Nice pen. Very cool. I can't find the picture of my first pen.

All I have is a band saw Kadyn...use your mitre jig...nothing says you have to go all the way through...fresh blade and go slow!!!! Also use a fill material that is the same thickness as the saw blade. And welcome!!

You are welcome!! I also use my band saws with homemade jigs or my mini miter and mini table saws for complex segmenting. If you have questions or need help, just ask , someone here has always been there before. Jim S

thank you all for the warm welcome. I looked into the library and will be constructing a sled tomorrow for my band saw to replace the stock slider assembly. thank you all again! and i look forward to learning as much as i can and posting many more times.

Welcome from Texas Kaydn! The fit looks pretty good for a first shot. One option on the inside 90 would be a nice square sanding block.

well when i say it was rough... i mean i wasted probably a third of the blank before i got the angle close enough to fill with some medium CA but i will give the sanding block a shot for sure!

From a man who is a master of the segment... it means a lot to see your support. Thanks mike!

Oh and as an update! I tuned my bandsaw up! And that fixed almost ALL my wander problems! Perfect straight angles and cuts. Its a thing of beauty folks

There are much better than I at segmenting in this forum. I am just an experimenter there are some here who are real masters...

Nice looking pen.

I made a small sled for my benchtop band-saw that gets me really close. I'll then take a very small square and a small file and fine tune the cut out to be right on. Then, and only then, will I glue up. And, like was said before, slow cutting or no cutting.

Kadynr6, don't let Mike fool you for one second with the above post. He's a pro.
