I don't usually time myself when making pens. That said, this group of eight pens were taken from sanded and alcohol wiped to this photograph in just under 90 minutes.
14 coats of CA glue for each tube (on the lathe)
Flush sand the ends (thanks Rick Herrell) on the lathe
Apply three coats of thin 5 cps CA to the ends
Sand using my 3D printed sanding bushings in the lathe
Buff on the Beale buff using my 3D printed buffing bushings on the lathe
Clean the tubes inside and out
Press on the lathe
Photograph
Hopefully sell this weekend.
