  1. I had some left over wood veneer from the desert bus clock, and realized I had enough to make a couple of pen blanks. Which is how I made this: so happy pride!

    (I made a trans flag blank as well, so watch for that) #woodworking #penturning

  2. I made another pen. It’s not my favourite because I think I need to refinish it. #penturning

  3. If you are going to turn pen this late in Oct, might as well make it halloweeny

  4. The difference between end of stages: -Sanded
    -Wet Sanded
    -Polished

    This is the Limited Purple Nebula, I only have about 5 left!

  5. My first time turning deer antler produced a nice looking Vesper click pen. The antler was incredibly hard and even sharp carbide cutters bogged down a bit. The biggest surprise was that it gave off a smell of over-crispy barbecue. Now I understand why people charge a lot for these - lots of work and now I need to air out the shop for a week!

  6. This dragon pen is in my Top-5 faves of all the pens I've made. The burnt bronze fittings and Poly-Ag stone barrel match so well. Plus, it's a hefty pen with good balance. Not for writing War and Peace longhand but great for signing the deed to your castle keep.

    The camera meter likes the presentation case a LOT better than the black velvet background. I may have to start shooting all of them in a case.

  7. That pool cue pen is devilishly hard to manage. At 8.5 inches, no pen box or display fits. Normal pen pots tend to tip over. Something had to be done so I figured why not manage it like any other pool cue and make a cue stand for it?

    Voila! #HotOffTheLathe today are the two cue sticks used as the uprights for the stand divider. The rack is 3D printed. The base is #shapermade and the divider is laser cut. Used all the toys on this one!

  8. #HotOffTheLathe tonight is a gold Vesper pen with black palm barrel. The wood is so dark I had to reduce the contrast drastically to show it against the gold.

    I love the Vesper pens for their weight, balance, and solid click mechanism.

  9. Had to call it a night to pack for travel tomorrow. But this was the final thing to come off the lathe tonight. Roller ball pen in satin chrome with royal purple dyed buckeye burl. I will have to take beauti shots to upload to shop after I am back

  10. Just one more left now... didn't take photos of every single one but I finished total of 8 today. Here is safety razor in black with African blackwood handle. And a fountain pen with Cocobolo body.

    #woodturning #penturning #safetyrazor

  11. 30cal set assembled and ready. Now on to rest. I got I get these done before I have to call it a night. I am traveling next week and won't get to them for another 10 days.

    That blue though....

  12. Next completed item from the #woodworking / #woodturning queue is a cue.

    Well, a pen made to look like a pool cue, anyway. Pen is 8.5 inches long with the cap on.

    Although challenging to make, the hardest part turned out to be finding a gift box for it. Ended up using a bracelet gift box.

  13. Working to build up some inventory for the shop. I have few fountain pens, roller balls and few Keychains i am completing. I need to see what I can do to improve dust collection as well..

    What is everyone hoping to achieve on the long weekend?

  15. #HotOffTheLathe today are a Longwood style pen in olivewood with gold trim and a Vesper style pen in canarywood with gunmetal gray trim. These are both commissions so I took extra care with the finishing and buffing and they turned out great. The Longwood kit shows off a exceptional blanks and this olivewood lives up to the promise. The Vesper is one of my favorites for balance and reliability.

  16. My wife chose the colors when I cast this blank and I promised it to her. I chose a Rockler Longwood component set because the extra-long 1-piece barrel lets the burl/resin blank shine.

    I admit to a hidden agenda here. A while back I caught her using a cheap plastic pen. I thought I'd made enough custom pens that she'd get rid of all the crap ones. Maybe now?

    Thought about doing a photo essay on this but pens are quite technical and it came out to 13 pix.

    #woodturning #penturning

  17. My first-ever fountain pen build came out pretty good. The MAS Pro Table Top Epoxy turned very well with either very sharp gouges or negative-rake carbide, which is good because there's a good bit left to make more blanks.

  20. Used some MAS Tabletop Epoxy on my wife's new desktop and made some hybrid burl pen blanks with the excess. Up to now I've used Alumilite and Total Boat for turning blanks and I have no idea whether the MAS epoxy will turn well.

    These are about 3/4 x 3/4 x 6 inches. Top is purple/black, then orange/green, yellow/blue, and the last one is the overpour from the first 3 blanks.

  26. My first peertube video is up. it's just a small one showing my 18" buffallo drill press in action. It has 3/4hp 3phase motor and runs on a VFD. just for size comparison, I am 5'8" and that drill press stands good solid 6" taller than me. the chuck is MT3 with 3/4" capacity and weighs in at ~2lbs or so. whole drill press is 325lbs and is 1950s vintage.

    Buffallo forge co. was headquartered in Buffalo, NY since 1878.
    vintagemachinery.org/photoinde <-- This is exact drill press I own. I bought it off the gent who restored it and moved it to canada with me from colorado.
