I'm with Chris

Agreed. Marvelous looking writing instrument. Now, do tell. For all of us noobie, hackers, woodbutchers, etc., how do you make those segmented barrels?

I'd really love to know.

Thanks,

Dan, you need to change your name to "Segmentation Dan". Must be getting bored again. All joking aside that may be the best one yet.Looks like I'm gonna have to come up one weekend. Still trying to set my saw up to cut segments.

Good looking pen. I especially like the addition of the windows in the brick wall.

Beautiful pen! The segmentation is unbelievable!

 

[hewunch]

Great work! I love making brick looking pens. Try an eight way one. Those are fun too.

 

[aggromere]

that is really incredible. I am in awe of you guys that can make those intricate segmented blanks. My segmented blanks have pieces of finger in them.

Thanks everyone. I love doing these while listening to the ballgame. Hans, I will try an eight way. I'm thinking of some other things to go with the segments too.

Chris, here's how I do it...cut, glue, rotate...cut, glue...slice, slice, slice, etc....glue, glue, glue, etc...drill and turn. That's really it. In the library, do a search for segmenting, there is a lot of great folks who did a great job explaining the process.
