Learning from my mistakes.

[LOIBLB]

This Black Palm pen was one of two I have made. On this particular pen I got the idea to use wood glue to glue the brass tubes in the wood blanks.
The pen was turned and put together. After assembly I was told the pen was too thick for my wife to use. I took the pen apart and found the tubes were not attached to the wood anymore. It may be oils in the wood.
After re-gluing with epoxy this time I turned the pen down and rebuilt. New pen maker

Mistakes are the way we learn.

My Grandfather always said...... It isn't a mistake if you can fix it.

Good job of salvaging your pen. I tore up a couple before I successfully disassembled, fixed, and reassembled one. Can't tell you ever had a problem with it.

In case you haven't heard, there's a club that meets just a little ways up I-35W from where you live. Here's the link for the club: Home - Wood Turners of North Texas . Next meeting is Jan 26. Great place to learn and grow.

Yes, I'm a member of that club. Lots of things for me to learn from there.
Thanks

Ditto on a mistake is a learning experience.
