Gisi practice.

[Aces-High]

I got my new sander and am practicing some Gisi. What do you guys think? The hardest part now is getting the segments lined up before the glue sets... Some of these are better than others. Thinking of using 5 min epoxy instead of CA. Opinions? Thanks for looking.

VERY Good! I want to say "VERY GREAT" but those two word don't go together well!

Beautiful colors and precision segments! They say Buy ME, Buy ME!

Jason, when I lived overseas (Japan), I could find 15 minute epoxy as well as 30 minute epoxy. I kept 5, 15, 30 minute and 1 hour epoxy on hand. Sometimes with segments, 15 minutes sure helped get segments aligned and allowed time to view from every direction and double check. I don't know if we have it here in the States, but even 5 minutes in some segment situations was too fast for me. I generally used 5 minute but on segments I used more open time for alignments.

Nice!!!

The alignment on your tips are much better than others I have seen. A real challenge. I also like your color selection.

 

[Pen Zen]

Wow! How do you even do that?

I love this work... what sander did you acquire that helps you make these?

Jason, I think the pens are beautiful. A very nice job. I have been attempting to work some of the segmenting magic and you have set the bar high.

Thank you for showing the work.

Great work indeed Jason, cool looking pens!

Awesome craftsmanship, Jason! Love it.

 

[Bryguy]

Lovely pens! I just bought the Byrnes thickness sander in hopes of upping my game. Your pens are inspiring.

 

[Woodchipper]

I used 5 minute epoxy twice- first and last times. Sets up too fast.

Beauties!

 

[Kenny Durrant]

I'm very impressed! I've seen this type of work before and I thought they used some sort of special tool. I can't believe your using that sander. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job with these Jason. Hopefully you will take some time and post some of your photos as well as maybe a little summary about your procedures in the "Segmenting" portion of blank making forum. The intention of that forum was to gather info and have recorded blank makers tips and helpful suggestions for future generations to be able to use. Also to be able to look back at techniques that can be used in making a plain blank look spectacular with some simple segmenting. Again nice work and thanks for showing.
