    So here is a crazy funky video for you folks. I used a paisley pattern handkerchief to make a really funky pen. I haven't made a pen for years so I thought this would be a good video for you all. I also spend a bit of time showing you how I made this in case you wanted to try this at home. Hope you like it . Please Subscribe if you do and leave a comment. thank you x

      I would like to see you do something like the wood shavings in resin you did a while ago but with coffee used grinds set in resin. I'd like to see that done in a vacuum chamber instead of a pressure pot. I think that would look nice

      @Ginger Banks seriously? He's one man, experimenting with something new, and you expect a production line?

    As a professional seamstress and resin artist I have the most important hint for you Nick. Get any fabric that you want to use wet. That is what it is going to look like in resin. SOME will stay lighter by small amounts if you spray it with several light coats of matt clear spray paint first.
    ALWAYS test a small piece before going for the big one.
    Love you and your sense of humor and love for your family. I always smile when you post and I always enjoy your videos and projects no matter the outcome because NO ONE has perfect results and it's so encouraging to see that someone who has skills and all the tools can make mistakes BUT can make something out of the mistakes that can become a pretty cool project in the end.

    I’ll be looking forward to see, what you’ll be doing with all the shavings. Because that pen looks cool .
    Again, what about making a lampshade. I think, that it’ll look so funky with loads of colour and textures from the resin, and whatever you put into it. Again great work 🍻

    I think it’s come out smashing. I am glad I haven’t added this to my hobby list… I’d be making funkadelic pens 24/7. I was thinking one made like a galactic space swirl, or just neon swirls, or metallic swirls, or Orbee embedded…. Or… I need to lay down until this passes. Lovely work as always Nick.

    @sarahkwast1250 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your creativity is so inspiring! Don't feel guilty for doing small projects. Those are easier for beginners or people with limited time to try for themselves. Big projects are also AWESOME, don't get me wrong. But varying your projects allows you to reach and inspire people at any experience level. 😊

  • @ja-canadian5451
    @ja-canadian5451 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Those screws holding the pen mold together are Robinson screws, they looked to be size 8 Robinson (aka Red Robs because the handles were colour coded to the size).
    That type of screw was invented in Canada and is very common here. They are way less likely to round out than the USA style Phillips screws.
    I used to wire houses with my Dad and when he got a Fixture that was made in the USA that used Phillips head screws (star head) he would throw away the Phillips screws and use Robinson screws as he felt they are way better.

    My sister and I used to make pens and pencils a lot with our Dad back when he was healthy enough to do stuff out of the garage. He had two wood lathes. A full sized and a mini. Loved making stuff on them. I found it so easy and so much fun. Too bad I lost the lathe my Dad got me when we had to move into an apartment, but now I'm not well enough to stand long enough to make anything on one.

    YAY, YOU’RE BACK! That pen would fit my arthritic hands perfectly! Much easier to hold onto and control. Truly enjoyed the waffle and energy. You’ve come a long way since your last pen blank videos. Would it work better if you rolled up the material instead of cutting it up? Seems like the brighter colors would stay together more and the layering as you turned it would be interesting too.

    Love watching your adventures into making things. They're always weirdly fun and so entertaining as well as offering a wealth of instrumental instructions so we can try it on our own. I don't have any of the tools you have (drooling over your tool barn) but the information you pass on is invaluable and has given me some ideas for a few future projects. I hope to be getting one of the projects started over this winter. Thanks for all the wonderful fun and inspiration you've given me since I started watching you. Happy creating and enjoy the journey to creating your master pieces!

    Thanks Nick. I haven’t made a pen for a couple years And hope to get back to it when i get a little stronger. Spent the last couple years in and out of the hospital with a couple medical problems. It was great to see it done again. Again thanks for sharing. As for the blank areas inside, just learn to paint your tubes before glueing them in the blanks. Do them a dark grey or even black. the small holes should be filled with CA. And sanded and polished as you finish the pen. Nice job on the pen. It’s a great looking pen!

    To avoid the gold look: after you scuff the tube, rub either a complementary paint or the tinting powders you use into the scuffs and when you add the super glue it should set it. I'd practice first to make sure the powders didn't make the glue dry to fast.

    Pretty cool 😎 little project! You asked in the beginning of the video on how we were doing and I must say not good. I live in Oklahoma, USA 🇺🇸 and we are having to endure phenomenally high temperatures 🌡 For over 2 months now our daily temps have been on average btw 103°F - 113°F & higher ➕ plus add in the heat index 🥵🔥🥵 and not a single drop of rain 🌧😢 I just got a weather warning that the temperatures for the next 2wks will be record breaking highs of 115-120°F 😢🥵🔥🥵 and still no rain 🌧 People, plants & animals are dying here in Oklahoma 😢🔥🥵🔥😢

    The idea is a good one and the pen came out wonderfully, i love the kaleidoscope kind of effect it has developed with this method. It almost certainly looks amazing out in the sunlight, those shavings were pretty awesome too and i'd like to see them in a project used like confetti frozen in the resin
    😄👍

  • @Brad_R_LiveFit
    @Brad_R_LiveFit ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Sometimes getting back to a simpler project is a nice break and brings as much joy and/or sense of accomplishment as the larger, more involved ones. When I turn pens or handles it becomes an almost meditative process and leaves me feeling relaxed and accomplished.
    That's a sharp looking pen, Nick. Though darker than expected, the handkerchief still adds flashes of bright color as you roll the pen and look at it from different angles. Well done! 👍👍👏👏

  • @SandyMasquith
    @SandyMasquith ปีที่แล้ว

    Just got a new lathe. I haven't done a pen in ages! I used to really enjoy that. Thanks for reminding me. I love the way that one turned out. Although I agree it turned out a tad bit darker than I would've expected, it is still a beauty.

    I enjoy all your fabric makes. They always come out cool. With cotton fabrics, try giving them a wash in some very warm water before using them. It will let some of the extra dye come off the fabric so it doesn't bleed quite so much in the resin.

    Hey Mr. Zammeti, just watched an interesting video on resin pouring and preventing thermal cracking. The gentleman used a slow set epoxy and placed it in a refrigerator to cure. He was pouring 8 to 10 gallons of resin at a time up to a foot deep with no thermal distortion or cracking. The drawback was it did take the resin almost a week to fully cure and you do have to degas the resin in a vacuum chamber before pouring. A small office fridge would probably do the trick.

    Nick, since you asked for ideas, on March 31 you put colors in resin to make stripes. I was thinking if you did the same stripes in a semi thin layer of resin, cut the resin into smallish river cobble sizes, and then you could semi-round over the edges. Take the pieces and put them into a rock polisher to give the pieces a good smooth river cobble shape. Once they are polished, you can then encapsulate them into a turning block for a bowel, vase, or some kind of dish. The rock polisher could then go to Charly if he's interested.

    Thanks for the video, Nick! It was a fun little project. I like these just as much as the big projects.

    Nick, you don't have to do huge items all the time. I like the little items too. Plus, little items are faster projects, which means more often videos.
    As for the ribbons that you created doing this project, it would be nice if you did another ribbons vase. Nothing wasted, right?

    I love how it looks! Dark, yes. But the details up close are super cool.

    This is a really cool pen I really like it. You are very clever and one of my favourite wood turners. I bet you will make something cool out of the shavings as they are awesome. The pen is really lovely and I love your banter.Well done Nick x

    I’m coming back to live in the UK after over 20yrs living abroad and will most definitely be checking out the pen kits and Katie’s work as I’m wanting to start my own shop once I’m back.
    As always, excellent work Nick that pen looks beautiful.
