Using a stop block is much more accurate and much more easy instead of establishing a line every time. Great video!

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

Very good idea as some others had pointed out. I don't know why I didn't use a stop block. Sometimes you get so focused and closely involved with your initial thought process and your desired result I blind myself. Thanks for the comment.

[@barywane]

have seen this type of segmented blanks, was wondering how they were done.Now I know, Will have to give it a try. Thanks for the clear, easy to follow instructions!

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+Barrie Hanold you are welcome, thank you for watching and commenting. Let me know how yours turn out. Regards

[@willemnicolaasvanwitzenbur6273]

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Great tutorial! You have definitely inspired me to try this scalloped design.

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

Thanks for watching and good luck

[@neilswinnerton8550]

hi loved the idea for scalloped pen i have not long started to make pens you are very inspirational for pen turning with great ideas and tutorial videos thank you : )

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

Thank you Neil

[@tedspens]

Thanks for sharing the know how. I'm just getting into segmenting and will definitely be doing some scallops.

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

They are fun and good luck

[@DKWalser]

Lynn -- Thank you for an interesting and instructive video. You made the process easy to understand. One suggestion: You might consider flipping the orientation of your camera, so that it captures the action "upside down". That way, when viewed "right-side up", we'll see things from your perspective. That way, when you draw a number on the blank (for example), it won't be upside down to the viewer.

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+David Walser LOL - I actually filmed it upside down but flipped it in editing. Next time I'll consider your thought and see how it looks. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you got something out of it.

[@orelygarcia]

Great Technic, Lynn.Thumbs up.

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+OG Timbercraft Hey there Orley - Thanks

[@BillMallin]

Much appreciate you showing how to do this.

[@edwinleach4013]

Great video. Learned something new. Thanks.

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+Edwin Leach Thanks Edwin I hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

[@francocostantino]

Ho iniziato adesso a costruire penne e grazie ai tuoi video sto imparando parecchio, complimenti per le tue realizzazioniveramente ben fatte grazie per averle condiviso con noi.ti sento parlare di materiali come alluminio ,ottone ma io non so perché non riesco a trovare una colla corretta per l'ottone,puoi darmi qualche suggerimento? Grazie

[@edwinleach7401]

Best wishes Lynn. Hope you are doing well.

[@jhinze]

Very nicely done. I enjoyed the video!

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+Jim Hinze Thanks Jim I'm glad you tuned in. I appreciate it.

[@stevem268]

great video, one comment/question, why not use a stop block on the sled to register your cuts? i do that all the time to create celtic knots. your scallopped ends would be great to replace a centreband on a slimline or euro roundtop type pen!

[@rodjaworski93]

awesome pen Lynn thank you for sharing im gonna have to try that one.

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+Rod Jaworski Thanks Rod - send me a picture of what you come up with, I'l like to see it.

[@gregjones3453]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

You are welcome

[@drjbg230]

Thank you Lynn for your tutorials. They are a pleasure to learn from. In this video, you turn the blank to 5/8" before drilling for the tube. Do you think it matters if you drill and glue in the tube first, then create the 60 degree chamfer and turn between centers?

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

Probably doesn’t matter thanks for watching

[@tonyj2216]

Lynn, great video. How thick is the aluminum you use? How does it affect your tools when turning it? Thanks.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Lynn, Found this video on the recommended list. I've just posted my 50th video which was a segmented pen. I would love to know what you think. Take care Lynn. Cheers, Huw PS Just re-subscribed as KZbin had, for some reason, un-subscribed me from your channel. This has happened quite a few times. Huw

[@kevinmiller3290]

Lynn, very good video. One question. Any reason one couldn't set a stop block on the sled when the first cut is made so that each side is guaranteed to cut the next 45 at the exact same point? That way you wouldn't have to draw the reference line and eyeball it with each cut. Just wondering if that would work. Thanks again for a great video!

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+Kevin Miller Hello Kevin, that sounds good but I've never tried it. Let me know how it works for you. Thanks for watching.

[@gs121002]

My thoughts exactly, Kevin.

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Very good teacher sir very nice work :)

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+TJ'S WOODWORKING SHOP Thanks TJ, always good to hear from you.

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Lynn and it's very good to hear from you too sir :)

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

Thanks TJ

[@tomasrosas3474]

Lynn Lacey excellent video question were i can buy pen kits

[@karlriley1314]

Nice

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

Thanks Karl

[@binnsbrian]

Very interesting process. What is the marker or pen you used for marking. It looks unusual to me. Also if I could offer a suggestion about your logo on your sled, I would reverse it so it shows up right side up on the video. It always pays to advertise.

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

+Brian Binns The logo on the sled is right my friend good eyes :)

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+Brian Binns Hey Brian thanks for commenting, I picked up that pencil at Lowes, it is a Dixon REACH with 5.6 mm lead with a sharpener in the cap. Pretty handy.

[@jamesbennett1950]

Hi there. You mentioned gluing Aluminum to the blanks. What glue do you recommend.

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+James Bennett James I use Locktite 5 minute two part. epoxy. Thanks for asking

[@waynenewcross6594]

How can I get to the video to make your cutting jig

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

Thanks it should be on my channel, if I remember it is a two video series

[@CASSTONECUSTOMS]

Can you show how to continue up the blank with pattern, making a almost fish scale look?

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

It will be a while before I can do that but you just keep repeating the process until you have a blank long enough. Thanks for watching

[@jamesbennett1950]

Do you rough up the aluminum up?

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+James Bennett yes sir I believe that is mentioned in the video

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

+James Bennett I scuff it up with 220 and clean it with denatured alcohol to remove any oil

[@jpjp9111]

You can turn aluminum?

[@LynnLaceyLLWW]

Absolutely - good luck and thanks for watching

[@jpjp9111]

@@LynnLaceyLLWW Oh cool. Thanks. Do I bind it to the wood with wood glue as use the same tools just like any other piece of wood? Sorry for the questions. I'm new to this.

[@gs121002]

I get a 404 Page Error with that URL.
