insert
Playing with inserts, the idea blatantly swiped from Southern pen turner.
Insert is simple brass stock, a 7mm tube with a square tube and brass rods, 1/16" on the edges and 3/32" for the center.
Filled with epoxy dyed ruby red, on Black and Gold Truestone, with Elegant Beauty hardware.

Always belived in giving credit where credit is due, and thats the idea of these forums, isn'"t it?
We share info and ideas to help each other become better and more skilled at this, and to have more fun at it.
I spend more time here and on the Canadian site, PenturnersParadise, than all other pen site together simply because of the quality of the people.
By the way, while writting the original post, SWMBO walked over, glanced down at the pen, picked it up and put it in the bottomless purse....another one bites the dust!"That's why I love my computer,,,,,,,, my friends live in it."

That's a very attractive looking pen Ed. Up there with the best of them. Have you put a finish on it for the brass or left it as is ? I will put that one in the memory bank for later, too many other things on the go at the moment.

Beautiful effect
So is the insert like a dowel inserted into a drill hole into a blank before you turn?Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Ed
Another finely crafted pen and idea. Those inserts are used alot in the knife building hobby. There are so many diofferent designs and just by changing the color of epoxy you get even more looks. I may have to give some a try myself. Thanks for showing.

That’s it exactly Neil.
I made up a short piece, ½” long, and then drilled 7mm holes in the blank prior to drilling the kit tube hole.
Glue in the kit tube, cut a pair of slices from the insert about 1/8”long and glued them in, turned and polished as normal, although a little slower with shallow cuts to prevent snagging the inserts."That's why I love my computer,,,,,,,, my friends live in it."

Somewhat the same process I used, but I went with shorter length because the epoxy I use is thick and would leave big air bubbles in a long tube no matter how careful you are..
Used Transtint dye instead of paint."That's why I love my computer,,,,,,,, my friends live in it."
