I say go for it with a scrap piece of wood. You can buy, very cheaply, replacement tubes. Turn the pen, sand it then apply a C/A finish. Once the C/A dries you can use the Micro Mesh to polish it to a brilliant shine. The 7mm mandrel is all you need. Each pen requires a set of bushings but they are all made to slide onto a standard mandrel. Practicing with a scrap will let you see just how everything works and build your confidence. Once you make one or two pens you'll see just how easy it is and then you can move on to the nicer wood and kits.Regards,Bob
