super awesome video man! I just bought my first lathe and hope to use it in a few days when I get everything else I need for pens
Pen turning is a lot of fun. Thanks for watching.
Hi what a very good video like it a lot in England when we are ready to polish we take the center bushing out to save getting glue and polish on then. wishing you all the best from the pen people in the UK.
Hi Scott, we do that here too. but I found that I have less sanding to do on the ends when I use the bushings. I don't seem to get a lot of glue on them. Plus I am rather lazy :) Thanks for Watching! Take care.,
Great video! Thanks to you I am also using this technique on my pens now! Used to use only ca glue and HUT polish, now I added Yorkshire Grit Microfine in between (Ack's unfortunately not available in South Africa) and it's amazing what difference the microfine paste does!
I agree PhilipJ, the microfine paste removes all the scratches and gives a great looking finish. Thanks for watching.
Wonderful thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Thank you for watching.
Hi very helpful and well presented..Thank you! Greetings from the U.K.
thanks for watching Glass house.
what grit do you start at to start sanding the ca
most of the time 150. on some projects 125.
You have no idea how much this helped
I am glad that it did, thanks for watching.
Leopardwood I believe
I believe you are correct Daniel, thanks for watching.
very good video. The wood is Leopard wood.
I agree, though it could also be quarter sawn Mahogany. They look very similar
Cool, thank you. It is a nice looking wood.
Great tutorial and step-by-step process on how to. That said, not all of us have a lathe with a speed control, so trying to follow your guidance will require changing the belt on the pulleys. Not really practical for this process. Can we just keep in at a low speed until it's time to sand at which time we can crank up the rpms? Cheers!
You absolutely can do that. You can even sand at slower speeds, it will just take a little longer.
Thanks so much for the great information. Your techniques will be invaluable for my deer antler turning projects in the future!
Great, have fun with that and thanks for watching.
Great Video!
But i have one question: How do you remove the finished peices from your mandrel? Didn´t they stick to the bushings? I ask because i want to try out that type of finish myself, and here in germany, we can hardly get any non-sticking bushings.
Have a nice day :)
They stick a little, but quickly separate. I have the non-stick bushings and I never use them. The CA builds up under the ends and requires a good amount of sanding to get them smooth. I just use the metal bushings.
Great tutorial. I’m just starting to turn pens and I am looking forward to using your finishing method. Thank you so much for sharing!
You're welcome, and welcome to the world of pen turning. Thanks for watching.
Very useful video, thank you. I've just made my first pen, and it's looking good!
Excellent! I am glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
Excellent tutorial! I hadn’t been happy with my finishes and tried this today… The finish is PERFECT! Thank you!
You are very welcome.
Great video. I'm turning pens for the next Vetran honor flight. This will speed the process up.
Thanks
I am glad it helped speed up the process. That is a good program to be involved in.
When you wet sand the wood blanks, how do you keep the water from soaking into the ends of the finished wood?
Very well done instructions, thanks.
The CA glue will form a tight seal around the bushings keeping the water out. Thanks Aaron and thanks for watching.
I’m just starting turning pens and struggling. You made it look too easy.
I guarantee Mark, you will get the hang of it. Have fun turning.
great work, hope you bring that on Sunday, would love to see it up close and see those layers you're talking about
Had the pen and I forgot to show you.
You gave me a lot of good information, thanks you
Glad it was helpful and thank you for watching.
Thank you, Sir! Nice demo!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Nice video, great looking pen!
Thanks Anthony, and Thanks for watching.
What was the name of the boat polish. Great video thank you
Thanks Jack. The one I used in the video is called Driven and I purchased it at a boat show. However, I found another one that is just as good, and about half the price, you can find it here: Star brite Premium Marine Polish: amzn.to/3bzmj9X
Thanks for watching
Excellent video, great quality, good content, good editing, good sound. You're a pro at this! Keep it up! I'm curious what kind of wood was that?
Thanks Ron, I wish I knew what kind of wood that is, it came in a pack of 12 assorted hardwood pen blanks. It is nice looking. If anyone knows what type of wood that is, please leave a comment below.
@@MadNerdWorkshop I finished watching the video after I commented and then I heard you say that. That's what I get for commenting too fast :)
@@avramw That is no problem at all, all comments are good.
@@MadNerdWorkshopThank you for the video. It looks like leopardwood; I've made two leopardwood pens and the wood looked like this. Hope this helps.
Super-helpful video - haven't turned a pen in a decade, but i'm about to get back into it. Thanks for the tutorial!
I am glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching
Absolutely loved this video - following your advice which was brilliantly presented and so easy to follow, I have made my first pen using CA. It was made from gnarly elm and I used gold leaf to fill the pores of the wood. Delighted at the result but it was your instruction that made it possible :)
That is Wonderful! I am glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
