[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Huw... firstly.. many congratulations on reaching the magical 1 thousand subscriptions... it's long overdue and much deserved... great instructions on how to do segmented pens... looking forward to part 2 ... only one suggestion... the out takes of you forgetting what on earth you were doing should be at the end... Haha... sorry... take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Andy, Thank you so much you were joint first subscribers with Gary, as I can remember having none and then 2 at the same time. I wish I had thought of doing out takes when editing but my brain was a bit frazzled by that time because I just couldn't think of what I should be doing, even though I have made loads of these. Once again Andy a HUGE thank you as if it wasn't for your time and patience helping me put a video together I wouldn't be at this stage now. Take care my great friend. Cheers, Huw

[@hbwoodturning17]

Thank you so much Randy. I slipped back to 997 yesterday but back there again. Take care my friend. Cheers Huw

[@IanMacWoodturning]

Never really ventured into the pen making business Huw but you made it look simple enough with your skill!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Ian, Thank you so much for the compliment. You should give it a go and if I can help in any way please let me know. I have dozens of Slim Li e kits I really don't use so if you want a few to have a go I'll gladly send you some along with a set of bushings. Let me know. Take care Ian. Cheers, Huw

[@IanMacWoodturning]

@@WoodenItBeNice Cheers Huw! Might take you up on that at some point! Congrats on 1k subs by the way!!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@IanMacWoodturning Hi Ian, Thanks on the congratulations. As for the kits when your ready send me an email or PM on FB with your address (both are in the about section on YT) and I'll post you 6 or so. I literally have dozens which I don't use and are just sitting dust in a box. Cheers, Huw

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

very cool Huw! I look forward to the conclusion!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Thanks Chris, Probably be next week as my back has taken a step back over the last couple of days, hopefully only a short term set back. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

We all have "those days"! Congrats on the milestone!

Hi Dave, Yes we do aren't they great. LOL. So pleased with the sub count I must admit. Take care Dave. Cheers, Huw

[@ThePapa1947]

Very interesting glue up Huw! For sure it can be fun trying to keep all those flips and flops in order but you got it and they are going to be very cool! Looking forward to seeing the end result as I know it will be very interesting. Sure looks great seeing the 1K up there...congrats you have earned it. Take care my friend, Gary

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Thank you Gary, I confused my self on this one. It really is a simple process. Back down to 999 now. LOL. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

I'm liking what your doing Huw, I never even thought of doing wiggly cuts, all the best.👍

Merhaba Huw, 1000 abonelik için kutlarım. Bu güzel bir haber. Sırada 10 binlik abonelik görmek istiyorum. I am sure that I will see a nice pen in the final. nice design. I'm looking forward to the finale. A work full of pleasure and experience. See you. Big greetings. Yours sincerely, Mehmet.

Thanks for the demonstration Huw. Will look out for 2nd video. Will have to try some segmented work again somepoint. Hope to see you over 1000 subs soon.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi John, Thank you very much. Please do try some segmenting again and show us please. Thanks again John. Cheers, Huw

[@JiggsysShed]

@@WoodenItBeNice will definitely film it the next time I do something segmented. My first one was before I created my channel back in Oct 19. It was a wedding present for my sister. I only have photos which are up on my Instagram page.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@JiggsysShed Great news mate. I'll have a look at your IG page to see the pen. Huw

[@JiggsysShed]

@@WoodenItBeNicethe segmented work I did wasn't a pen as have not done any pen turning yet. It was a snack board with little bowls. So it was not as delicate as your work.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@JiggsysShed I'll check it out. 👍. Huw

[@TheTinyWorkshop]

Congratulations Huw with the 1k subscribers. Well done. What a fun way to make segment pens. I also like to make pens from scraps of wood, but never thought of making segments. I'm looking forward to part 2. 👍Frank.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Frank, Thank you so much. This is how I started segmenting pens. Hopefully Part 2 will be as enjoyable. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

[@JordanWoodwerx]

Hi Huw Congratulations on the 1k brother!! Looking forward to seeing the completed pen. You’ve reached a nice milestone, well deserved!!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Bruce, I'm looking forward to finishing the pen as well. You are part of a small group that commented on my first video and are still with me on reaching 1000 subs. I truly appreciate that. Take care brother. Cheers, Huw

[@BrailsfordWoodworks]

I LIke it!!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Thanks Mike. Part 2 out later. Cheers, Huw

[@movingchips]

Can't wait to see the final process. I turned a pen recently and forgot how much time it takes for each piece and part... doesn't speed up time having to move a camera around either! Looking forward to Part 2

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Jay, Thanks very much. I could probably make one of these in an hour or so without videoing it. You are right when you introduce a camera the timescales go out the window. Take care Jay. Cheers, Huw

[@oldmanwoodcraft]

Firstly congrats on your 1K well done Huw . OK you got me interested and curious . looking for part 2 . the blank looks Unique .

