Good clear video, instructions, ❤ no music. Enjoyed watching

After making about 30 acrylic pens both slimline and cigar. I finally got round to making two wood pens today. I have a stack of wood blanks and I noticed your one piece. So I sat up and I am now paying close attention. Thank you. Bye the way the first thing I did was buy a pen press and a pen blank drilling vice so treat yourself when you can afford it.

Made my 1st 1 piece slim yesterday. I'll use your tips to improve on that one. Thanks. Good video.

Great job, thank you for sharing your awesome modified pen project. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County y

You did a great job thanks for sharing.

One of the best presentations I've seen yet.

so beautiful pen

I love that idea, my only question, does the mechanism sit in the wood tight enough to not drop or fall out easily?

The twist mechanism slides inside the upper brass tube. It's not dependent on the wood to stay in place. It's secure

I saw a nice tip for ca finishes. Instead of using a towl use a piece of plastic. It doesn't absorb the ca and you get a better coat

Well done

Just discovered your channel. Pen looks good very nice. thank you for sharing on how to build a one piece slim line. Will the same process work for a pencil? Thank you.

As long as it is a 2 half twist pencil then yes. You might need to alter it a bit for other kits

Very nice indeed, thanks for sharing. What is that dark patch just by the nib? 👍👍❤️❤️

Thanks very much. I believe that I 'burned' the CA finish a touch by not having enough water or applying too much pressure during the sanding process in that area. I'm not exactly sure.. this was one of the first ones I had done like this and enjoy the process.

Excellent excellent video!! You may want to consider losing the bracelet. Small detail. A question; I cannot find a rating on those kits as to quality I assume that some are better than others

Great video thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching!

I am loving these tutorials for slimline pens. I never liked the slimlines as they seemed too flimsy. I had all but given up pen making because of the cost. I'm not selling them and 12-15 bucks for a pen kit just got to be too much. You guys are giving me some good ideas for one piece and wood center band pens. Thanks a bunch! One other thing, on my completed one piece pens, they seem very difficult to twist. Are yours like that, too or am I doing something wrong?

try strongink (dot com) - much better prices for pen kits, though shipped from China (20-30 days, etc.)

Interesting..going to try in class..

Did you measure the blank? Sounds like you just eyeball ed it I'd like that dimension

Excellent idea with the drill press.

Thanks works great as a makeshift pen press if you're in a pinch!

How difficult is it to pull the insert out when you need to replace ink? Does it become ‘wobbly’ over time?

How do you change the refill?

Just pull the tip off.

how do you replace the ink cartridge. Gary

The downfall of this design is that you can't. It is a single cartridge pen.

Although you didn't glue the nib unit in place, you have to pull it out somehow to fit a refill. Have you tried this or are you treating it as a single use disposable please?

Good question. Since the mechanism and the nib are both pressed into the same brass tube, when you pull the nib out the mechanism comes with it. This allows you to change out the ink and then just re-insert the hole apparatus into the pen.

@@tonywells5454 yes. It is easy to remove and insert. I have changed the ink cartridge 3 times in this particular pen and have done 4 pens like this, all of which were easy to change the ink

Only problem I see is how would you change the ink cartridge

Good video, but I thought pen is too plain for my taste.

The idea behind this video was to instruct on making a single piece Slimline. I didn't want to add a bunch of intricacy and design out of fear of making it too complicated.

@@ROLLINGWITHTHEMORGANS yea you did good on that.

All that background noise though.

I see alot of pen makers drilling there holes by cranking the tail stock, pulling it out, pushing it back in and cranking the tail stock. Actually once the hole is started all you have to do is push the tail stock from behind and will drill easy.

To long ,,too much waffling , if you talk while doing (14.09 - 1600) yea, that's good .Enjoyed it anyway Regards Alf
