Make A Pen Press

[@danam664]

That's fantastic. Nice job!

[@kenevans9965]

Hi, What a brilliant device, just made it out of scrap wood, works a treat, many thanks

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Nice pen press DIY! Looks like it works very well.

[@rolandkuhn9066]

I have been looking at a lot of pen press vids and yours is about the best I've seen. Well done!

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Roland Kuhn Wow! thanks for the great comment Roland

[@JimSollows]

This is awesome! So much nicer than the commercial pen presses! I am absolutely building this project!

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Jim Sollows Thanks man! Glad you like it

[@danielsmail8131]

First... great to see a new video! Second...love to see a great new homemade jig! Third... I love the custom handle, it makes such a difference when you see plain cheap stuff on tools and then you spend a few minutes and make it so much better, it's why I love Woodworking! I just got my lathe and plan on making all sorts of new handles! In fact I think I will head to my shop right now!!!!

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Daniel Smail Thanks Daniel, I agree. The handle really made a big difference. I'm glad I did it, now get out there and make something awesome!

[@lazaromarcel36]

GOOD AFTERNOON SR , THAT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEN PRESS HAVE EVER SEEN.

[@davecooper7048]

Very informative video. I purchased your plans and really enjoyed making the press. Works very well. Many thanks and keep up the good work. Cheers Dave.

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

That's great to hear Dave, Thank you very much for the support. I am glad you like it

[@JaimeDrewatWoodenU]

I was just thinking to myself that I needed to get a pen press if I was gonna make any more pens. This just got added to my project list. I really like the design thanks.

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Jaime Drew Thanks Jaime, I'm glad you like it.

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Farmercl's Woodshop thank you very much, I will

[@alcoutts]

Brilliant! simple home made jig that in my opinion is much better than the overpriced professional Pen Press! Great set of Plans, colour coded too ! Makes it very easy ! Many thanks

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

Thank you so much Al, I really appreciate the support.

[@grantliddiard7742]

Great press. I’ve been using a vice. I’m now in the process of making your design. Well done . Thank you.

[@jbb5470]

I must admit I am not very interested in making pens but am really glad I watched your video!. Very fine work making this press. As always your attention to detail and craftsmanship is enjoyable as always. Thanks again for your video!

[@jonathonappleby314]

Brilliant video just getting into turning and starting with pens!! This will save me a few ££’s thanks!!!

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

Really nice design. Enjoyed watching you make it!

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

Brilliant! Semper Fi

[@charruauno386]

Excellent work and idea, thank you for sharing, and have a good day

[@numberkruncherr]

I just thought I'd mention I bought the plans and made this press. Mine's not quite so pretty because it's made out of 18mm plywood, but it works great. I still need to turn a handle though, haven't done this yet and the little one on the clamp doesn't give enough leverage for fine control on tighter fits.

[@brucpt641]

Great job!

[@dkgrace6743]

Nice job. You have inspired me. I'm making one of these. Thank you.

[@opasworkshop8373]

that turned out to be a really nice looking press. Keep up the good work Moy!

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Opa's Workshop Thank you Opa

[@R86Quad]

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Spider F5 Thanks man! I appreciate it

[@totallynotabot151]

The design is a copy of the Milescraft press it looks like.

[@billhrn4271]

Nice job. I think i will build me one. I want to start turning pens.

[@tdkrei]

Great idea and engineering.

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

Awesome Moy!

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Spoony Creations thanks ashley

[@ifonlyful]

BRILLIANT

[@dondavis769]

What turning tool is that you began using right after you seated the ferrule down to shape the handle?? Very nice piece sir!!

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Don Davis thanks Don, that was a roughing gouge I used to shape the handle.

[@wandapiedra8973]

How much do you charge for the pen press!

[@mrpjh8899]

How do I get the plans

[@mmanut]

Very slick

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+mmanut Thanks for checking it out

[@eltee9547]

Sir, That's an impressive pen press. Have you considered the possibility of getting it patented? It looks and functions a lot better than the ones that are currently available commercially. Just one man's opinion.😉

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Eltee954 Thank you for the kind comment.

[@numberkruncherr]

This looks cool, especially as I am about to embark on pen turning, but unfortunately the link to your plans appears to have been hijacked by one of those fake "win an iphone" pages.

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

Thank you, I just checked the link and everything seems to be working fine.

[@numberkruncherr]

@@moyperezwoodshop1722 Not long after I posted that message I managed to get through by going to your home page, and then linking from there, and bought your plans (the clamp arrived today, thank you Amazon, just need to get the other materials together). The direct link from here works fine now too, but I was definitely getting redirected yesterday, guess I'd better run a malware checker!

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

@@numberkruncherr Yes sir definitely check for malware. Thank you very much for purchasing the plans, I really appreciate the support.

[@KSFWG]

Moy !! Thought you had given up making videos. I was thinking you'd gone MIA or something... lol

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+KSFWG ha ha no way, I'm giving up buddy. Life has kicked my butt the last few months. Making videos was place on the back burner but I'm coming around slowly

[@ronaldomazzini6188]

Hi, what's the name of the red cable? thank you

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Ronaldo Mazzini if you are referencing the clamp, it is called a horizontal push/pull clamp. there is a link in the description of the video

[@fiberinspector1304]

How did you connect the HDPE to the toggle clamp?

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+fiberinspector I heated the bolt and melted the HDPE. Once melted I folded the HDPE around the bolt. I have detailed video on how I did it, if interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIPahYd-i7KKfNk

[@fiberinspector1304]

thanks, I could not find any glue or epoxy that would work, I know there are some HDPE glues but not in my area.

[@lazaromarcel36]

HOW SIR HOW BIG DID YOU MAKE THE YOU PEN PRESS ,THANK YOU

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Lazaro Marcel thank you for the kind words lazaro. The base is 4 and 1/2 wide by 12 inches long. The spacers are 5/8 thick and there is 6 of them. I hope this helps..

[@lazaromarcel36]

Good Morning Sir , Thank You Very Much I was Just Wondering How Big It Was, Thank You

[@jtfleeman6105]

That is also me

[@alfredwilliam1184]

Just press them together in the lathe, far more accurate,

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

Having done it both ways, I humbly disagree but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

[@summerswoodworking]

Boy that is one sexy press!

[@moyperezwoodshop1722]

+Summers Woodworking Thanks brian!
