  1. Cheap & Easy Pen Press

    If you're new to wood turning like me, by the time you've bought the lathe, chisels, and all the accessories, dropping another $50 on a pen press just seems ridiculous. Before you say "but you don't know", I do know; I used one extensively at a friend's shop and I don't really see the reasoning...

  2. My First Pens

    These are the first pens I've made. From top to bottom bottom the types of wood used are goncalo alves, Kentucky coffee tree, cocobolo, bocote, zebrawood, and purpleheart. (I think have those right, anyway.) It's not been all that long ago that I had never heard of any of these woods. I...

  3. Chrysalis of a Pen

    Boys and Girls, While there seems to be an upsurge on the presentation of individuals' pen creations here at LJ (well a couple in the last 3 months), I had to do a bit of searching for a how to blog/project.

    Boys and Girls, Contrary to what many think, there's more to my backward mentality than you may imagine… and it comes in the form of reverse engineering. I built this pen blank cutting jig a few years ago whose purpose was to accurately cut a pen blank for the appropriate brass tubing without...

  6. Grand daughter blanket chest

    I made this for my grand daughter. It was made using select yellow pine and techniques used were raised panels and dadoed corners to connect the sides together. This was all glued up, with no fasteners being used. The challenge for me was that I didn't have a table saw at the time and I had to...

  7. Goofing Around

    Goofing around out there today. The wood species are African Padauk, Maple Burl and Leopard wood. Sanded to a very high grit and then finished with Shellawax. I am making a mess of these to give away as small gifts for hospital visits, thank you's, and so on. It's a fun and easy way to use...

    I recently bought some 5/8×5/8 blanks for pens that are blood wood. While attempting to drill a 10mm hole through, the blank fell apart. I went in very slowly and blew away the chips about every 1/4". The blank was clamped in a drilling vice with v-blocks to hold it in place. What else can I do...

    My Pen Making Process I've had a couple of questions as to what I use for finish on my pens. So, I thought I'd post a small process flow.
