tube

Those of you that make TM Omegas what size of drill do use use for the cap tube I tend to find the 15/32 is a bit of a slack fit for the tube or am I being to fussy

Well, I’ve been around wood turning long enough to see some fatuous bits of equipment created to meet some totally unnecessary desire of someone to make others waste their hard earned cash. Please don’t pander to this next “invention”. It’s coming to an outlet near you shortly no doubt, just...

Hi anyone had a problem with the nip arrangement no longer gripping in the brass tube? Anyone got a solution ? Kevin

Tried a quick search but to be honest I am not great with forum searches lol, I know I have seen Aluminium pens on the forum so just wondering how people finish them, I decided to experiment making an acrylic pen with a picture, thinking the brass tubes were a little thin & wanting the picture...

I have just made my first Sagiters pen and there is a problem. The refill tip does not retract fully and when extended, it protrudes too far. I have made sure I have assembled the kit correctly, and I definitely have not removed too much when sanding the barrel square. I had bought two of these...

Another from the other side of the pond. This is Tru Stone and Aluminum (or Aluminium) depending or you choice of beverage temperatures. :pint: Constructing the blank was interesting... Drilling the tube hole was very interesting... And the turning was :pray: "successful." The theme was for...

Hi Guys I bought a long length of 27/64 tube along with a couple of other sizes to replace tubes that went wrong due to blowouts etc. Anyway, I had a couple of sirocco kits to makeup but no tubes so I cut the correct length off my long piece of 27/64 and glued them up, etc. I turned the blanks...

Art Deco Pen, Papaya Blank with Black Painted Tube Bolt Action with Desert Camo

I ordered a couple of the new blanks from Pen Blanks and Moulds. The ones with a picture glued to the tube and cast in resin. I turned one down to night to see how they come out. It came out very well. Yes there is a join were the picture is folded over the tube but on this one you would have to...

I am still fairly new to Pen Turning and this is my first Retro Pen that I turned from acrylic. I think I should have painted the pen tube white before I glued it in as I can see the tube in various places.

Hello all, Today I decided to make some wood pen blanks for some Sierra pens. I found a suitable piece of Burr Elm and prepared it for the brass tube only to find that the tube would not completely enter . I took the blank back to the drill thinking that all it needed was a cleaning out. Still...

I apologise if this has already been asked loads of times, but what Is needed for casting labels on tube in blanks ? Obviously a mold of some sort with the bungs, but what labels are used and can both Epoxy and polyester be used ? I’ve done a google and YouTube search there are lots of how...

Hi All, Just a simple bit of Pine. Pine Pen tube. - YouTube

Hello penturners! Somebody asked me to make a ballpoint pen in snakewood. I have never been lucky with this wood, it always cracks. I think it is because of the tube and the metallic parts that expand with the heat of the hand. So I just made one without any snug-fit metal parts: no tube and no...

Nice simple project. Good for practicing. Polymer clay wrapped around the tube and cast in Alumilite. Sanded to 1200 grit and buffed. Alumilite & Polymer clay - YouTube

Hi there, Ive been having a few issues with torn grain and wondering if it's potentially down to tool choice. The first pen I made I used only a roughing gouge and the results were very good. I have mde a few more pens since and started with a skew then moved on to a spindle gouge, and on...

One of my steampunk bolt action pens using watch parts, I used CA glue to bond the carbon braid to the brass tube then trimmed the carbon back each end on a disc sander. I made a set of dies to shape the watch parts the same diameter of the tube then anealed/cleaned and glued said watch parts to...
