10 Minutes To Better Pen Making - End Milling - Mark Dreyer 

Hello Mark and thank you for generously presenting phenomenal info about pen turning, finishing and assembly. The productions are well paced, informative and just long enough to review to assure I confidently understand the subject. Would you consider doing an episode that includes inlays? I'm new to the art form and know a lot of people who love floral and other designs. I would love to learn how to incorporate them into a writing instrument. I am retired with no intention of marketing, etc.I have build model ships as a hobby and have every imaginable tool. I just reconfigured my shop with a wood lathe and other pen turning and assembly devices, many of which are based upon your recommendations. I simply enjoy a learning processes that offer some artistic expression that others may enjoy.

Thanks for making this video. Very useful information.

Those v-blocks are great, never tried one of those mills

Aloha, Mark. Thank you so much for making these videos. My daughter and I are learning so much from you! Could you please make a video of how to put together segmented wood blanks with a metal piece in between? Something that looks good with curly maple, maybe? Mahalo from Hawai’i. 🌺

I use my belt sander to square off my ends. I don’t have anything to make sure it’s exactly 90 degrees but I haven’t had any issues fitting my pens together.

Thank you for the great information. Where did you find your V block? I haven’t been able to find the set up like yours which appears to allow more lateral support against the miter gauge

Where did you buy your v-block

Where do you get the v-Block?
