Video I found: Is there such a video for pen makers on how to use a parting tool to make say a three to six mm segment for a blue and white segmented pen?
Your help needed: I am in the market to purchase a real good parting tool to try to cut segments to make a segment style pen. I did find one video on U tube where a fellow shows how to use the parting tool on a large piece of wood on his lathe. He suggested a 3/8 inch diamond parting tool. Would a smaller one work even better for pen blanks?
Would you recommend a good tool for a beginner to start working on?
If there is a discussion on this forum maybe you show me where it may be so I can read it.
I am sure many of us beginners have the same problem as I do I need to see how some of your methods are done by picture or video and then go to the shop and try to do this.
In my experience in life I have found many of the good craftsman's or artists are Visual in nature and maybe because I am a Visual person that is why I need instructions on how to do something on a video or in print.
Look forward to your suggestions. bob
