Cool design! May I ask which saw blades and accessories did you order with the Byrnes Saw to execute a design like that? Regards, Doc
when doing something like this what are the do's and don'ts??? How about shaping to keep the design you are lokking for what needs to be done??? How about different tube sizes??? Gives us some discription. If you are going to do this please document your findings. It looks like it could open a whole new avenue in pen blanks. Thanks
Spent about 3 hours on it on Sat. Will post a picture of my new pen later today.
Of course, my computer died over the weekend, so ALL pen designs (and everything else) is gone. Sigh...two steps back.
Take the hard drive out and either put it in another PC or buy an external powered HD case and attach it via USB to you new machine.

For me drilling is the hardest part. I have ruined more segmented blanks drilling off center then any other way. It really bums you out too because there is no fixing it.
I'm uploading this just in case anyone is interested. My Byrnes saw comes tomorrow. I'm hoping to try this design next weekend.
I'm calling this a Harlequin pen and its engineered (on Sketchup) to match specs on a Big Ben twist pen from PSI.
