Gary, Are you dripping superglue down the inside of the kit before putting the tubes in? (Let dry after dripping the superglue, then, run a dowel w/ sandpaper, or a needle file if the pen tubes don't fit). Also, are you turning gently (light cuts)? I recentely bought a carbide turning tool (use like...

I have started turning pens with my Shopsmith. I have had good luck with a BLO/CA finish (four coats). I recently tried HUT Plastic Polish over the CA. It works great on tight-grained wood like Olive and Cherry, but when applied to open-grained wood (such as Oak, Bloodwood, and even dark woods, lik...

No backlog on PowerPro
I had an income tax overpayment that came back, sufficient to fund a refurbished PowerPro. No backlog. Called in an order, & it shipped that same day (!). Got it set up (without help, but with some serious grunting) in about 1.5 hrs (mostly, rigging some spacers to minimize risk of injury with m...

Gary, For doing laser-cut inlays, I would buy direct from the supplier. Not that I have issues with Rockler or Woodcraft or other resellers (I don't think), but I think I prefer buying direct from the small business. Kallenshaan Woods (who pioneered the laser-cut inlays for pens), or Lazerlinez are ...
