Like Bob said...you can use Medium or for me I used thick CA, just make sure all your parts are set and ready to go. I personally use wax paper so it comes off the glued end easy but that is personal preference.Originally posted by n4631x
<br />I am really starting to like this segmented stuff. Super nice lookin. What thype of glue did you use? It seems I had to realy hurry on the CA to get it in place (right) before it sets up.

I use the WC vise as well [V]...it has taken some time to get it dialed in with my drill press but I am very, very close now as long as the blanks are square...I have had to trim a couple of blanks from WC to make sure they drilled straight... I guess I should try to get on Paul's list...it is just sooooooo very long.Originally posted by byounghusband
<br />Ed,
NICE!!! I think these pens are very eye-catching and everyone who sees them seems ot want one. When I did a Sierra, I used my WC pen vice. [xx(] It loosens up EVERYTIME I drill a blank and my segemnts didn't line up as well as I would have liked because the blank was not drilled straight.[!] I can't wait til I get my vice from Paul in OKC.....[]
Thanks alot Ron [:I],Originally posted by Ron Mc
<br />Ed,
Every time I see one of my designs posted it reminds me why I work so hard on new goodies for everyone! You did good....real good.
If I may ask...What is the dark wood?
I got these blanks off of ebay from Steven...I believe they are the same blanks...Ron???Can you answer that question?Originally posted by BigRob777
<br />Wow, very nice work. I can't imagine how much time it takes to do something like that. Did you get the original blank from Ron? I know he sells them (I think it is called the checkerboard).

Nolan- I have come close to gluing my fingers to alot of wood, paper towels, brass tubes, sand papaer...but this one was not too bad.
I tried to make these blanks but my bandsaw is not very good so long cuts do not come out very good...I tried on my table saw but the blanks were coming out too small because of the size of the blade, got new thinner blade...out of 6 blanks (3 each)of bloodwood and birds eye maple I had one that turned out pretty darn good...but I did not have enough glue in part of the checkerboard stage so when I went to turn it it blew up and I had this huge gaping hole in the middle of my pen![xx(]At that point I said forget it and bought it from Steven. [] Much easier and saved a ton of time and effort! I could probably now be able to make these blanks but for the time it would take me to make them, it costs less to buy them from Ron or Steven with the same or better results.Originally posted by Jim Boyd

OK now I'm confused. Did you make this blank using the tutorial or buy the blank on ebay
I guess I should read your tutorial a little closer[][8D][][)]Originally posted by Ron Mc

Jim,
The only blank that he got off of eBay would be the checkerboard blank. That is what is needed to begin making a pen based on my tutorial.[]
