Not sure if I will get any responce for this but I am interested so I thought I would try.
In another thread the discussion came up about being able to turn and finish a pen in 10 minutes. Would any of you that that do this regularly please detail you process for me. I would like to compare peoples methods to see if there are similarities that might allow myself or others cut off some time.
Specifically -
blank cutting and drilling proceedure
tools used (roughing gouge and skew, just skew, spindel gouge, ect.) If you use any specific cuts such as a peeling cut with a skew also list them.
lathe speed
sanding proceedure( grits used, lathe speed, amount of time on each grit)
finishing proceedure
Edited In - Everyone please do not disparage or debate the techniques or methods used. This is informational for people interested in production pen turning methods. If you are not interested please just move on.
