I am a woodworking hobbyist whose interest in woodworking began in an 8th grade wood shop class. Special interest lie in furniture making and repair, making of heirloom toys, band saw boxes and fine writing instruments.
I'll post "How To" videos of all types of woodworking and wood turning projects, methods and techniques inclusive of joinery techniques, jig making, finishing techniques, pen turning etc..

Disclaimer: My videos represent how I go about my woodworking. They are for your entertainment and not instruction. My safety is MY responsibility and YOUR safety is YOUR responsibility. Before beginning any woodworking be familiar with your equipment and always - always wear the the proper personal protective equipment. When performed safely, woodworking can be fun and rewarding. Keep it fun by working safe.

    Recommend wipping the Ali down with denatured alcohol or meths to remove any leftover oils and residue before gluing which may help

    Thanks Lynn. I watched this a few years ago, but time goes by and I haven't done much pen turning recently. Seeing this as I start turning again reminds me to not order any pen boxes or gift tubes, but rather make my own from some scrap wood.

    For the sake of not wanting pocket hole screws could you make each 23 7/8" circle could you make six 9" long slots either all the way thru or half way through the thickness of the circle?

    Hello Sir, great video! On my lathe, when I drill blanks like this that MUST be drilled through the segments and NOT just the middle of the blank (as you described) How do you accomplish that when the chuck that I mount the blank into wants to center the blank. This makes my markings irrelevant. Hope that makes sense. I was trying to sand the blank perfectly so that dimensionally the desired drilling was actually centered on the blank.

    So strange to be watching this from "the future" where lumber prices aren't what they were 7 years ago. Now it's about $10 per board for cedar. Made me think when you said "Prices may vary in your area" that it would be funny if you'd said, "Prices may vary depending on what year you're watching this from." 🙂

    Great video. I just started turning pens and I did an acrylic that had some gold in it so it didn't look too bad. I have a bunch of different color thick sharpies. I know I wont be able to get inside the blank, but can I use them on the tubes? Thanks.

    To set the decals, you can also use a finish like Helmsman Spar urethane from Minwax. This has the added benefit of UV protection, if the stuff you use doesn't. The Minwax stuff also doesn't take that long to cure. You also know that wetting your blank didn't do anything, right? Just beaded and then dried. No harm in doing it, but it's a step that seems unnecessary given the CA finish.
