Remarkable pen and an even more remarkable post. Thank you!
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.

One other question. Do you cut all your knots at 45 degrees??? Do you use other degrees and what is actually the difference???? Does a more acute angle tighten the knot or flatten it out??? Thanks.

Hello Ed
One more question. You show making one cut on this blank. When making multiple cuts you have to square the blank again what do you use to do this??? Do you use a sander or some other method??? Thanks.

The 45 degree cut makes a small or tight knot...any where between 45 and 60 degrees seems to make the best looking ones, it boils down to personal preference.
I cut my inserts just shy of the same size as the blank, about 1 mm or so, they dont extend past the blank after glue up...about the only clean up I have to do is lightly sand off the over flow glue.
I do this because once you have turned it down past a given point it makes no difference how wide or tall the inserts were, you have turned past that point anyway and it removes the step of re-truing your blank each cut...just a light sand and go...
