It's a cool pattern to be sure, but the problem is that the wax might melt during the curing process, or you might just end up with something really transparent.
I have made pens out of paper before. Usually it was when I only had an ink cartridge left in my pencil case. I rolled A4 paper around the ink cartridge and then taped it down at the end. Yours is a little fancier though I guess :p
lmao. thats exactly what i was thinking when i read the title of this video. those were the days man... in college I barely have any use for a pen with all this tech.
When I was younger I lived in an apartment complex where this guy was always gluing and pressing cardboard together then using that in the same way one would use wood to build furniture. I remember he made a giant dresser shaped like Gumby that had a fish tank built into it. Your work reminds me a lot of that period. The micarta technique is really cool and I think it would be a perfect fit for pressing skateboard decks. Try looking at some real decks in a skateshop and try making one with micarta. I think it could turn out really well.
I'd love to see this micarta turned on an angle, so you get more interesting color transitions. I get the feeling it might be difficult to turn, though.
I'm reminded of a frank howarth segmented bowl with a chevron pattern; how one section of the chevron pattern was made could be done with micarta for that angled look. (Of course, it can also be squared before being turned.)
An angle plate would allow drilling the blank at an angle. That would allow the blank to be turned on the bias, creating the color transitions you describe.
The gummy bear axe didn't work out because: 1. Resin itself just isn't strong enough (or at least I don't think so), and there were lots of pockets of nothing but resin 2. Gummies aren't a very strong material (that we can agree on) and they took up a lot of the volume of the handle, sometimes with not enough resin between them. Dirt and resin _could_ work somewhat like cement, if mixed together very well. Usually the smaller the particles, and the less space between them (filled with resin) the better, so it might just work. At least for the handle, the actual diggy bit made of dirt and resin probably wouldn't withstand the erosion of digging into dirt.
B0NEZ It sure might be doable as an object - but as a working tool for intended use, i doubt it. :) A shovel might have some actual structural rigidity if the dirt is supplemented or completely replaced with fibrous plant compost. But even then - as you mentioned - the lifetime would be short.
Mix in some plant fibers. A small shovel, like what you would use for potting plants, would be totally doable. Make the blade a bit thicker than usual, and it would be at least as good as the plastic garden shovels that you can buy. Maybe do this as a C-mas gift for Mrs. Brown.
Dear Peter, I have been following your channel for about a year, and i would like to say, you are one of my favorite you-tubers around. Your crafts amazes me in ways that i thought only a machine can do. Please, keep doing what you're doing. And i can't wait for your next project. Cheers! Amir (from Malaysia)
I love watching this channel laying in bed with no intent to move or make a sandwich let alone anything like this, but I just love it and find it so satisfying, I really don't why?! But I love your channel Peter, you're very good at all you do! 😊
A beautiful looking pen! I'd love to see something made out of glitter (or sequins) suspended in resin. The chunky kind of glitter that is fairly transparent (apart from a holographic/iridescent sheen) would look really cool I think :)
Peter Brown That would be neat. It would be pretty trippy on the eyes too. I wonder how well it would work if it was made thinner. I have a few projects in mind that I need some super thin material for (less than 1/8"). I may have to give it a whirl some time. Thanks for the inspiration.
Waylight Creations I know the relationship of micarta and scroll saw mainly from cutting selfmade circuitboards to shape. Those are typically 1.5mm thick but astonishingly sturdy. They also are not that expensive so maybe worth a try to test something easier to get than the selfmade stuff.
Peter, I've come to get so excited every time I see a new video from you in my feed. From someone who works in the 'high-fashion' clothing industry where everything I patternmake seems very disposable season to season, it's a pleasure to see you experiment with unique materials to create lasting products. Yet, your accepting attitude toward the often fallible nature of experimentation (things blowing up into hundreds of pieces) is quite inspiring - definitely motivating! It's very true that few things work first time, or last forever, but it is the excitement and the experience of experimentation that really matters! Stay creative, we love it.
You should make another pen/project where the layers of micarta are angled relative to the turning axis, so that you get more interesting patterns than just concentric circles. You could also purposefully deform the original sheet of micarta (like a wavy pattern or something) so that when you plane it, the layers of paper/whatever look like Damascus steel.
The thing is, I left a comment that semi-seriously asked to see him make a glitter blank, and given his reply, it sounds as though he's going to risk making one... eventually.
