This class will occur during a single, 3-hour session. This class is appropriate for beginners and no prior experience is necessary. In this 3 hour class, students will be introduced to the 4 processes involved in turning a twist-type Slimline ball point pen. These processes include drilling 2 pen blanks and gluing brass tubes inside the blanks with epoxy, mounting the blanks with pen bushings in a pen mandrel on the lathe and turning the pen blanks to match the pen bushings, sanding and polishing the turned pen blanks, and, assembling the pen using a pen vice. Turning a pen blank requires good tool control and a delicate touch with the roughing gouge and attention to detail while sanding, polishing, and assembling the pen.
Each student will take home their assembled pen at the end of the class.
