Purple TruStone Pen and Tutorial

[Dick Rowe]

Great video!! I learned a bunch of new techniques that will make my pen turning life easier in the future.

[Alan Zenreich]

Thanks all for the kind words.

There are a lot of techniques demonstrated in the video.
Some are very familiar, some not so obvious.

So I'm curious

• What little tidbits did you pick up from the tutorial?
• How do my tools and techniques differ from your current procedures?

Let's chat about the many paths to the same destination... and the choices that lead us down those paths

Alan,

Thank you for this thread and posting the video, I turned my first pen last Sunday at the Milwaukee woodworking show and had a great time doing it, will not be my last pen for sure.

Oh Heather... now you're hooked <s>

I turned my first pen at a woodworking show in Somerset NJ a few years ago.

I'll be demonstrating offset/eccentric pendant (jewelry) woodturning at the Somerset show this coming Saturday at the Hudson Valley Woodturners' booth. We're generally locate right across from the Crafts Supplies USA booth, so I get to watch folk turn pens all day.
