Contestant #1

Enter my Cigarillo Pen from CSUSA on Red Pearl blank from Packard in the IAP Youth Pen Making Contest 2018. Used pre-drilled blank set tube in with Gorilla glue, let set over night, squared up blank on jig with disc sander. Turned on wood lathe mandrel using gouge, finishing down to bushing size with sand paper, ending up with 600 grit, micro mesh to 12,000, polish out with Hut Ultra Gloss Pen Polish, assembly with turners press.
My project took a full day with ####### coaching.

Contestant #2

I learned how to make a brick pen at the ##### pen meeting. The wood is cherry and the thin stuff is walnut. Lots of gluing and clamping. I used a hand saw and miter box to do the cuts. My dad helped with the finish because I kept sanding through it.
