Did I say 12? Uhmmmmm, I meant 24, uh no 36!
Wouldn't that be considered gluing shavings to a tube?!

Would you like a tutorial?Wouldn't that be considered gluing shavings to a tube?!
Well Neil, I've already got a prototype sitting in my "shop", just never took the time to make it in to a pen. Does that count for beating you to it?:biggrin:
I'll take that as a compliment Ed.Now you two DO sound like Eagle.
akbar24601 But, I still think severak folks are overly concerned that once everyone figures out this top secret design that the market will be flooded with knockoffs, afterall it's just a herringbone design for crying outloud! If it's so time consuming, most won't even fool with it.
This hysteria reminds me of the celtic knots, for a while everyone had to make one, myself included, but it soon died down and I haven't made one in over a years now!
I knew there had to be more than the few I knew of. It's good to know that they are around, but I am still asking the question "Who developed it?". I would like to give credit where credit is due.Where's Mike Vickery(vick)? Remember him, he made/makes the 'best' herringbone patterned pens that I've seen by far. Mike if you're out there, chime in and share a bit of your wisdom.
Gloat: I happen to own one of his herringbone FP. I've made a few blanks (herringbone) but I can't hold a candle to his work.
Well I've been trying to picture this in my head since I found this thread yesterday. I will agree with what everyone has said....get out to the shop and try it! After a few failed tries, I figured it out. I am glad there wasn't written instructions on this as I would have missed the journey of figuring it out on my own and getting in some quality shop time.
That being said....this blank takes patience and a ridiculous amount of work.
Though I have give advice to many people, Neil is the only one that finished one and I asked him to keep it a secret. So if anyone has an issue with him not telling can blame me
Thanks Chip, the one last great secret that was aggravating people is out, Whom I gave my word to. I believe everyone out here has figured out that my word means a lot to me.Not that it makes much difference but the first 360 herringbone I saw was faber castel's... Then BRobbins posted his that was made directly on the tube. I then made and posted mine that was made from a solid blank. Though I have give advice to many people, Neil is the only one that finished one and I asked him to keep it a secret. So if anyone has an issue with him not telling can blame me
So why did someone have to start making a big deal out of it when they could have let a sleeping dog rest. You know how it is sometimes, someone just has to go and stir the pot for their own entertainment.But, I still think severak folks are overly concerned that once everyone figures out this top secret design that the market will be flooded with knockoffs, afterall it's just a herringbone design for crying outloud!

Imagine tipping the pieces as you glue them --
wolftat I don't understand your post at all. You wait four days to reply to a post that wasn't directed towards you at all and then only include part of the quote! What's going on... thread slowing down, need to keep the discussion going? Gimme a break!If you reread what I wrote, you may see that it was actually agreeing with you. If you took it another way, I apologize for that. I wasn't pointing any fingers, I was just making a general comment about how I saw it and was using a quote from what you posted. I never asked you to recant anything. Relax and take a deep breathe.
I think some of the long drawn out conversations are killing me!!!! LOL :biggrin:The suspense is killing me
I love it!
