So I've been working on my mad falling into the abyss, can't catch myself, crazy descent into pen turning.

Here is a picture of my shop made pen press & band-saw cut off jig which I still need to make a quick length adjustment part for.

I included a picture of my Big Tiny Little 14" 1 1/2 HP Band-saw with a 26" wide by 28" deep table which makes it easy to to cut big pieces of wood into small pieces of wood. I did find that in some cases I prefer to rip the length of the pen blank on the Table-saw.

I've included a picture of a few Maple blanks that have been ripped to 3/4" size.

So it now looks like I need to buy pen kits a pen mandrel, barrel trimmer, Micro mesh, CA glue well at least the list is smaller.

Hi Bart ...

I can help you, just ship those blanks about 40 miles south to Clinton and it'll save you from the madness [}:)]

Thanx Kindly,

Scott and Candy

Yo Bart! I'll be happy to take some of those blanks off your hands should you decide to sell any!
PS....Get a 1/2 ton Arbor Press from Harbor Freight when it goes on sale (about 20 bucks or so). INFINATELY better than a ratchet clamp!
