A little late, but just wanted to say how much I appreciate your recognition of our veterans. What a great idea to make a special pen and pass on to a veteran. I am just getting started in pen turning, but will make it a point to make a pen just to give to a vet. Thanks for the inspiration.

I know this video is old. At this point it appears to be five years old. Just like most Americans, I know that veterans have given a lot, have sacrificed a lot, and basically when someone signs up for the military, they have increased their odds of dying at an earlier age than they would have otherwise. My main point is that I want to thank you for reminding me what a huge sacrifice both veterans and their families make and have made to protect all of us. I also think it’s awesome that you were doing something concrete to show your thanks, and multiplying that gift of thanks in such a creative manner.

Just a few questions. Sanding with the metal bushes on, usually, in my experience, ends up with the metal from the bushings bleeding into the grain of the wood. Therefore leaving a darker grey circle at the ends. Applying CA to the blanks with the metal bushings still on would leave it stuck firmly to the bushings.

Just place if a thin coat of C/A as a sanding sealer won’t usually glue the bushings to the lathe. If it does, tap the bushing on the lather bed and it will come lose. Regards, Bob
