    Default coffee bean pens

    G'day
    I decided it was time I had a go at one of these . The method I followed was generally as shown in Zac Higgens utube video .The beans were not stabalized but I used plenty of CA during turning .
    The resin is epoxy and they are finished with CA.

    You have done well. Those dreaded beans just love to fly and be free

    Thanks Neil . I didn't have much trouble with the beans coming out, but the little voids in the beans were a pain .

    Looks good. I can only use my imagination on how these little beans will react when on the lathe(just like someone using a pea shooter or more like an air rifle ).
