    Super cool pen idea - even 7 years later!
    The only suggestion i've got (i'm sure you figured it out by now) use a wing nut when you cinch down the laminated segments on the bolt. You could likely get the pressure needed with ease while not needing a wrench.

    Glad to have seen the process of setting the blank up. I have a large pizza box filled with veneer I got from Lee Valley. With the blizzard headed our way tonight and Tuesday I think I will give this a shot, as long as the power stays on lol
    Thanks for the inspiration Bob
    Cheers from Nova Scotia

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  10 лет назад

      Thank you Mark,
      One thing I learned and will mention in a follow up video is watch the placement of your pieces so you
      can control the pattern. My first couple were very random until I figured that out.
      Take care and be careful, are you guys going to get hit really hard up there?
      Regards,
      Bob

  • @chrisandersen9717
    @chrisandersen9717 9 лет назад +2

    Just did this. can't thank you enough! I neglected to cut the blank in half to insert the veneer so the end result was just rings without the perpendicular lines. with a blowout during the milling prices, credit goes to you again. because you show your successes AND mistakes, I attacked it with CA. Not a store-quality pen but someone would be hard-pressed to find the blemish. It's perfect for use by me.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  9 лет назад +1

      Thank you Chris,
      I'm glad you gave this a try. I am especially happy to hear you didn't let a little blow out stop you. It takes so long to make one of these blanks and I hate to lose one. I always try to repair and many times it adds character to the pen and they're the ones that go first.
      Congratulations on your first segmented pen, I'll bet it won't be your last.

    I am so so glad you did that wee close up of the blanks on the mandrel. I have just started turning and made pens last week but was not sure how close to the bushes to go with the gouge before starting to sand. You have just answered my question, thank you so much. I have a long way to go before I get to make pens as beautiful as those two. 😎

      RJBWoodTurner just one quick question please Rob. What diameter would you make a slimline pen? I. Made mine at 11mm but the pocket clip is very tight against the barrel. Would you go down to 10mm or below? I don't want to make a really skinny pen as I don't think they look 'home turned', I like a bit of shape to them.
      Thanks... Tom

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  7 лет назад +1

      +Tom Chapman Tom,
      When I want a more substantial pen, I make the bottom half fatter and thin the top half to accept the clip. I have also made pens and left the clip off for people with arthritis wanting a larger pen to hold onto. I
      Don't see many people carrying pens in their pockets anymore so I don't believe every pen needs a clip.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  10 лет назад

      Thank you John,
      The bolts work really well, you can crank them down and squeeze the glue out from between the segments making a super tight bond. I'm loving learning about segmenting, I have so many new ideas.

    @geraldlipchik8034 9 лет назад +1

    That is really a great idea for a pen and I want to make some. Only I shy away from the band saw. It gave me a chill to watch you push that blank into the band saw and cut it in half. I just got a bench top band saw and have to get used to it. I guess I could use my scroll saw because any irregularities will be trimmed off. You talked me into it Bob, I am going to try to make one.

    I've been wanting to turn a segmented pen but wasn't sure how to glue the layers for a good result. Thanks for the video, that pen turned out great! It looks like you went through the painstaking process of gluing a bunch of tiny bricks together.

    • @RJBWoodTurner

  • @TomGlander
    @TomGlander 9 лет назад +1

    Very nice. Make it look easy. Like the bolt clamp. Band sawn segments are obviously smooth enough before glue-up so as not to show a gap. Very nice. I may try this sometime.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  9 лет назад

      Thank you Tom,
      The band sawn segments are pretty smooth, maybe because there not real thick to start with and there's not much opportunity for the blade to move. I'm not real sure but they come out really nice. I like to use laminate between the segments because it will compress when I crank down on the bolt and if there is a tiny gap, it fills it.
      The real trick is laying out all the pieces so you get a nice pattern when you glue them up. The first couple I did didn't have much of a pattern. Now, I lay them out on the bench and can gat a nice stacked brick look.
      Regards,
      Bob

      @TomGlander 9 лет назад +1

      RJBWoodTurner For a final 7mm bore, you're using a 1/4 inch bolt (about 6 mm diameter) to clamp the segments. What are using to ream the finished product? A 7 mm drill bit twisted by hand? That's what I'd probably do. Thanks for letting me know.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  9 лет назад

      I use my 7mm bit, the same one I would use if I was making a slim line pen. It walks right through the blank with that nice pilot hole.

