Nice looking pen. I am new to turning and have not even made a pen yet. I have ruined quite a few drill bits. Thanks for making these videos as I learn a lot from them.

+Braeden Walton Part of your request I can answer now. Those yellow things are magnets. Very handy, bur a little expensive. See magswitch.com.au/product/magswitch-magjig-150/
You know if that was in a pen shop it would probably sell for a LOT of money. What an amazing finish. Perfect! You're going to end up costing me a lot of money Ron! First the tablesaw, then a Laguna bandsaw and now a lathe. Where will it all end?? lol Cheers
Nice pen and the video makes it clear how to assemble a Sierra kit. Thanks.

For me it has more or less ended --- except for replacing ruined drill bits that is. LOL
Do you sell your pens or you just make them for fun?
Nope, I don't sell anything I make. Just a hobby. Thanks for asking :)
They are all very nice, congratulations!... and you are too funny! :-p
Nice pen good job

Ron, when you say it's "monkey wood" do you mean monkeypod (albizia saman)?
Yes :)
or do you mean Araucaria araucana .?
