    A little late, but just wanted to say how much I appreciate your recognition of our veterans. What a great idea to make a special pen and pass on to a veteran. I am just getting started in pen turning, but will make it a point to make a pen just to give to a vet. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I realize that this is an older video but your idea of giving to the vets is a great one. I didn’t serve but my father in law and both of my boys have. I appreciate the freedoms that their sacrifice affords me. Well done Bob.

    I know its an old video, but I've just seen it. I absolutely love the "give away to a vet" plug. I am a 20yr Navy vet and things like this mean the world to me. Thanks again!

    Great pen from Honor Flight cutoffs and a beautiful finish. As a 29 year vet, I want to thank you for doing that. My daughter who does all my shopping these days said she saw you at the Garland Rockler store yesterday but you were teaching a class and she didn't want to bother you.

    I to make pens. Have been for over 25 years. I finally glued my thumb to a blank. CA glue dribbled down onto it and I did not notice. Note to self: keep plenty on the Uncure fluid around and it is great to have the wife help un-stick the blank...after she stops laughing.

    I know this video is old. At this point it appears to be five years old. Just like most Americans, I know that veterans have given a lot, have sacrificed a lot, and basically when someone signs up for the military, they have increased their odds of dying at an earlier age than they would have otherwise. My main point is that I want to thank you for reminding me what a huge sacrifice both veterans and their families make and have made to protect all of us. I also think it’s awesome that you were doing something concrete to show your thanks, and multiplying that gift of thanks in such a creative manner.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  Рік тому

  • @woodfreak814
    @woodfreak814 Рік тому +1

    Just a few questions. Sanding with the metal bushes on, usually, in my experience, ends up with the metal from the bushings bleeding into the grain of the wood. Therefore leaving a darker grey circle at the ends. Applying CA to the blanks with the metal bushings still on would leave it stuck firmly to the bushings.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  Рік тому

      Just place if a thin coat of C/A as a sanding sealer won’t usually glue the bushings to the lathe. If it does, tap the bushing on the lather bed and it will come lose.

      Hello Tom,
      I pull the blank to the end of the mandrel and allow the bushing to hang over. A little downward pressure and the bushing will release.
      There will be a rough edge on the blank so I go back to the belt sander and use my sanding jig to remove it.
      Occasionally I put the bushings on the mandrel and use a skew to clean them off.
      Regards,
      Bob

      @RJBWoodTurner  6 років тому +1

      Thank you Howard,
      I’ve already given them away. You can still turn one on your and pass it along to a veteran. I’m challenging everyone to do that.

  • @w6dfmp242
    @w6dfmp242 6 років тому +1

    Do you use just one grit of micro mesh to finish your finish? If so which grit is that?

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  6 років тому

      I use all the grits. If I’m MMing C/A then I just lightly use the pads. Do not use much pressure or use the pads for very long. Also, please wipe the blank between each grit.
      Regards,
      Bob

      I don’t see why not, I would use epoxy to ensure a good bond.

    How did you keep sawdust from one segment contaminating the other segments? Was this when you wiped the raw blank?

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  2 роки тому

      After I clean the raw blanks with Denatured Alcohol, I put one coat of thin C/A on them to reduce the cross contamination from the sawdust.

    Love making pens like this. I also use my Slimline pen kits that have left over pieces. Gold nib, copper collar, chrome clip, etc. My wife calls them Leftovers. lol Really good for when you want to turn for fun/practice and don't have any full blanks.

    • @RJBWoodTurner

      I agree, cobbling something together from parts and pieces it a blast.

    Hey Bob,
    Shoot man, I missed the give away by a million hour jaja. I've been carving wood signs for two years now and got interested in pen turning to the point that in less than 24 hours of planning, I bought everything I needed to start turning. It's been a week since I started turning pens and I'm getting the hang of it.
    Thanks for the videos.
    Ohh and I'll be on the lookout for the next give away, my boss is veteran.
    Thanks

    • @RJBWoodTurner
