    Multi-cast Resin Mold

    At one point online, I ran across a site that had a ton of different multi-cast molds that after casting both parts would result in a resin segmented style pen. For the life of me, I can’t find it now. There were over 10-20 different molds for casting…and my husband says if I can’t figure out...

    Newbie segmenting questions

    Hello, Looking forward to making segmented blanks. Will a small bandsaw do? I don't have enough space for a tablesaw. If so, which blade is recommended? Secondly, is there a guide to making some interesting segmented patterns? I bought several books on the subject but they discuss mainly...

    Nice result for a busy weekend

    I had a busy weekend making Christmas presents (even though they are going to be late). Some interesting results with these. Still some details to work on, but I'm generally happy with these. These are all going to couples, so the theme is 'His / Hers'. The middle four are designs I've done...

    Now Look What you Made Me Do!

    The talents displayed on this site are awe inspiring and very motivating. The resource pages are just full of techniques that I am anxious to try. One such is the Scalloped Pen tutorial by Tim Spaulding. I decided I would give it a go using Walnut, and coloured veneer. Using this method...

    First segmenting attempt

    A very good friend of mine just got engaged so I made him and his fiancée a set of matched pens as an engagement present. I’ve not attempted any segmenting prior to this and though there are a couple small defects (so small they don’t show up in pictures) I learned a lot and am happy enough with...

    Segmenting How to get the jagged edge

    The only way I can think to achieve this look is the break off the end of the wood but that would compromise the structural integrity of the wood? Thanks in advance for any advice.

    My most challenging work so far, as a newbie

    I am a relative newcomer to pen-turning so please don't be too harsh. Any comments or advice are very welcome though. Please excuse the photography. One pen is waxed finish, the other is cyanoacrylate.

    Herringbone Aluminium Art Deco Style

    I think this is the hardest pen I have made so far. I had two total failures before I finally got it to work. The metal gets hot very quickly and the glue does not hold when it is hot. I ended up using electronics freeze spray to keep my drills cold while drilling it out. I also had to limit...

    Turquoise and Ironwood Mesa Pen

    Am I allowed to show off my 13-year-old son's pen? He just made it last night and I think it is a beauty! Here is a link to see it on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHM_N42DFaq/

    Greetings From Wales

    I am delighted to have joined the IAP a few weeks ago, but the workshop has been very busy and I have only just got around to saying hello. I have been turning pens for about a year, and more recently commenced creating and selling segmented wood pen blanks. Please take a look at my pen...

    Segmenting Struggles

    So. I started trying to make an overly complicated (for me) pen, and struggled as a result. I wanted to do a Sierra with two woods in it, cut at a 45 degree angle, so that there is a chevron in wood B inserted into a blank of wood A. After I was mostly done with the pen, I read in the library...

    Newbie but eager to learn

    I have been "turning" for technically 2 years BUT actual turning time, I have about 3 months experience with my lathe ... so I'm NEW :redface:. I am eager to learn about the pens and many aspects that can be done with them - they are so much more than "just basic turning" like one of my...

    Walnut, cherry, aluminuim

    Here is a vintage classic from Smitty's! It was a $2 kit on closeout and I have been learning for maybe three months less than 20 pens so far. I thought this one turned out nice ! Also I posted one picture with my ipad and it will only do 1 picture period! Any ideals, I know others have the same...

    Two Bottle Stoppers

    These two bottle stoppers are four woods which were from cutoffs on two bread knife handle laminations. Droplets are stainless steel. Sanded 180, 400 and 600 Abranet, then MM to 2400. Finish is four applications of Shellawax. I just kind of winged it on the shapes. C&C welcome. Thanks for looking.

    Segmented, swirls, celtic knots, new from Oregon, USA

    Hello to all the Pen Inthusiasts; My (Denver395) was a nickname bestowed by my Uncle when I could barely spit! My name is Denvy and love to turn. At first my thoughts turned to bowls, then two segmented chess sets, different projects, then pens. My favorite is creating the slimline to resemble...
