Turning pens is hugely popular, and growing all the time. It is fun, easy and does not require a huge investment in equipment. Our new How-To DVD, Basic Pen Turning walks you through the process of turning a simple pen from cutting the wooden blanks to assembling the pen.

The Blank Prep & Turning segment begins with a look at cutting pen blanks from your scraps and cutoffs. Being able to use wood that might be otherwise lost saves money! The segment continues with looks at installing the brass tubes and preparing the blanks for turning. Bushing kits, turning the decorative ring tenon and learning to size the wood correctly is next, followed by sanding tips to ready the wood for finishing.

The Finishing segment shows application of three different common finish materials and the use of CA glue as a base that enhances friction finishes. We also look at how I use the Beall Wood Buff system for finishing pens.

In the Assembly segment you walk through a hands on demonstration of pressing the pieces in correctly and getting the all-important mechanism set to the right depth.

Throughout Basic Pen Turning the tools and equipment commonly used are discussed and shown in use. Starting with the basic techniques and procedures we then added information to cover the most frequently asked questions on turning pens to present a simple but complete DVD that will get you going in an enjoyable part of the woodworking hobby.

Best of all, the Basic Pen Turning DVD costs only $11.50 which includes 1st Class USPS shipping within the United States!
