Lately I have taken a liking to segmented pen designs and have been working with some ideas of drilling holes in the blanks, equally around the blank.
Everything I have tried so far has either been a flop or very labor intensive. My latest attempt was to create a hexagon blank then drill in the center of each side. While it works pretty well, there has got to be an easier way.
I even drilled holes freehand into turned blank but what a pain in the rear that is and not a pretty picture.
There has got to be an easier way of drilling a series of holes around a blank to where they are equally spaced and perpendicular to the cylinder.
Any thoughts anyone would care to share?
