Hi Billy!!!! I love how you went into detail to explain to us exactly how you turned this pen and all the tips and tricks that go with it. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talents!!!!!

[@TheMessyStudio]

My pleasure, Robin! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RubenWoodcraft]

nice work Billy. There is just something special about pens, don't know what it is, but even a simple one is always satisfying to make

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you very much, Ruben! Yes, they can be quite satisfying. But monotonous if you do them all the time. At least for me. Maybe because I've turned so many over the years.

@charliejones5430 cool!

Nice pen Billy. I hope you show us the color fill of the engraving. I engrave my own pens, but have yet to engrave a resin pen.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Chris! I will post it on my YT Community page when I get it color filled.

[@deanandrews7748]

Love this. Any idea what size washers you used. Thanks.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you! I think one is 1/2" and the other 3/8".

[@lawrencealdridge-yk6dm]

NICE WORK !!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Larry! Cheers!

[@hustlinghard8081]

What size washers did you use as bushings? Love the look of the modified slimline!!

[@TheMessyStudio]

I believe one is 3/8" and the other is 1/2". Thank you!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Great video Billy. I have never seen a modified Slimline done that way before. I stopped using Polyester Resin years ago because of the bad chipping no matter how gently I turned it. Great video my friend and one I'm keeping for when I give this a go. Take care Billy. Cheers, Huw PS What were the outside diameters of the washers you used please?

[@TheMessyStudio]

PR can be tricky for sure, Huw. This was even more so... probably because of how old it was. The washers are 12 & 14 mm in diameter.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@TheMessyStudio Thanks Billy. I tired one a while ago that was probably 4 years old. It was un-turnable.

[@HarnealMedia]

Nice pen Billy

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Steve!

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Neat pen

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Chris!

[@lizsanabria5541]

Good evening Billy 😊

[@TheMessyStudio]

Hi, Liz!

[@Paolo27688]

Veramente molto interessante bravissimo 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheMessyStudio]

Grazie!

[@ValioMadre7]

What, no music in the background?

[@TheMessyStudio]

Not usually. At least any more. I used to.

[@Charles-q4l5q]

I use a Zebra Z grip click pen parts to turn a wood pen. Total cost to make a turned pen using Zebra parts is less than $3. Have you tried this method?

[@TheMessyStudio]

I have not. I may look into that.

[@paultowns4273]

Always cannot understand when people have a lathe and say they are wood turning when in fact they are “scraping”.😩

[@TheMessyStudio]

If you've watched many of my turning videos, you've seen me "cut". This is resin. Resin likes scrapers. Sometimes it doesn't mind the skew. Just depends on the resin. Do you have a lathe? I'd be happy to watch some of your "turning"!
