[@1m6_]

Serious skill and talent. Beautiful pens.

[@scoobydoo9088]

The pens turned out Awesome, great job thank you for sharing your wood working project.

[@MemelordSupreme]

I was working on a video using popsicle sticks for pen blanks too! I hadn't seen any done yet. You beat me to it!

[@SpecificLove7]

Great minds think alike

[@robertcasto9806]

Just went to my first class on turning pens and bottle stoppers. Now I’m hooked and this is a nice and cheap idea for making pens.

[@lisaalbrecht7900]

How creative!! They turned out great! I will add this to my list of things to try sometime. Thanks for sharing!

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you very much. It was definitely a surprised how well they turned out. And there are so many versions that can be incorporated into more pens, the variety is almost endless.

[@brucemcconnell1467]

Beautiful pens! That's thinking outside the box. Well done sir.

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you very much.

[@jameshelmke5372]

Tried red and blue stain and they turned out great. A coworker seen it and ask me to make a few for the Veterans at work. Thanks for the idea.

[@fruitfullspirit]

Absolutely eyecatching. I would never have used craft sticks. Excellent creativity.

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you, it was a big surprise to me at how well they worked too.

[@nobull-dozer3356]

Awesome job thank you very much for sharing beautiful pens 🖊.

[@nicracine]

I LOVE that idea. Just wonderful!

[@AquillWise]

Thanks, all I needed to do was to research on how to make wooden pens, because we are supposed to design a product, mine was pens. Then I watched this, I want to create stuff like this!

[@TheLightHouseLady]

You have a great Channel! Enjoy all the great information you share with us. Keep the videos coming. *******

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you very much

[@pencraftsmanship]

Awesome I've thought about trying this but couldn't find a good way to make it better to turn. Thank you

[@EduardoTorresDeMadera]

Very nice idea. And the end, everything turned great. Thanks for the tips.

[@mswillinvest1]

Wow, you are Amazing! Those pens were beautiful!

[@JG24AJ]

AMAZING! Love them all, especially the twisted look, pretty cool!

Thanks, that is my wife's favorite too.

[@jjo5375]

Fantastic results! Very cool! : )

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you

[@donaldosborn7772]

Awesome

[@coopersshop7635]

They look great💯

[@telwood15]

Very original

[@SeansWoodBarn]

I love it man!

[@trevorminton6084]

Id love to see this done with actual popsicle sticks from one of those cheap big bags with a bunch of assorted colors. I bet all those colors would look pretty neat once they're cut and stacked together. You night even be able to smell some of the flavors while you turn it on the lathe.

[@darko6697]

nice job buddy turning pens is cool have you tried high vis vest I made 1 with an orange vest and a sheet of paper it looked awesome

[@함께하는나무]

좋은 아이디어 얻어갑니다. ^^

[@virajbhoite7826]

Fantastic craftsmanship. Do you make fountain pen

[@SpecificLove7]

Not yet, but I will

[@knoptop]

Cool stuff! I really like that end grain design! I want a lathe now!!

[@SpecificLove7]

They are a lot of fun to play with, but depending on what you buy, they can get expensive.

[@jeremyharris5708]

Nice

[@jaySean0000]

What if you soaked the sticks first then twisted them and leaving them in tjr clamp until they dried? Maybe better luck with the twist look?

[@dapoet200]

I really liked your video. They turned out amazing. What was the housing called you used inside the wood to put the pen ink inside? Thanks so much for sharing.. new subscriber today. Happy New Year🥳

[@SpecificLove7]

It was part of a pen making kit.

[@RJBWoodTurner]

Very nice video, I liked how you tried eight or ten different ways of staining, gluing up, or cutting the sticks for effect. You have some unique and beautiful pens. Regards, Bob

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you very much Bob

[@arthurdeleniq]

Dude this was actualy a pen making video that actualy tell something useful and not repetitive !

[@RealMikethedealer]

Thank you, where do I get the ink and other parts of the pen?

[@Adam_Strachan]

Bought a bunch of blanks now I need the guts where can I buy the guys and mechanical stuff at I’m having a hell of a time trying to find them with out the blocks can you help me out in we’re to find them please

[@SpecificLove7]

I can usually find them at the local Woodcraft store or Rockler store.

[@NinjaNige]

Nice Work Thanks ... I Have Always Found When Doing A Wood Twist.... Soak It In Water First Then Twist And Clamp ...When It Drys It Keeps It Shape ... Just Saying ...

[@SpecificLove7]

Great info, thanks. Have you ever tried gluing them together after twisting?

[@NinjaNige]

@@SpecificLove7 Yes When Completely Dry Yes No Problems ... Also Twisting Them Wet Means That They Twist More And Don't Split..

[@SpecificLove7]

I will have to give it a try, thanks

[@parasbansal3772]

The process in the video seemed strangely therapeutic to watch, but I understand how much work and hours you would have spent to complete these pens

[@aprildegele1510]

Awesome idea! However, you know you can get colored sticks, right? Will save you some time.

[@saggueducation6291]

How can i buy

[@latonyalee7821]

One word AWESOME! okay another word AMAZING!

[@SpecificLove7]

Thanks 😁

[@emran9233]

How we find all pen Matel parts

[@charruauno386]

Thank you sharing, good video, idea and work. Now when go to my doctor I will ask her for some tongue sopresores :):):)

[@leilaniwood1121]

Second 😁

[@TheJroddude]

Can I buy them?

[@jccooluser]

I bet soaking the wood in boiling hot water would make it rubber like for even twistier designs

[@SpecificLove7]

It should, but I was not sure I would be able to get them all the same shape and and glued up.

[@jccooluser]

@@SpecificLove7 there's steam bending. My mind jumped to using just wood to using wood and glow in the dark epoxy as its glow pigment mixed with epoxy

[@SpecificLove7]

That's a great idea.

[@jccooluser]

[@tayyabchau786]

First!

[@sharanskumar5713]

If you have many ice cream sticks then what about us

[@TheRobinRedbreast]

You should sell the pens. You need an online store. Let me know if you want me to set one up for you.

[@sniderswoodworking]

haha. "add weight" cue miter saw.
