That looks great! Well done! There is often a tendency to overuse the Pen Wizard and make pens to be "too busy" looking. I like your simple design.

Just had a look at this thing and WOW...the designs and things it can do. I think I have to own one. I wonder if it would work on aluminum as well as wood...?

Great looking pen by the way

Yes, but the cutters that you use need to be checked and cleaned regularly. I use carbide router bits for trimming aluminum often but I haven't tried the small bits on aluminum. It can be done but it needs to be watched closely. And of course when cutting aluminum, goggles or glasses are a necessity for safety.

I think the key will be finding the right bit(s).

the problem is the transition from wood to aluminum cutter, small to pass

What kind of finish did you apply to the completed 'turning/wizard'? Bet CA would be a difficult thing to do.....


I like the design, simple yet effectly shows the fluting!
