hahaha.
The secret is the Beall Penwizard.
I turned the blanks down to about 0.620" round, then faceted them on the Penwizard until about 0.480 width.
I then lap on a piece of granite, with 320, 400 and 600 wet sandpaper.
Then I use the Beall buffing system.
Check out the videos for the pens on instagram #robspenworks
I'll post more of the setup pictures next time I run one.
I do use a Foredom, because its easier to set the height.
