jigsaw pen

[edstreet]

Well not a full pen yet. I am half way done with it so far. This one has been very tedious and problematic for me. Mostly because it's been a real learning curve.

Ed, is the Hawaiian wood option? Looking good so far.

 

[edstreet]

Man, I really have to buy one of those someday, they are just stunning. Looking good Ed, what is the hardships you need to deal with on a kit like that?

 

[edstreet]

well for me it was getting all those parts together with out breaking, cracking, etc.. Mostly I have never made anything with multiple items like this, same with segments. When I did start work on it I realized the hardest part I had was thinking I had a problem with it but in the end it all comes down to get up do it then work with/around whatever may come up in the process.

Nice,nice pen. I want to do one of those. But, it isn't in my budget at this time.

They come out very well don't they? They are great looking pens.[][][]

 

[louisbry]

Looking good so far. Perhaps the rest of the pen will come easier.

 

[edstreet]

Should now that I know what I am doing

Brilliant work so far, remember to post a picture when it`s complete![]

 

[gwilki]

Beautifully done, Ed. I'm looking forward to seeing it capped.

 

[TBone]

Looks great so far. I'm sure that creates it's own set of problems

 

[workinforwood]

yea, at fist glance I was thinking brilliant idea, and piece of cake to do on the scroll saw. After a moments though though, I reconsider the ease part big time. It would be a compound scrolled cut I'm guessing? That's far from easy. However it's done, has to be a real brute! I love it big time!

 

[edstreet]

cake? nope not this one. I am not sure what type of equipment he uses to cut these but it's quite remarkable.

Now if you were doing larger sections, say a bowl or something then you might be able to use the scroll saw on it. This is 1.5mm thick.

WOW! That's a puzzling trick you have there. I'm in awe at the tediousnous of such a pen, but You have shown that it actually can be done and the results are worth the trouble. Keep it up man!

I made up one of these pens a couple of months ago. I had it at my first show two weeks ago. One of the other vendors husbands realy examened it and asked all the usual questions. He then went and got his wife and brought her back to show it to her. After looking at it and asking all the questions about how it was made she questioned my sanity also. You did a great job.
