How to Turn for Darts and Pens

It's been a while since I have had the opportunity to make some sawdust in the shop so I decided to do some turning this weekend. This video takes on that turning journey with me. I know it is a bit long, but hopefully you enjoy it.

One of the things I enjoy most is that even as your skills have increased, you haven't let your successes change you. Thank you for being so kind in sharing your knowledge and your willingness help anyone who needs it.

[@krystynscrbic]

I have no woodworking experience or know-how, but I really enjoy watching your videos. It's very relaxing to watch them! Thank you :)

[@kerendn]

Great video and beautiful craftsmanship, as always.

[@Xanadu245]

Glad to see you looking so happy. I know you haven't had as much time to put out videos as you want, but the quality of your videos hasn't lost anything. I really enjoy how personal you make each video like it's one on one instruction.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Great video, good to see you back in the shop. The darts, pen and bottle opener all turned out really nice. Thanks for the mention in the vid about the wood. I almost forgot what all I sent you. You have to be about out of it by now. Looking forward to the next video. Take care buddy.

[@JasonMcGinn]

Miss watching your videos!! Hope all is well! NEVER thought about making my own darts!!!!!

[@TylerMunds]

Really like the lapel mic. Makes for a very professional production. Fantastic video!

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Dave, I didnt show the bullet pen being made because I have another video that i did earlier showing the turning of the same style bullet pen which also used redheart... on my channel titled "My First Turned Project - Bullet Pen" Cheers Mate

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

interesting thought.. Ill poke around to see what kind of techniques are out there

[@TheBergy32]

I really like your homemade press. Seems like it would be easy and cost-effective to make!

[@wha64]

Great job Laney. Good to see you in the shop again. I'll have to try the darts.

[@CarlJacobson]

Great to have you back Laney, all the projects look great.

[@wdfwgagyfgagyga]

Doh, I'm already subscribed to you :D

[@kristopheralexis9911]

i realize I am kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@ikercrew8830]

@Kristopher Alexis i watch on flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@ichoozjc]

Nice to have you back Laney!

[@MRrwmac]

Merry Christmas and all my best to you in the coming new year!

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

Shure BLX14/PG85 wireless system with unidirectional lavalier mic .. Im very happy with the quality

[@nmeofdst8]

Nice video. Just a note, steel tip darts like these are weighed with tip and barrel and does not include the shaft and flight weight. So the darts you made are lighter than 20g.

[@chuckbranch3168]

good to have you back

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

I used it in this video.. but I will be making a bandsaw box video soon. a video centered around the new saw!!

[@Xanadu245]

Don't feel bad about it being a little more time between vids. It just makes the next one that much more enjoyable. Plus, unlike some services, the benefits of KZbin let me go back and watch or rewatch (which I do a lot) your older videos.

[@rhwoodshop]

Been missing you Laney. Glad to see you out in the shop. I love those darts and that press. Good to see you back!

[@MrArchiewilson]

Well Laney guess the safest place to stand is right in front of the board as you throw. Nice project, great video as usual thanks for posting.

[@patricknolan445]

I don't really have much interest in wood-turning projects Laney but I really enjoyed this video, and what a great result on all the projects,you should make 2 inlay cases for those darts also, it would be the perfect finish to a perfect project.

[@tefinn]

Welcome back Laney! Great video! You really have me wanting to get a lathe. I need to turn some stuff. I'll be checking out those Eurekazone vids.

[@davall35]

Hi Laney Yet another good to watch video, thoroughly enjoyed it, would have liked to see the Bullet Pen being made and assembled, cheers from over the pond. Dave

[@PlaustrumWoodworking]

Really great to see you back in front of the camera - Those darts look great, I haven't played darts in years but I'll have to say I was a tad better at hitting the board The pen and bottle opener look great - Nice work - Looking forward to seeing more of you on here - Cheers

[@TheTalkingGrape]

I am writing this comment even before I start watching. I am suspecting that Laney has gotten very good at the lathe and turning on the lathe I also suspect that Laney will talk alot :D (thats a good thing because he gives awesome information) I have never played darts before but I have thrown one of them magnetic ones at the fridge but nothing real fancy like yours Laney. Thanks for the great video.

