Video - The Sharpie Refill Pen

[Stevej72]

It's been a couple years since I've made a Sharpie pen and decided it was time to turn a couple new ones. I'm trying to get a little experience making videos and doing training so thought I'd do a video of it.

Steve - what lathe chuck is being used in that video? I haven't seen anything like that.

I'm not Steve, but it looks to me like a Talon with spigot jaws.

Thanks Steve...er, Ed! What about the mandrel? Looks like he slips something on the shaft then slides the blank on for some type of wedge-fit.

Now I need to go find some sharpie refills.

I checked and Staples has them on their web site. Not sure if they are a stock item.

It is is a Pin Chuck. This article has some information on pin chucks on page 3. There is also a tutorial on making an O-ring pin chuck here.

Awesome video...I have been slowly contemplating how to do this exact thing, Thanks !!

I have had difficulty finding the refills in the local office supply stores....even the chain stores. Here is a link to a mail order office supply company. I haven't ordered from them yet as I just found the place.
