Bob sent me and I am sure glad he did! Now I subscribe to both of you and can learn from two excellent teachers! Thank you for sharing your wisdom, knowledge and techniques.
+Charles Noe welcome Charlie, thanks for watching, I'm glad you find the videos helpful.
They both look beautiful both yours and Bob's.
Thanks Gerald - I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
Regards - Lynn
Even with the washed out resin, still a very beautiful pen.
+Everette Burk Thanks Everette, I appreciate the support.
Love your pen!..Don't be so hard on yourself about it!..Keep up the good work..Greetings from the U.K.
+glass house Thanks I can be hard on myself, thanks for watching
Looks great, you and Bob both do great work, I have learned allot from each of you. Thanks
Thank you Tom, I'm glad you find what we do helpful and thanks for watching.
Cool pen Lynn. Watched Bob's video, his pen turned out really nice also.
Thanks Tarry, we had a good time with this project. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the show! Your pen turned out very nicely, but I will agree with you on the washed-out appearance of the resin. However, you have to learn somehow, right?! Thanks to you, I have a better understanding of how translucent resin looks with a white-painted tube. :) Great job and thanks for sharing!
+Janet Brien Hey there a Janet, thanks for watching and for your kind words.
Hi Bob sent me, very nice Pen
Thank you I appreciate you watching
Thanks Lynn, thats a lovely pen. Yep will check out Bobs channel. Take care, have a great weekend..
Thanks Val for watching and you have a good weekend.
Lynn Lacey thank you
Great looking pen Lynn, Bob did a great job also ...I think you are correct in that the paint should have been a darker colour. Still very beautiful! Well done .. be well
+Mick Motly Thanks Mick, and you have a good weekend.
Lynn Lacey you and yours also Lynn
Nice work cuz
Thanks Cuz - we had a good time.
Great looking pens I like the vertex a lot
Thanks for taking the time to comment. The vertex is a good kit. Regards.
Hi Lynn
i love your clip and i hope to get a start on some my self
+douglas cammock Thanks Douglas, send me a pic when you make ur first. Thanks for the comments
I can't decide which tube (painted vs un-painted) I like best... Both pens are beautiful.
Two great looking pens . You're probably right . A darker color on the tube might be better.
+Glen mckelvey I'm gonna havre to cast another with the same pigment and paint those tubes brown and see if it looks better.
Two look pen. Not sure witch is better you or Bob's. Good job Thanks
+Charles Reicks Thanks Charles it was fun.
Awesome pen Lynn. I am a fan of the Vertex as well. I like the small tool you used to get the center of the blanks for drilling. I'll have to keep my eye out for one. Hope you all are safe and out of harms way.
~Scott
Thanks Scott - We are fine - I got that center finder at Woodcraft. Thanks for your support.
I, too, love the magnetic Vertex pen. One caution. The spring is not captured in the cap ( I don't know why they didn't make one end larger). One of my customers lost her spring and I had to cannibalize another kit to replace it. I now put a drop of medium CA in the cap and drop the spring in and let it dry. No more lost spring. I also saw Bob's presentation. Both of you do an outstanding job.
Thanks Steve. Good idea
Both pens came out beautiful! I like either unpainted or painted tubes. It depends really. They both have their charms. :) I am trying to watch as many videos as I can because in less than 24 hours Hurricane Harvey will make landfall. Being far inland I won't be as affected as most but I might lose power. :P I have everything hooked up to the chargers at the moment - laptop, tablet, cell phone... I won't have internet but I will have some games. :) - Heidi
Hello Heidi - Good to hear from you! Am I to assume you are in Texas? I'm in north Texas and we expect rain. tomorrow. Stay safe and I hope you aren't badly affected. FYI I'll be in a craft show the middle of September in the Willis, Texas area. Thanks for watching and best of luck.
Yes I am in Texas. Sort of between San Antonio and Austin. :P I keep getting varying reports - some say it won't reach here and others say it will (as a tropical storm or cat1) so I don't know what to expect. Just hope it isn't too bad for anyone in the path...
Good Luck!
Lynn. Also just watched Bob and both are interesting in how different turners see blanks. All the pens are beautiful. ron
Thanks Ron I appreciate you watching.
Hi Lynn,
I came over from RJB's channel. Subbed!
