Thank you! 😊

Happy holidays! Thank you for stopping by! 💕

A mini lathe would probably work for this, but just make sure it can handle a drill chuck in the drive side. I'm not too familiar with the minis, but do have a smaller back-up Jet 1221 which also works great. I would probably steer away from a pen making lathe, although it may be able to get the job done, I don't know that they are meant for the load of a diamond painting pen (I could be wrong). I'd personally suggest something similar in size and power to the Rikon 70-105 to start out. That would give plenty of room to work, accept any needed accessories, have the power to turn any small project, and give a little room to grow from pens if you decide.

And to you as well! Thanks so much for joining us! 💕

Yep!

¡Hola! Veamos si el traductor de Google está funcionando. :) Tengo la suerte de haber probado muchas sierras de calar diferentes. He notado que Dewalt parece tener un corte muy agresivo, lo que significa que la hoja no se mueve en un ángulo de 90 grados. Aunque esto todavía es posible, las piezas de arriba pueden ser un poco diferentes de las piezas de abajo. Los fabricantes tienden a cambiar la forma en que fabrican sus artículos, por lo que es posible que hayan hecho un ajuste por esto. Desde mi experiencia, no recomendaría un Dewalt para obtener los mejores resultados, pero es posible.

There is no set standard, and there are many different grip styles. Unless there is a specific request, I vary the placement depending on the look of the blank. Sometimes I have a different placement on either end because some prefer having a different grip when using different placers. If you diamond paint yourself, take note to where you want to naturally hold the pen. If you do not yourself, check out some videos of people that are diamond painting, and watch their hands. I hope that helps 🙂

Thanks! and you are correct in the sandpaper regiment. I do skip the 8,000 and 10,000 occasionally with good results, but the polishes won't get out the initial scratches you usually end up with.

Happy Birthday! And Thank you! I love my Pegas, but I also had a Delta from the 90's that served me well for many years before this.

Thanks Marilyn! The pattern I used I had also made myself. I do not have it posted anywhere, but if you email me I can send you a copy. You can find my email by going to my link tree site: linktr.ee/kevinpkreations

Thanks Ronald! I'll update the description!
