Demo Pencil

[Cwalker935]

On Thursday, I did a demo for the Richmond Penturners on how I make aluminum mechanical pencils on my wood lathe. We had a good session where I walked through my approach and had an open discussion on the process. I got some good tips from some of the members that have more experience working with metals. Here is the pencil that I did the walk through with and finished up this morning.

Very nice, Cody !!! .

How do you color the Aluminum ? . Perhaps you have told us before, but if so I forget.

I have been powder coating them. I am thinking about trying to anodize some.