+Jim Kodysz Hello Jim, thanks for the support.
Hey Lynn. I just finished watching Bob blanks as well. Nice 👍 work to both of you.
Thanks Mark - I appreciate you watching and the kind words. Regards
Amazing blank and pen, thumbs up Lynn.
+OG Timbercraft Thank you sir
Nicely done, Lynn! You and Bob took different approaches, but you both ended up with stunning pens.
Hello Dwight - Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate the support.
Well done Lynn, very nice pen.watched Bob's pen making ,equally as good .keep up the good work. Best regards .
Where did you get conversion chart for drill bits? Great looking pens
Looks great Lynn. Both of you guys did make some great pens, glad i do not have to choose between you too.....lol...one question did you polish it with M/M only or a buffing wheel too...have a great weekend ...
+Robert Evans Hey Robert good to hear from you. Only MM I don't have a polishing wheel, don't see the big difference for the expense and extra steps. Thanks for your support.
Maby you sould not have paint it at all, but the pen is beautiful. Júlíus
Thank Julius - Possibly so - but I really dis like seeing the brass tube thru the blank. Thanks for watching.
Bob get's a 9.5. Unfortunately, Lynn get's an 11. ... Cheers from Downunder.!!
Cheers Geoff your are to kind! and thanks for watching.
Nice job, new subscriber. Where did you get your center finder?
Beautiful pen! I watched Bob's video on his pen, and he sent me here. Subscribed to both your channels now. You both do excellent work!
Thank you Sue, I'm glad your tuned in. Thanks Much
For "worthless" wood, that looks amazing! :~) Interesting about the paint color, thank you for sharing!
Thanks Bill - I think Brown would have been better. I don't like seeing brass tube thru the blank, but also don't care for the "washed out" look either. Thanks for the comment.
i guess I am kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?
@Seth Royal Meh try flixportal. Just search on google after it:D -emilio
@Emilio Zahir Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !!
@Seth Royal glad I could help :D
I just finished watching your video Lynn, great job!!! And, I picked up a good tip about using C/A inside of hybrid blanks, I'm stealing that one. :^)Regards,Bob
Thanks Bob - Overall I think it was a good colab. Thanks for the help[.
Lynn Lacey I agree, it was fun and educational for me. I hope to get back down to Texas and hang out again.
Lynn what does the magnetic do I have never used that kit. I use the Vertex kit alot. Gun Metal is my favorite
+Dave White Hey Dave, it is just a magnetic cap instead of threads. It sticks to the nib end for storage and the cap end while writing. You should give be a try.
The pen is neither a click or twist pen. The cap is held on via the magnet.
Where did you get that handy little center Finder?
+Louis Currier Louis I got that at Woodcraft. Thanks for watching
Lynn, beautiful pen I think Bob's was beautiful too. I'd probably not paint the tube as either way they looked super. Thanks for sharing. I did give a thumb up and subscribe. Now I got to get some of that Liquid Diamond resin. I understand you don't need a pressure pot and I don't have one. Thanks again.
+Ralph Ross Hey Ralph, thanks for the support. Yea one of the positives of the LD is it is suppose to be bubble free. Thanks again.
Hi Lynn,I am new to the world of pen making, my question for you is, where can I buy one of the centre marking templates you use in the start of the video.....Thank you,,, so much info in such a short timeCheers Ray
Hey Ray thanks for watching - I got that handy little center finder at Woodcraft. Thanks again for watching.
Great pen, where did you get the drill bit chart that you used?
Thanks Philip - here is a link to that drill bit chart. It resides in my Drop Box shared folder. db.tt/VJTaI7SCW0db.tt/VJTaI7SCW0 Thanks for watching
Thanks Philip - here is a link to that drill bit chart. It resides in my Drop Box shared folder. db.tt/VJTaI7SCW0db.tt/VJTaI7SCW0 Thanks for watching

Great video! Where did you get that print of sizes at the beginning of video?
Thanks Steve; Send me an email and I'll send you the pdf file for that drill bit chart - it is very handy. Thanks for watching.

Where did you get that really nice small center finder tool? I would like to get one.
+Mike Kline Hello Mike, I got that at Woodcraft. Thanks for watching.
Hi Lynn, You and Bob did a great job, one question, was the wood stabilised before you cast it? Thanks Roger
