So curious here. I normally use a drill press and pen vice to drill my blanks but had a hard time with making an acrylic key chain tooth pick holder. The hole was basically too large and wallered out. So it was suggested to use my lathe to get a more accurate hole. So I got the accessories needed for my lathe and the hole is more straight but still too big, the drill insert falls right through. Could I have a bad 11mm bit even though it is brand new? Or something else?

Lose that music..

Fantastic Tutorial, Thank You, I've been trying to get the Manufacturer to respond about the Mt on the Head. I'm glad I Found you.

Far and away, the best description and demonstration of CA Pen Finishing I’ve ever seen! Wow! ❤

*PromoSM* ☹️

Do you sell the tool holders shown? Don't see them in the catalog. Thanks

this is funny... i am using a small room in my basemnt,where i already use old school AV carts for my larger machines ( planer,CNC,drill press,bandsaw, thinkness sandder) moving them to the center when needed, i also use peg boad in front of my lathe too handle my chizels, 4 way chuck, jacobs chuck and several alen wrenches ,i do keep my bushings for turning in a plastic draw system, so yeah this is all a good ideal :)

Some really good ideas, thanks for sharing.!

Barry, you are a teacher at heart, thank you for being so clear, and making it as easy as it should be. Thanks again...Dan

Thank you for making a video without saying uhm all the time. Very well spoken and clear instructions. Very professional. Appreciate the time all took to make it.

Thanks! Very helpful!

Very nice. Only thing you might have showed that you need to sand the ends of the blank.

We have a rockwell, beaver. The Headstock and tail are solid, no taper on ether. Suggestions for a work around would be appreciated

easy wood tools did it better in my opinion

Excellent video Great work !

Lose the music..often its distracts from your valuable information. Its a common comment on most videos..its not needed. I am a beginner and this info was very helpful..

Does the CA glue have a shelf life? I have been doing CA glue finishes for several years with no I’ll affects. Recently any use of CA glue irritates my eyes sometimes swelling them up. I have used both a mask and a full face respirator and continue to have those issues

They look great, too bad yall were out of stock when I was getting new pen kits to sell

I used to live near your old store a great place to buy stuff and watch the employees work in the shop there so watching these videos is a nice way to remember your store

Thanks for sharing. You make it look so eeeesy!!!

Nice video. It takes the mystery out of getting an excellent finish, simply. Thanks.

You mentioned using rouge when buffing. Where do you get it? I didn't see it on your website.

In a previous video by Barry, he demonstrated it using the Abralon mesh sanders in between the regular sandpaper and the wet sanding pads. Are the Abralon mesh sanding steps no longer needed?

great information, where do you get those boxes?

Think I've been doing most of these things recently. I did lose one $100 roller ball this year from someone dropping it on the pavement - padded tile added to the list! My biggest challenge was feeling confident enough to actually ask for $50 - $100 for a decent pen. I like the idea of having one super high priced as a show-off piece and to set the price ceiling. Good tips all around - thanks for putting this together.

Love your comments and so educational.

Γειά σου φίλε μου . Πως μπορώ να αποκτήσω αυτό το τσοκ. Έχω στροφές τορνου Μ33 . 3.5

Nice presentation.

Try Acks abrasive paste and carnuba wax polish after you apply the Ca glue to your pens, hundreds now use our way to finish a pen, not wet sanding, no dust. No one we know wet sands anymore!! There is no reason to do that.

Good info but the audio is way out of sync. But I was playing at 2x.

Does it actually shoot?

Why is the starter kit that is mentioned not available? Same with the cutter jig and slicer

The Wild Card Pen Kit requires a tube to be cut 1.975". How to cut that precisely accurately? Thanks!

My sampler bottle didn’t come with any oil?

Is this starter kit still available? The website link at Penn results in a 'page not found' message.

This video really needs to show the full assembly. My kit name with the clip and barrel components completed disassembled and assembly has been FAR from easy! 😡

Thank you for the video! I got a bag of parts and no real idea what went where. Yes it's my first time lol thanks again

For the matching inlay what set of bushings do you need while turning?

A quick question. Where do you find the business for this mandril and what size to you use?

please lower or change the annoyingly loud and stale music!

I have made several pens so far and I must say I'm highly disappointed in the process. I have found the blanks are not hard after cooking but are rather like soft rubber. I have used a thermometer so think the temp is right. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but the pens are so bad that I won't even give them away. I would rather disasember and start over with wood or some other material. Can you provide some insight as to what I'm doing wrong? I hope you are still watching this video for comments. Thanks so much.

uhh, you forgot to put on a blank.

Are kits still available?

What lathe is this

Such a wonderful instructor. No ums or ahs. Stayed in sequence of correct steps. It does look as if the clay is “proud” around the bushings instead of flush with the bushing. Is that typical of clay pens?As soon as he suggested to hide a “messy seam” I knew he was the real thing. Only a trick that someone who has made pens before would know that. Great video. Just submitted my order.

I need a mandrel, I also need money to buy a mandrel.

I love your channel I just ran across it I've been trying to find out what's really going on and see about other patterns and nobody did it but you Imma have to tell everybody so they can come to this Tower and watch it thank you 😃😃😃😃😃😃

How does it adhere to the copper tube? Does it stay on good?

I bought a #1 instead of #2 🤦‍♂️

I purchased one. Question mine rocks where the 2 red wings are. So when you go to press the pen part it torques it. I am afraid it going to hurt the pen blank. The red wings are tight. Is it suppose to do that???
