Very good idea as some others had pointed out. I don't know why I didn't use a stop block. Sometimes you get so focused and closely involved with your initial thought process and your desired result I blind myself. Thanks for the comment.
have seen this type of segmented blanks, was wondering how they were done.Now I know, Will have to give it a try. Thanks for the clear, easy to follow instructions!
hi loved the idea for scalloped pen i have not long started to make pens you are very inspirational for pen turning with great ideas and tutorial videos thank you : )
Thanks a lot Lynn I had an idea on doing this very thing you just show me a far better and easier way than I had planed to do it. again thankyou. I have just subscribed cant wait to see more. I just love the look of segmented pens
+steve lowe Thanks Steve, I hope it helped. I've got some other segmenting techniques coming in May and June that I think you'll like. If you haven't already check out the 2nd video of the "A Pen Maker's Canvas" series. Thanks for watching, subscribing and commenting. Regards - Lynn
Ho iniziato adesso a costruire penne e grazie ai tuoi video sto imparando parecchio, complimenti per le tue realizzazioniveramente ben fatte grazie per averle condiviso con noi.ti sento parlare di materiali come alluminio ,ottone ma io non so perché non riesco a trovare una colla corretta per l'ottone,puoi darmi qualche suggerimento? Grazie
Lynn -- Thank you for an interesting and instructive video. You made the process easy to understand. One suggestion: You might consider flipping the orientation of your camera, so that it captures the action "upside down". That way, when viewed "right-side up", we'll see things from your perspective. That way, when you draw a number on the blank (for example), it won't be upside down to the viewer.
+David Walser LOL - I actually filmed it upside down but flipped it in editing. Next time I'll consider your thought and see how it looks. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you got something out of it.
great video, one comment/question, why not use a stop block on the sled to register your cuts? i do that all the time to create celtic knots. your scallopped ends would be great to replace a centreband on a slimline or euro roundtop type pen!
Thank you Lynn for your tutorials. They are a pleasure to learn from. In this video, you turn the blank to 5/8" before drilling for the tube. Do you think it matters if you drill and glue in the tube first, then create the 60 degree chamfer and turn between centers?
Hi Lynn, Found this video on the recommended list. I've just posted my 50th video which was a segmented pen. I would love to know what you think. Take care Lynn. Cheers, Huw PS Just re-subscribed as RU-vid had, for some reason, un-subscribed me from your channel. This has happened quite a few times. Huw
Lynn, very good video. One question. Any reason one couldn't set a stop block on the sled when the first cut is made so that each side is guaranteed to cut the next 45 at the exact same point? That way you wouldn't have to draw the reference line and eyeball it with each cut. Just wondering if that would work. Thanks again for a great video!
Very interesting process. What is the marker or pen you used for marking. It looks unusual to me. Also if I could offer a suggestion about your logo on your sled, I would reverse it so it shows up right side up on the video. It always pays to advertise.
+Brian Binns Hey Brian thanks for commenting, I picked up that pencil at Lowes, it is a Dixon REACH with 5.6 mm lead with a sharpener in the cap. Pretty handy.
@@LynnLaceyLLWW Oh cool. Thanks. Do I bind it to the wood with wood glue as use the same tools just like any other piece of wood? Sorry for the questions. I'm new to this.
