These won't necessarily be full how-to videos (no talking, just music and pop-up tips) but for pen makers that want to watch various pen components being made on both a wood and metal lathe, you may find these interesting.
Part 1 is done and shows making a fountain pen section for a Jowo nib on a wood lathe with basic tooling. Part 2 will be the same on the metal lathe with more advanced tooling. I have to re-film part 2 as there was a focus and exposure issue after I moved the camera. Pffft. Look for that probably between Christmas and New Years.
After that I'll move on to bodies and then caps in the same format. One for wood and one for metal lathe users. Beyond that maybe I'll do some advanced techniques like combining materials, sleeving, finishing techniques, tooling talk or whatever. I'm open to suggestions.
Enjoy.