    Love it. I just made a similar jig for segmented pens based on yours. I used a test cut with the band saw to line up the block with a right angle to get flood true cuts. I put the segments directly onto pen tubes though using scrap ends before clamping and not the bolt. I've glued up and now waiting overnight for the glue to dry. Many thanks for the video.

      Please let me know how your blanks turn out. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them for you.

      Hi - see a link to see what I did with some photos. I used thin pieces of beech in place of veneer. I might try veneer soon though. www.icloud.com/keynote/AwBWCAESEGR9W7cJa-_CFEp7tUqHAq8aKr920vMch70taV8Cp4hvtY1XhZ0GD-JjBRoREVB0JivlLi4i9h8P_dz0NgMCUCAQEEIK0TDNFPEG3CiWuVGd9mPw3HDSXhETwqpHRC9zA4iOGz#Laburnum_and_beech._

      WOW David!
      The pen looks amazing. I love how segmented pens are so gnarly looking as blanks and then they turn into the most beautiful pens. I find myself stopping the lathe frequently just to see the progress. Thank you for sharing these photos with me, I love seeing what other turners are doing.
      I apologize for taking so long to get back to you but I had to wait until I got to a computer to open the link, my phone wouldn't open it.

      I was pleasantly surprised too. Truthfully I didn't know what to expect from the turned blank, I will be making many more of these segmented blanks and hope to improve on them and add more designs.

      If you liked that segmented pen, wait until you see the one i'm about to release. Segmenting on a drill press. I hope I do as well at explaining the steps for this one. It looks super complicated but is really easy to make.

    Love this look. Would like tto see a more redish colored wood. Something that looks similar to the standard red brick look. Would be a really popular pen amongst tthe masonry crowd. If you could simplify the method to batch them out, you could sell hundreds. Thanks for this awesome informative video.

      Assembly instructions,details like what size drill bit you used and the laminate processes what size bolt you used to assemble the works together, and what kind of glue you use to adhere the project together with. Thanks in advance. Wally

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  7 лет назад

      +Wallace Owen I used a 1/4" drill bit. The veneer was 1/64" and I glued it up with Titebond II. The bolt was 1/4" and I think 5" in length. I hope this helps.

    RJB - Just wanted to say, love your videos, keep up the good work. My wife and I are just getting into this addicting hobby and you've already gotten our minds racing!
    Wanted to throw out a very small suggestion. For making the holes in the laminate for the inserts, I went out and bought a good old fashioned hole punch from my local office supply store. Roughly $3 and no worry about tear out on the laminate and a perfect hole every time.

  • @alfredwilliam1184
    @alfredwilliam1184 8 лет назад +1

    Hi Bob, from here in the UK, you must stop using a floating vice, it spoils a good job, you must clamp the vice to the drill table, you see when you start drilling in the centre of the blank the vice is creeping so when you break through the hole is one sided, so many turners make this mistake, keep up the good work, just made this blank using brass aluminum and copper 5mm thick the results are amazing, I have been engineering for over 60 years so you learn many tricks of the trade. well done. ps, put a piece of leather around the blank much safer.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  8 лет назад

      I have also noticed that the vise flexes when I use it. It may be time to start drilling on the lathe.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  10 лет назад +1

      Thank you.
      It seems the more glue you can squeeze out of a joint the better the glue up. The bolts really let me crank it down tight. So far none of them have come apart and they turn easier than solid wood in my opinion. I hope you give this a try, it's a blast.

    Thank you, I love watching your videos. I am very new to turning of any kind and I love it. I noticed for a beginner that you don’t show the sanding and finishing part in some of your videos. I would love to see how you finish your ideas (sanding) and the products you may use in this part (triple EEE, CA, or friction lacquer, etc) of the process. As a beginner I find it interesting and most informative in the learning process because so many of the you turners use different products. Thank you again. Love the ideas you come up with. Happy turning!

      Is it the same for the resin and alumilite blanks.???

    It still goes by the original name even thought it's in Pennsylvania....also a good source of supplies, and let's not forget about Rockler.
