    Default A simple segmented pen

    Got in the shop today to finish a blank I was working on before my back went out on me. This is a Sierra Vista chrome kit. I dressed it in a black acylic with an aluminum celtic knot that I made. Spun it and polished to a high shine. Thanks for looking. Any questions or comments always welcomed.

    That's nice. Can I ask how you did the knot?

    There's nothing simple about segmenting. I've tried many a failed time to get lined up perfectly.so I think you under-labelled your beautiful pen. That's fantastic. Can I ask what glue you used to join the aluminium to the acrylic?

    I think this is the tutorial that MIK was referring to. www.woodworkforums.com/f207/ambonia-celtic-knot-jig-cut-87801

    A far as the glue goes I use System III T88 epoxy for all my segmented blanks.


    Here is a couple more of my simple segmented pens that this pen fits in with. I call it my black acrylic and aluminum series.

    Very classy looking pen JT.
    Having done a couple of celtic knot pens myself, I can see your attention to detail has really paid off with this one.

    What is the thickness of the aluminium you used ? I am guessing it might be 1/16".

    Yes it is. It fits just nice in the kerf. Enough room to get some epoxy in there to glue it all together. Did not run into any serious problems with it. Have a few more ideas I want to try with this theme of black acrylic and aluminum. Then may move onto some brass.
