Wow I can't believe that someone else is using a negative rake Carbide tool thank you for tell others about this tool. I was almost think about about selling my lathe and tools and when discovered the negative Rake tools all my problems went away.

Great 5! My favorite thing for pen turning is CA glue, it always gets me out of sticky situations 😬

[@mvecellio1]

Have you tried Gluboost. It is a CA game changer.

[@ChadSchimmel]

No I haven't, how does it work? I use accelerator regularly

[@mvecellio1]

@@ChadSchimmel Gluboost is great. Takes 2 coats of thick and 4 of thin with a shot of accelerator between each coat. No white dots.

[@ChadSchimmel]

That sanding jig that you talk about at the end of the video. Is that something you made or is that something you can buy somewhere?
