That is the nicest Celtic Knot I have seen Huw.
Very beautiful pen my friend!
Take care,
Gary
Hi Gary, I saw this comment when it came through and it has taken me this time in working out how to reply.
For you to say that, is just amazing. You know I consider you to be the best person to go to for advice on segmenting.
This was quite a simple process and design to do.
The end result depended on the accuracy of the cuts.
I have to admit, with pride, I nailed it on this one.
I will be doing a Triple Celtic Knot in the New Year, again something I have done before but never nailed it so wish me luck.
Sorry Gary, I've rambled on enough so will end with a huge thank you.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
let me be the first to say that's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Hi Ruben, BRILLIANT!!!!!!! Thanks so much Ruben. I hadn't thought of that. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

Hi Vitaliy, Thank you so much my friend. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Nicely done, Huw!
Thank you Billy. Cheers Huw
I Love It Huw! I Love The Title Too Bud... Very Clever👍 Emma Is Deserving, Beautiful Gift My Friend.
Hi Steve, Thank you very much my friend. The title came to me when I finished the pen as I thought "That is practically perfect" and Mary Poppins, the original, is one of my all time favourite films. Emma has helped my channel out a lot so I thought it would be a nice way to say thank you. Take care Steve. Cheers, Huw
Great work Huw as allways love the design thanks for sharing 👍
Hi Phillip, Thanks very much. Really glad you like it. Take care. Cheers Huw
Love it love it love it mate ! Can't wait to have a go myself now lol
Hi Dan. This is one of my favourite pens I have made. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Hi Huw...lucky Emma...really nice work...stay safe...press 😎...Joe
Hi RFWW, Thank you very much. I hope Emma likes it. She is a superb turner in her own right and is actually registered as a Professional Turner. Thanks again and take care. Cheers, Huw
Mighty clever Huw, love this design! Brilliant. All the best. Ray
Hi Ray, Thank you so much. I am so, so happy with how this came out. Take care Ray. Cheers, Huw
That is one beautiful pen Huw. Love it! Have a great day my friend.
Hi Randy, Thank you very much my friend. When is your next video up? Take care. Cheers, Huw PS Congratulations on 100 Subs!!
@@WoodenItBeNice I hope to have another video up soon. I ran into some technical problems. Thanks for asking Huw.
@@awesomecarsforever Looking forward to it Randy.
Hi Huw... that's a really beautiful pen... the double Celtic knot could not have been any better... great work and great video ... take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Hi Andy, Thank you very much. I'm really pleased with the Celtic Knots in this pen. This is the best double knot I have made. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Never made a double Celtic Knot, I guess I'm going to have to make one. Nice pen, Huw. Have a good day, Bill.
Hi Bill, Thank you so much for watching the video, I appreciate it. I have only ever done Double and Triple Celtic Knots Pens (30, 45 and 60 Degree) using a band saw.
I don't think it would work on a table saw as the kerf is too wide and all the inserts would just "melt" together.
I think it would work very well on something like a Rolling Pin.
I would love to know what you think.
Thanks again Bill.
Take care.
Cheers, Huw
That looks amazing, Huw! You’re right, everything lines up perfectly, and that’s no easy task. I like it a lot. 👍🏻Mike
Hi Mike, I am so pleased with the intersections. It is the best one I have done. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Great video Huw! I have often wondered how you get all the sections in the right place! Very well demonstrated, great angles of all the cuts too! Thanks for sharing, all the best mate!👍
Hi Pog, Thank you very much indeed. I really like making Celtic Knot Pens. The sled and a stop block are the secrets to getting the cuts in the right place. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Super pen Huw.
When the world is upside down, the best thing to do is "turn" with it: Mary Poppins.
Hi Midnight, Very true and to be honest I hadn't remembered that. So pleased you like the pen as well. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Very nice Huw! It’s difficult to get the rings perfect with all the steps that need to be done to complete a Celtic knot, but one inside another? Quite an undertaking, and very well done!
Hi Mert, Thanks so much my friend. As I said in the video I have done this before but this is the first time it came out perfectly. You should give it a go as well. Take care Mert. Cheers, Huw
I like that something called a Mary Poppins pen is illustrated with the Ride of the Valkyries! I must have missed something in that story. And then some Grant Greene-style funk - phew! All that and some really splendid wood turning too? Well, how can this day get any better? Great job all round Huw. A very happy Christmas to you all and see you in 2021.
Hi Mark, They cut the Ride of the Valkyries out of both films, honest. LOL. Thanks for your kind words as always Mark and the same to you and yours. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
I have recently started learning to do these and it's a great feeling when everything lines up as planned.
That is a beautiful pen you have there sir! Fantastic work!
Diolch yn fawr iawn. Thank you very much. This one is probably the best one I have made to date.
Would love to see some of your examples.
Take care Gwydd.
Hwyl,
Huw
Very good idea & execution the way you did that inlay. Inspirational, except I don't have a bandsaw.
But maybe I'll think of something. Thanks for sharing Huw!
Hi Leo, They can be cut by hand using a miter box or similar with a depth stop to stop the cut going through the whole blank but it is fiddly. Take care Leo. Are you interested in a challenge? Daniel from Tournage Dubois has organised one starting in . Each month for the whole of 2021 a new challenge. Cheers, Huw
Perfect measuring, Huw👌Preparing blank tooks much, much more time than turning and finishing so it is more as woodworking than woodturning 😁 Great work my friend.
