Hi bob, I don't usually leave comments on videos but I have one piece of advice.you can choose weather or not to take it 😃. When I started making pens very regularly I decided to take the plunge and buy a blank drilling chuck and a mandrel saver, is the best use of money I've found so far other than my carbide tools and my lathe of course. Keep up the good work! -Oliver
@RJBWoodTurner7 жыл бұрын
+Oliver Andrews Hello Oliver, I have those items but choose not to use them. When drilling on the lathe, the holes are sloppier. Plus with many of the blanks I make, their not square and don't lend themselves very well the the chuck application. Your idea is a good one it just doesn't work for me. Thank you very much for your comment I do appreciate it. Regards, Bob
@oliverandrewsracing7 жыл бұрын
RJBWoodTurner at first when I started issuing the church I couldn't get any of the holes to drill straight, but then I tried drilling with a 1/4" split point drill bit then finishing up with the brad point 7mm and it is much easier to get rid of a good chunk of the material before Sui the brad point drillbit. Hope this can clear up what I was trying to say -oliver

When I made my modified pen, it was very difficult to remove the mechanism. So I very lightly filed the ridges on the transmission until it stayed in, but was relatively easy to grip the slippery nib and pull it out. While testing the removability, don't insert all the way. You really don't have to worry about it staying together, because during use, the pen is being pressed together. I do like your new blank construction :>) Cheers

Bob, have you tried to soak your veneers? May be beneficial in assembly and the water will just evaporate and the glue should hold tight and strong as equal as if done dry. I would like to try this out in the spring time (unheated shop up here), I will try just straight cuts vice your sine wave, to see if the pieces match up better. It is a wonderful abstract look.

There really is no benefit, it’s just fun to mix it up and not make the same ole thing all the time. I have a play list of all the modified pens I’ve made. When you’re on one of my videos, click my name and it will take you to my home page. There is a playlist selection on there. Regards, Bob

Would have been nice to see you drill the centre, did you plane them square before drilling, other wise a lovely project.

+William Donnelly Thank you, I didn't plane them, I ran them through the band saw just to clean them up a bit. I'll show the drilling the next time I use one. I have an idea for another modified pen, based on a different kit, and plan to use one of these blanks. Regards, Bob

Great process. If someone, me, doesn't have a planner am I 'sol' in terms of making this style of pen? I'm new to pen turning.

I think you could still make the blank work. You really only need some way to cut it. Scroll saw, band saw, coping saw, anything will work. Regards, Bob

Looks great, just not sure how cost effective that much time creating a pen blank is if you intend to sell them.

I recently made a batch of them on the bandsaw. If you do several at a time it you can really knock the total time investment down. Plus, now I sell the blanks when I make these, not finished pens. Regards, Bob

Bob was wondering what you call this blank? My first thought was crazy blanks, kinda like dizzy bowl or drunken cutting board pattern. Very cool, the veneer ties it all together. Thanks for sharing.

+John Fisher That's funny John, The directory on the computer and the original video file was called Crazy Blank. I wasn't really sure how to title it. Regards, Bob

Now thats so bad a$$ i love it but my fears are be turning it and it just blows the side out of it just so much cuts and glue i don't think mine make it past drill for my tube lol great job

I use Titebond II wood glue, it’s very stable and the blanks hold together very well. If your blanks are blowing apart while drilling clear the bit more often and pause to allow the bit to cool. Regards, Bob

Hi there, love this pen so much I may actually attempt something like this... Do you have a picture of a completely finished pen/pencil in this design?

Thank you. I turned this blank but never assembled it into a kit. So sorry but I don’t have an example. Regards, Bob

Those blanks are awesome! I've done some segmented blanks, but nothing that was quite so cool looking at the end. How much do you think those pens would sell for? New lights are probably the most underrated shop upgrade, especially for a youtuber, good call.

+Andrew Helgeland Thank you Andrew, A Slimline with this blank $30.00. The price goes up with the kit choice. Regards, Bob