Thanks for the awesome videos. This might be an amazing way to get my daughters into wood turning. Using paper to make pens and other items. Have a blessed week.
That turned out awesome Peter! Great idea using micarta for a pen, never really heard of it before. Got me thinking of all kinds of projects that would be cool with that material
Yes!! I like your style :-) I think we'd have to come up with a really killer project where the differences in Alumilite and Epoxy/PR can be showcased a bit. That would be fun!
Watching your vids makes me so nostalgic for when I was younger and would watch woodcraft shows with my dad and grandpa. Keep up the good work my dude!
I would 100% purchase one of these. Fine work! Also, I may have a new material for you! I've been saving the foil wrappings from chocolate for a long time now hoping to find a project. I think you could do them justice.
i made my first pen yesterday, and its 100% because of this channel. the body is 3d printed then sanded to 12000 grit to make the plastic super shiny and pretty. ♥ i plan to make many more.
Peter Brown, I have been watching you for awhile and I really enjoy your content. I was wondering if you could do a project with a reflective surface for example a mirror.
Peter Brown Maybe something that is seasonal? I am British but I hear in America thanksgivings is coming up. However I do enjoy the home decor videos so maybe a picture fame and the fame be a mirror?
Serious moment... you actually made money from making pens?? I would have thought the cost of the pen kit and sanity of turning something that thin wouldn't have been outweighed enough by the profit?
I sold most of my pens between $20 - $60. I would go into local gift shops and sell 10 at a time to the shop owner with a holder. Then I would restock them as they sold them. I also sold bottle stoppers and boxes, but mostly pens.
Ooh! Ooh! I have an idea! Make a complete scrabble set (including the pieces, tile holder, and game board) out of the materials you use frequently like wood, resin, epoxy, micarta, polyurethane, etc.
those micarta shaings suspended in resin would make a really unique looking pen think- clear resin with rainbow micarta over the brass insert- AWESOME!!
it would! i would recommend maybe even getting a real skateboard to create a mould for laying up the micarta, that way you get a perfect tip and tail shape, as well as the horizontal concave of the board
Your a clever lad. I watched it, hoping it was something I could turn out myself on the kitchen table. No chance! I admire all the equipment. Keep up the good work.
Paper beads are so much fun to make! What kind of paper do you like to use the most? Which glue? I love using basic magazines and Mod Podge Gloss, especially magazines like Victoria or National Geographic because the pictures have such great vibrancy and there are more pages with pictures on them.
Hey, Peter. I really love your videos, and your dip it series inspired me to dip things in epoxy. I've been using it for about a year to make guitar picks and they work great. I'm using just simple universal resin, it's not quite that clear and pretty, but considering it needs to be extremely thin and still doesn't break, it works great. Thanks for all the stuff you do for us here,on youtube.
ouhh sorry I disturb you, I just want to learn to do something, if you have the time, I hope you do something with bubble gum .. if you can not do it, its okay ..
Hi Peter, i just wanted to thank you because i really enjoy your videos and ive been having a hard time lately and your videos are a good escape. I know you probably wont see my comment but i wanted to say I love your projects, and your humor, so keep doing what youre doing because i will be here watching!
Peter I absolutely love your work and I will never stop watching you because you have an excellent personality and excellent abilities. I have a request a pizza plate like the sprinkle and Oreo one made out of pizza in resin!
A wood pen was the first thing I've ever turned and that was in February, I have fallen in love with turning and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to see those "confetti" shavings turning into a knife handle!
That would be cool.
...ever heard of kiwami japan?
@@lilmelon5400 no
Recycle the shavings and put it in resin and make a cake cutter handle. Very festive. Or maybe a confetti wine bottle opener.
That's cool! YOu should try dipping Honey Comb in resin, and making some sort of knife scale. That would be so rad!
honey comb or a wasps nest would be cool. Very cool patterns
Create Something yoooooooooo that would be so so so cool
I agree omg!!
It's a cool pattern to be sure, but the problem is that the wax might melt during the curing process, or you might just end up with something really transparent.
imwithstupid086 ohhh thats a good point

I actually have no knowledge of woodworking or anything of the sort but I'm obsessed with these videos.
This is one of those videos where I thought "crap, I wish this was my idea"! Love it! Beautiful confetti and beautiful pen!
Thanks David! I'm just glad the mess was an easy cleanup this time!
Very nice project, i love micarta...

Please, keep doing what you're doing. And i can't wait for your next project.

