Ed shows a new approach to turning hand-made blanks. Eliminate the pen mill and minimize the chances of separation of the resin from the brass tube. Also minimize the chance of "chipping out" the resin, by using the "turn between centers" technique. Demonstrated using new "opal" blanks from JackieU!!

    Hello, I am new to your website and I am so glad I found your company! I have also tried the gluboost on a wooden pen I turned and it is the best thing for a shine. Your video is awesome and it was the same I seen somewhere else. I'm so glad gluboost got on board for all the woodturners out there, trying to get the glass shine for wooden pens. Thank you so much for your videos and helping us who really don't have a mentor.

    That's why I hate Berea - the most work goes into assembling parts that can be assembled at factory! Why PSI can make pen kits that are preassembled, and Berea couldn't (for the sameish price)? It's especially painful when doing production run of few dozen pens:(((

    I have a slimline 7mm PSI twist pen that a customer returned to me in hopes that I can fix it. His complaint is that it will "twist" into the open position while in his shirt pocket. He repeatedly will twist it closed, however it will twist back open. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this? Thanking you in advance...Jaimee

      @edfromexoticblanks5639 5 років тому

      There are dozens of click mechanisms. If you are mechanically inclined, you can try to unscrew the clicker and see what's inside.' Before disassembling, try the refill clog as below. First take out the refill and make sure it will travel through the "nib" (front hole of the pen) by hand--could have junk in the hole (easy fix, hope for this!!)

  • @garrettswoodworx1873
    @garrettswoodworx1873 5 років тому

    I know it has been 4 years but if you put the small end of the spring on the refill and give it a twist clockwise it will expand and slide up on the refill. It was actually designed this way to keep the spring in place during assembly/disassembly so you don't lose it in the carpet. :)
