    Made so many of these years ago. This was a fun thing to let young kids do, they felt so happy that they created something. At that time corian was commonplace and it made beautiful pens.

    Every woodturner should turn a pen. It's instant gratification that lasts. Plus, you get to use up all the "scrap" pieces of wood around the shop.

    Nice job Tim. Have a look at investing in a Mandrel Saver that goes in your tailstock, then you don't need the brass nut, and you can control the pressure on the blanks when turning. I've also moved away from using CA/Super Glue completely. I use Epoxy Glue for the brass inserts, and spray in lacquer for the finish, even if I use Shellac to help the grain pop. I've had customers bring pens back, where the CA turned their hands black, due to the acid in their skin. It also takes the finish off. Lacquer, so far hasn't been an issue.

    I picked up something useful from this video, the way you use the tool and push it straight in for the initial rounding…. I have been sweeping the tool along the whole blank and taking a bit off each pass. Your way seems a lot quicker and less potential for catches.
    Beautiful results, by the way!

    Tim, You forgot one safety item. A phone located within elbow reach of the lathe when using CA glue (for calling the spouse) !!
    Don't ask!! 5 minutes is a long time!

    Very nice video wondering if you use a brad drill bit when drilling the wood blank. Your videos are all very informational thanks again for your time

    Heads up! Vendors borrow themes but vary the components. Kits from vendor A might not interchange with Vendor B. I’ve got a scrap can of orphaned parts.

    Tim, great video and one of my first turning projects were pens. Family loved them! One question though. Do you use stabilized wood blanks or is the CA good enough on its own?

    I use a Zebra Z grip click pen parts as my pen kit to make turned pens. Total cost to make a turned pen is less than $3. Have you tried this method as no inner sleeves are needed?

    Just out of curiosity, why not drill the blank before cutting it?

    • @woodturningwithtimyoder
      @woodturningwithtimyoder  8 месяцев назад +1

      There are two reasons I don't do it. One, more heat builds up because of the longer drill time and the blank might crack. Also over a longer distance a drill bit tends to have a tendency to wander or drill off center.

    I really enjoy watching your videos but, pet peeve of mine, CA glue doesn't dry, it cures.