[@MyTurtleCollab]

Lovin the longer videos, I feel as though with shorter videos people are forced to cut certain things or not show what they want. With longer videos I feel that viewers can decide what they wanna see and skip to whatever and have the choice to view what the author puts out, and not make the author limit themselves. Great video

[@lash2Ruby]

Love the coasters and your workshop is amazing :)

[@bocfus72]

Great video Laney, like the othr people I want a lathe also, glad to see you back in the shop, keep up the great work!

[@Alpha-Alpha]

Good sound. Finally you've got yourself a set of mic!

[@svseaglobe]

Great to have you back! What Wireless mic set up do you use? It sounds great!

[@charbelrjeily4116]

love ur work! thank you for sharing

[@svseaglobe]

And the Video Camera is:? & do you shoot at 24p your videos are great and crisp...

[@robertkutz9540]

great job laney

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

I use a Canon Vixia Hr-20 im shooting in 1080p mode MXP High quality 24Mbps

[@Boomers_Bud]

Good job Laney. Derek

[@MRrwmac]

Hello..... Laney..... You out there somewhere? Still waiting for your next Project!

[@12Brian12]

Great video

[@razbarry42]

Just found your video as I am looking for tips as I start my first dart turning project. Any update from your friend on how he enjoyed or used his darts? Your video is very informative and I feel more confident to start. My fear though is that the lead wool will shift over time towards the front of the dart with use over time. My solution would be to add CA glue to prevent the lead wool from moving. I know weight will be an issue but it is kind of like finalizing the weight of a pinewood derby car.

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

This video was made many years ago, and I still use the darts made in the video. They for me are perfect flyers with just the right weight. I have changed flights many times over, but the darts still remain true.

[@razbarry42]

@@LaneyShaughnessy thank you very much for your reply. Very helpful.

[@DirtyMexican46]

Have you ever thought about finding a way to label the wood? Like someones name, or a business name. The only way I can think of would be to laser etch.... but maybe there is a simpler way that people like us can do?I think it would be a great way to personalize it even more!

[@matteedstrom]

great work dude, but if he is a competative dart player he probaly uses tungsten as a body, the weight ables them to be smaller and dont block eachother when aiming for tripple 20 ;)

[@charlesocchiuzzo9598]

Nice job

[@fishlovr1]

haven't seen any videos on the new band saw... How soon till you use it?

[@68jacen]

you need to make a special set, weights a little bit off, nose heavy, tail heavy, each one a little different, but weighs pretty close to each other.

[@danvalleskey]

With a carbide tool, do you worry about chewing up your bushings?

[@EitriBrokkr]

great project. what did you use to burn in the lines? they look awesome on that blond wood.

[@davidclauson6681]

Just saw this, not sure what kind of wire he used but I use gitaur strings. Secure it between 2 pieces of wood. Hope that helps you.

[@EitriBrokkr]

thanks, i wouldn't of thought of that

[@henrysscrollsawworks6917]

Where do you find lead steel wool and how many pieces do you get in a pack❓❓❓❓⁉️⁉️⁉️

[@Granite_Gunsmith]

How did you do the wire burning? Is it just steel wire?

[@ttoddh1]

Hi can you tell me the diameter of these? Great job!

[@marcelolujaniii9064]

Hey shaney. Just want to know were do you get you stuff to make pens

[@henrysscrollsawworks6917]

Could you make these with a Celtic knot

[@henrysscrollsawworks6917]

Great video I just wish I had the knowledge to play darts with all the rules😂😂😂an play properly is what I was trying to say

[@rickkert100]

you need to macher only the berrel wecht (20gr) thanks from rick from holland

[@thecrawford06]

How did you do the rope burning?

[@TheTalkingGrape]

3.6 and 3.6 WOW what luck is that!!!!! Also you said 20 ounce (14:51) but we know what you mean. :D

[@talrodriguez1206]

Where did you get the bushings for the dart set? Also, what size bit did you use for the barrel?

[@LaneyShaughnessy]

+Tal Rodriguez pennstateind.com you will find the bushing set and parts for darts...i used a 7mm barrel trimmer...on the dart kit it will tell you the size barrel bit to use

[@talrodriguez1206]

Thank you!

[@waitef4u]

Where do I get the kits from?

[@lorencarey7161]

link to Eureka Zone please?

[@dokbob5795]

Test your scale with a sheet of paper. 80gsm should give you 5 grammes for one sheet. Bob Ward U.K.

[@fishjula]

You resemble Kevin Costner...

[@thewoodshop69]

When you're not making dart you can sell weed lol

[@TheTechGuider]

your vids are too long
