Hi oneptbuk - on this pen, I used polyester resin, without pressure. After I poured into the mold, there were only a few bubbles that I was able to brush away with a pick. Ordinarily, I use about 60 PSI with a modified HB pressure pot. I don't always use it with PR, but its a must when I use Alumilite (otherwise, the bubbles will ruin the casting).
Hola nerumi - disculpa por la demora en responder. El torno lo consegui en un almacen que se llama Rockler. Lo demas lo consequi en Harbor Freight y Home Depot. Gracias por el comentario.
Bill - are you referring to the pen kit? If so, I buy my kits from the usual suspects (Rocker; Woodcraft; Penn State Industries; etc.). If you are referring to the watch parts, I purchase most of my parts from Ebay, or from a watch vendor at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. I use CA glue (Crazy Glue - check out Rocker's website).
Thank you all for the kind comments. Splinter: I used a Canon Vixia HF R400 HD and iMovie 11. Gabriel - you can email me at oswaldo.rossi@me.com if you're interested in a custom turned pen.

Hello Oswaldo. This pen is awesome! Quick question, what is the blue pain you put on the tube? Thanks!
Nice vid, cool pen, thanks for sharing. May I ask what you used to glue the parts onto the tube? Epoxy? Thick CA? Other? Thanks.
+ward459 Hi - generally, I use medium CA glue for the tubes. From time to time, I might use 2 part epoxy.
You are amazing! Where do I place my order?!

Any one know what the width of a face plate would be before its to big to wrap around the tubes??
I simply eyeball the watch face to determine whether it will fit. Haven't had many problems with that approach.
