thanks, chad
I too would like to see more information on the engraver.
We're just getting started with lasering on pens as well so thanks for sharing!
What is all the equipment you use with the laser engraving. Can you make a more detailed video of just the laser process?
I'll do that soon
@@ChadSchimmel has that video been completed, I couldnt find it sorry?
Please tell more about the engraving machine you used.
I want that laser! 🤩 I use a toothpick and gently work the paint into the lines. It's a little less messy than the brush, not that it matters. The blanks look great!
Very cool like the added detail of the different color paint....👍
Great video Chad, I just started pen turning and the fever kicked in almost instantly. Most of what I've learned is thanks to you.
Thanks
Would like more info on the engraver and the rotary attachment. Thank you
Another great video chad!! But please, you need to share with us the laser set up, i.e., make, model, manufacturer, cost etc!! Thank you
I am especially interested in the mechanism that turn the blank as it engraves. and what size is the elk.
Cool Idea I'll try to make it as well👍
I am new subscriber and so happy to find your videos! I am totally new to wood turning. The one thing I have turned is pens and grew bored, because of less wood turning and more sanding, I would love to be able to do what I have learned while personalizing them with engraving. Can you steer me in the right direction for a laser engraver that can do this but also room to grow into as I gain experience for vases bowls and such. Yeah I am looking for the most bang for my buck. Thank you for your time.

I'll do a vid soon, thanks Jeff
Very nice work. Question: have tried painting on a finished acrylic blank. I’ve tried a number of things with not much success. Would you please do a video on that? Engraving personal names.
Good video Chad.
Chad; a Backer stick for the sand paper may help to remove the excess paint. As a final finish I do thin CA followed by 0000 steel wool. This combines the durability of CA and gives a nice wood sheen and feel to the pen.
Another cool way to do a fill is to turn the blank not quite to finished depth then deep laser a simple image then fill that image with tinted resin or 5 minute epoxy. Then remount and turn down to finished size which will take out the excess resin. I do Koa Wood pens with engraved turtles this way. They are very cool...
I like that i"m going to give that a try
thanks
Patrick I am curious to see that process, you should upload a video
I so wish I had a rotary for my K40!
That paint tray! Trying to create your own fordite?
Chad, if you mask your pen blank before you engrave it, it will make it much cleaner painting. After you are finished painting you just peel off the mask.
What device do you us to turn the pen as you lazer. And where did you get it
Why haven't you provided the name of the engraver to your viewers?? Just wondering that's all. I see it has been requested several times..
Good job. What model is the engraver and would you recommend it?
Great video. Did you use RDWorks? If so, would you do a video on just how you did it and got the rotary attachment set up?
Chad, interesting video's. I am trying to figure out a way to engrave pens, without having any satisfactory results. If you do not mind sharing, what are you using?
Chad, have you done a video on the engraving machine yet?
Hello, have you ever showed that little jig to engrave pens yet? How to make or what it is?
epic!
Have you ever engraved Alumilite blanks before? It seems super strong and I can't get the engraving to go any depth at all. Wood engraves fantastic, not so far for acrylics. Probably my settings or techniques as there are so many ideas out there.
Yes I have, just up your power and slow your speed and you should be good to go 😃
@@ChadSchimmel Thank you will keep trying!
I want to see how you built the jig with the pen mandrel for turn on the rotary. did you measure the circumference on the wooden pieces to set up the steps or the pen itself?
I measured the circumference on the jig. Hope that helps.
@@ChadSchimmel did you make the jig or buy it? I get how to use it, but I need to make or buy one :)
Hi mate. What are those rollers you have on which you place the pen and how do the roll the pen. Is that a special gadget. I'm from Australia and want to get into engraving my pens I make. I have nothing as yet and am starting my research. Thanks in advance.
What is the “roller” device you are using?
Just getting caught up on my RUclips watching this week and noticed your Video Chad. Nice work on the pens and the engraving. I really like the color fill work. Amazing how something so simple can look so good! I really need to get a rotary for my laser. With the one that you have are you cutting any of the inlay type wood pen blanks? I was planning on making some of these once I got a rotary but feel I might need the more expensive rotary that has a chuck and live center. Was just curious. Thanks.
Absolutely love your work. What laser printer do you recommend for that type of printing? Looking for one that can rotate pens automatically for me and avoid speeding or slowing the project and having an ugly product.
Check out Epilog Laser, though these are on the higher end. Cheap "china" laser might be okay if you don't mind fixing problems on the machine as they crop up over time. Just make sure whatever you get offers what is called a rotary attachment, that's the part that will spin the pen as it lasers. Then you just need some software (some come with their own, with Epilog the popular choice is Corel Draw).
when will the shop tour video be out?
Did you happen to find that elk online?
What type of laser are you using?
Always enjoy your videos. Would you mind sharing what grit sandpaper you use to clean the excess paint? Thank you.
Thanks Tanner, I used 800 grit,
@@ChadSchimmel Wow! I would think 2000 so that you have a smooth finish to apply the friction polish. Your results speak for themselves. Nicely done and finished! Thank you.
Does anybody know the brand and model of the engraver he is using?? Chad, if you have that info it would be awesome if you'd share it. Don't need a video, just the make and model.
Which engraving machine you used?
Carrie!..... lmao
Been enjoying your videos but this one could have REALLY used some closeups! :)
