This guy could be me, absent the English accent. And I thought I had the smallest free-standing shop on UA-cam... I loved this video. Substitute coffee for the tea, and this is exactly where I am in my pen-making endeavor. Reassuring to know that I'm not the complete idiot that I thought I was.
Hi Marc, I’m glad you enjoyed this video. I’ve only been turning since the beginning of the year so I have a lot to learn. Tea is far more superior to coffee 😁 Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it.
A very genuine honest video. I do grasp that vices are a bit rough & ready & with a lot of power very quickly. To be honest I just use my lathe as a press. Headstock, tailstock, turn yourself a couple of wooden arbours & you will have a fine a press as can be found. Its the free option because you make your two ends of scrap. The item you discuss is a top end price. When it comes to disassembly ...... just never screw up. Hope you keep going forward healthwise.
Thank you for your kind comment, I really appreciate it. I tried using my lathe as a press, it wasn’t working for me and I always make mistakes from time to time. Health wise I’m doing very well thank you.
That is a nice tidy shop you have. In my opinion lathe work is place that you have good control of procedures without having to move about a great deal. Enjoy yourself. A fellow human being from Wisconsin.
Thank you so mutch for this video Sir. I picked up my Axminster Deluxe Pen PRess from the postoffice today si i am happy i find your video about it here. :) I have a bunch of pens that i put together just like you have done i guess, wrong things in wrond end of the tubes. Hopefully i can recover all those wrong made pens i got here. Greetings from Norway to you.
Hi Hans, thank you so much for your kind comment. The Axminster pen press is fantastic and yes I too have recovered my pen mistakes. I’m glad you like the video. Happy turning my friend.
Morning, I got my pen press over a year ago in the uk for around £80. Prices have increased so much in that time. It depends on how much you use it. I make pens and light pull’s all the time, so a good investment for me. Thank you for your comment. There are cheaper alternatives on the market but not with the same build quality.

Thank you, Mike for your comment. My shed is 8’x10’ and it’s a little bit small for what I do in it, but it’s my space and I love it.
A very good video, thanks