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Thank you Ahron, That means a lot. Hopefully Part 2 won't disappoint. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

[@tedspens]

I would use medium for gluing, given the choice. I've been wanting to try these cross, curvy segments... if I ever get back to the shop. The blanks look great. Nice choice of woods. Okay, gonna check out the next video. See ya there!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Ted, Thanks very much. I have never tried Medium so should give that a go really. Thanks for the tip. Take care Ted. Cheers, Huw PS Give them a go they are fun and you can get some really interesting pens from this process.

[@SiamWoodShop]

Good job Huw, almost the big 1000 subs, cheers mate

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Thanks John, Yes really close now but still losing subs nearly every day for some reason. Take care Mate. Cheers, Huw

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Looking good! Congratulations on the 1k👍😎

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Thank you so much my friend. Finally got there but will no doubt dip below again as I keep losing subs. Take care Luie. Cheers, Huw

Thanks so much Ollie, I really appreciate it. I need to catch up on your videos. How is the new workshop? Do you have power now? Take care Ollie. Cheers, Huw

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

Clever was to cut and glue up the blanks. I assume bandsaw cuts don't produce noticeable gaps ? Can't wait for the final installment. Keep them coming Huw ! Stay safe. -Mike😷💉 p.s. appreciate you showing us even experts make mistakes. LOL

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Mike, Thank you very much. I used a 24 TPI blade on the bandsaw, for this type of work, so there weren't many cut lines, or gaps, on the pieces. I also use the veneer to cushion the joint as well. I'm not sure I'm an expert but if something goes wrong I show it and then the fix if I can fix it. Thanks again my friend. Take care. Cheers, Huw

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

@@WoodenItBeNice Oh yeah, 24 TPI show do the trick just fine. I use 3 or 4 TPI on mine - for cutting log 'n stuff, so is very different. On the other hand my nice finishing hand saw blades have about 10-14 TPI and they're really good cuts - 24 is for metal cutting. Thanks for clueing me in 👍

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@mpart_woodlathe-stuff I know 24 TPI seems a lot but for some of the segmented pens I make it is ideal. That reminds me I need to buy a couple more. Huw

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

@@WoodenItBeNice Oh no, I was not saying 24 is too many. Not at all. I wasn't even aware they were available that were for wood and not metal. Especially if they serve you well !

[@WoodenItBeNice]

@@mpart_woodlathe-stuff Thanks Mike. Hope you enjoy Part 2

[@Phenrica]

Congratulations Huw on the 1k subs 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, nice recovery on the blanks 👍🏻 I use those little squeeze clamps as they are handy but not good for applying lots of pressure, I tend to go back to the trusted cast G clamps. You should try 6 part series vids 😂. Cheers Steve

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Thank you Steve so much. You've been subbed to my channel for a long time for which I am extremely thankful. I think I need to buy some medium sized version that will give a better clamping pressure. Might well go for G Clamps. 6 parts, no thank you. LOL.😂😂

Hey Huw...I think keeping the pieces in the right order would give me a serious brain fart🤪 looking forward to the finished product... stay safe buddy...press on 😎 Joe

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Joe, They did give me a brain fart. LOL. I just had a total brain melt for a few minutes. I have made loads of these but I just couldn't think what I needed to do. Comes with age I suppose. Take care Joe. Cheers, Huw

[@MarkMcCluney]

I hope you won't be angry but I started to giggle as it got more and more obvious that you were getting a bit lost! Sorry! But you really won me back with your remark about Battenburg cake - I completely understood what you were getting at with that remark. The only trouble is that now I really want some Battenburg... Incidentally, I think this is much better done in two vids - there's quite a lot to take in with this method so it's better to spread it out. Good job mate and I'm looking forward to the excitement conclusion.

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Mark, I will never be angry with you Mark as you tell it as it is. I was totally lost at one point. I was sat there thinking what am I supposed to do now??? It comes to someone my age mate. LOL. It's called a senior moment. I have made loads of these as they sell really well but I just lost it for a while. Enjoy the Battenberg Cake. You are right 2 is better than one. I don't know what I was thinking about that I could do it all in one vid without that vid being sooooo long. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

[@OurFrenchHouseRenovation]

sometimes you have to stretch it out Huw, almost at 1000 subs... thanks for sharing, always take care

[@WoodenItBeNice]

Hi Grahame, Thanks very much. Had to be in 2 parts I agree. 3 more to go at the moment, but no doubt that will change as still losing subs. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw PS Make that 4 just lost another one. LOL

@@WoodenItBeNice its very strange, I've been to 715 subs and back down to 712 about 6 times.... seems odd to me.