Hi Rav, You are right. I turned the blank in 3 minutes and 5 seconds. The blank too about 4 hours in total. Take care my friend and thanks once again. Cheers, Huw
Great looking pen Huw! The intersections looked perfect, thanks for sharing with us!!
Hi Bruce, Thank you brother. I'm over the moon with how the intersections came out. Just goes to prove, measure 3 million times and cut once works. LOL. Take care Bruce. Cheers, Huw
Huw, that is absolutely gorgeous! Those rings are absolutely perfect, I’m sure Emma will love it!
Looking forward to your next video!
Hi Seth, Thank you very much. Emma's partner, Roy, is not very well at the moment so she hasn't seen it yet. I'm so pleased with how the rings came out I must admit. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Excellent work Huw, I may give that one a try next year if you don't mind mate.
Take care
Conor
Hi Conor, Thank you very much. Be my guest. If you do make one I would build a sled first to make accurate cutting easier. Take care Conor. Cheers, Huw
@@WoodenItBeNice ill do that Huw, cheers 🍻
@@ConorMakes 👍
Great work on a perfectly executed design, Huw! Love it.
I only found your channel yesterday and watched a few of your videos. Very nice router work.
Rod's channel has been an inspiration to me. Huw
Hi Rod, Thank you so much my friend. It was a nice relaxing build for me, especially after last weeks pen. Take care Rod and I hope your thumb is still improving or better still fully recovered. Cheers, Huw
Yet another masterpiece👍👍
@@spindlesworkshop9744 Thank you Luie. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Very nice pen Huw 😊 I need to stay away from watching turning videos to prevent the urge to switch on the lathe 😂 I know once I start that nothing else will be getting done. I've still never made a pen from a kit and every time I see a video I want to give it go 😊 ॐ
Hi Yogi, Thank you very much. Just go for for it, as regards pen making. A word of warning it is addictive and you will always want to take it a stage further. I would love to see tour first pen. I still have mine. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Very cool pen. Love the knot. It came out beautifully. 1 question, is the double veneer the same thickness as the kerf of your bandsaw blade? That has been my holdup for attempting this process. Guess I need to go get some veneer and het to it.
Hi Doug, Thank you very much. Yes the two layers are the same thickness as the kerf on my bandsaw blade. If you only put one piece of veneer in the cut the knots won't align properly. Don't ask how I found that out. LOL. Hope you have success with making them. A sled makes accurate cutting much easier, rather than using a miter slide. Take care Doug. Cheers, Huw
Love the pen it looks great. I use a wood sanding paste instead of sanding pads now. I feel I get a better result, give it a try sometime. I see your over 700 subs congrats.
Hi Gary, Thanks very much. 700+ I'm so pleased. What wood sanding paste do you use? Take care Gary. Cheers, Huw
@@WoodenItBeNice I use Acks because it is easy to get here in the states, but I'm sure Yorkshire grit would work as well. I tend to sand through the CA finish with the pads and then have to start over, and the paste is faster.
Hi Gary, I use YG and some form of finish if I'm not doing a CA finish. After applying CA I never sand back I only use Micromesh Pads and have never had an issue with taking the CA off. Hope this helps. I wold like to try Acks at some point, but is it so expensive here in the UK I can't justify the expense as YG works well for me. Cheers, Huw
Amazing work as always, my friend!!! This kind of work continues to blow my mind, and I know I will learn a lot from you during our monthly challenges next year!!! #YTCCC2021
Hi Daniel, Thanks very much my friend. This is quite a simple process, honestly. The secret is to have an accurate sled so the cuts will be where hey should be. One other tip, measure four times cut once. LOL. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw. #YTCCC2021
Another lovely pen Huw 👍🏻 I noticed you used carbide tools on the pen, is there a benefit to use them above traditional tools? I’ve got some carbides but I just don’t get along with them especially the round ones I get some wonderful catches 🤣. Keep well Cheers Steve
Hi Steve, Thank you very much. When I first started turning pens I used a skew. When I started segmenting I bought the carbide (over 2 years ago) I used in this video. The trick with carbides is very high speed, I normally turn at around 2300 to 2500 RPM, light cuts and keep the carbide at 90 degrees to the piece (parallel to the bed) and at center height.
I was amazed at the pattern...but then I saw that you just wrote on the sanding pads with marker! My mind was blown! Theres no issues with the marker ink? It works perfect?
Hi Rob, Thank you very much my friend. I did the marking about a year ago, with a black permanent marker, and have not had a single issue with them marking any pen I have used them on. I am really pleased with how this one came out. Take care Rob. Cheers, Huw. #YTCCC2021
Good video, shame about the music, it would be better telling us what to do.
Hi Joseph, Thank for taking the time to comment. I'm glad you liked the video but sorry you didn't like the music.
Music on videos seems to have a love/hate reaction from viewers.
Take care Joseph. Cheers, Huw
Explain as you go. Cut out the damn music and tell us what you're doing. We all should know how to finish a pen and how to put it together. What we (I) need are the directions.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Steve.
This video was made nearly 3 years ago and if you have watched any of my more recent video you will notice a distinct lack of music.
I have made a few videos which go into more detail on how to cut the blank to get the Celtic Knot effect and this is one of the links; th-cam.com/video/I6gtjWQaaUQ/w-d-xo.html
I fully understand that some people may already know how to finish and assemble a pen but it is not always the case and I try to show the full process of making a pen to accommodate for people's differing skill and experience levels.
Hope you find the video informative.
Take care Steve.
Cheers, Huw
