Now comes the easy part select the pairs ( I use rubber bands to mate them for convenience) ,drill, fit the brasses and turn them. I can see some fine pens in there, have fun in the making.

Regards Peter.

You should not be bored. Convert those blanks into pens, sell them, buy more wood. Easy

Skite!

Like Corbs got boxes everywhere and stacked on the bench, close to 2000 now and still cutting. Never have enough blanks.

**Skew ChiDAMN!!** · 27th March 2009, 09:56 PM

Yeah, me too. And I'm still cutting pen blanks out of offcuts that're "too good to throw away."

At least they pack compactly and don't take up much space... yet.

**Sawdust Maker** · 27th March 2009, 10:16 PM

yeah
I think I've three times as many blanks as pens I've made

but I ask "what is wrong with collecting little bits of timber

then there's the pen planks in waiting ie the bits of too nice timber yet to be sliced and diced

and then there's the "I knew what this was when I cut it up but what the hell is it now?" I know Al something ...

ah ha ...

oooo... I've got THOUSANDS of those!

I'm too embarrassed to make pens out of them because then I'd have to name the wood.

.. so I used them for blank swaps..

**poulso** · 28th March 2009, 11:14 AM

I've got about 6 blanks & 4 of those are acrylics.
Will have to see if i can get some while i'm
in Brisbane next month.

**eisbaer** · 28th March 2009, 07:12 PM