Next Dip-It uses the micarta shavings. You must be over your resin budget by now.
YESSSSSSSSS
I am! But art resin sent me some to try out, so that will be next... :)
You should make something out of old vinyl records. My dad has a whole lot of old ones that he doesn't want if you need them
The vaccum sucking up all the strings while turning was awesome
I love watching this channel laying in bed with no intent to move or make a sandwich let alone anything like this, but I just love it and find it so satisfying, I really don't why?! But I love your channel Peter, you're very good at all you do! 😊
thank you Sian!
Sian Pursglove I see you like demolition ranch
A beautiful looking pen!
I'd love to see something made out of glitter (or sequins) suspended in resin. The chunky kind of glitter that is fairly transparent (apart from a holographic/iridescent sheen) would look really cool I think :)
it's surprising how beautiful paper can be. I love how you took something we usually make art on and turned it itself into a little piece of art.
Wow, micarta is really cool. Pen looks great. How well do you think sheets of that would do on the scroll saw?
It works but because it is so hard better take it slow. And use saw blades for metal.
Thanks for the advice.
I was planning on making a scroll saw project with the original blank. I think cutting it at a steep angle would look really cool.
Peter Brown That would be neat. It would be pretty trippy on the eyes too. I wonder how well it would work if it was made thinner. I have a few projects in mind that I need some super thin material for (less than 1/8"). I may have to give it a whirl some time. Thanks for the inspiration.

Oh baby! That close up shot was so smooth. Probably the most satisfying thing I've watched all week.
Awesome video as always! The little square pieces looked so satisfying for some reason.
Love these older videos
"Micarta is a fun material." he says as he remembers all of the pain and woe that went into creating the micarta blanks...
I find your videos absolutely delightful. I have watched every one for over a year, and you kindle my love of woodworking. Keep up the awesomeness.
make a pen out of (recycled) pens
WhoLock no make a pen out of pencils
or pencil out of pens
Penception
And then pen out of pen out of pen
@@YungDaggerYarak you're going too deep man! Be careful you might never come back
Love this concept! A pen, made from paper, for writing on paper! Genius! Keep up the awesome! Can't wait to see another Dip-it!
PLEASE make a clipboard out of the shavings and resin! That would be an outstanding combo.
I am bing watching your channel. I have no intention on making these things, just find the turning satisfying to watch. Love your creative ideas.
You could make Braille Skateboarding a set of wheels! You could pull that off easily too!!!! That would be awesome.
Really all we need in life is some epoxy and a lathe! Keep on the awesome work, Peter, you're inspiring.
Can we talk about how he got number 39 on trending! Nice job Peter!
Shoot, now that he's mainstream, quality's probably gonna go down ... sigh
quality has been down for a while... :)
Paul Vanukoff kkk
Love the new Rockler stuff!
didn't think the dust collection for the lathe would work so well!
This video speaks to me because my dad use to make a lot of pens before he got very sick I still have his drawer full of pens parts and blanks
sorry to hear that. Pen turning can be a lot of fun, it's super addicting.
I'm glad that such a beautiful project came out of a material that gave you so much trouble! Great job!
Turned out really neat!
no pun intended?
I’m not stalking you. I promise
Yet another wonderful colorful video. I clicked as soon as I saw the rainbow! : ) Thanks Peter!
So with all those kits, do you think you'll make a GLITTER pen?
Letting glitter loose in his workshop? I don't wish him that ill.
Glitter pen blanks are common, but in my opinion turn terribly
King Harkinian Not worth releasing the infection that is glitter, in other words.
The thing is, I left a comment that semi-seriously asked to see him make a glitter blank, and given his reply, it sounds as though he's going to risk making one... eventually.
AvenRox I've made one, but Im not same person from this video.
Thanks for the awesome videos. This might be an amazing way to get my daughters into wood turning. Using paper to make pens and other items. Have a blessed week.
That turned out awesome Peter! Great idea using micarta for a pen, never really heard of it before. Got me thinking of all kinds of projects that would be cool with that material
I think you would like this material a lot! A little tedious to make the blanks though...
Well, it's worth trying out for sure. I was thinking about going with denim for the layers
Wow, Zac Higgins and Peter Brown, my 2 favorite Dunk'in and Dip'in channels!! you guys should get together on a project.
Yes!! I like your style :-) I think we'd have to come up with a really killer project where the differences in Alumilite and Epoxy/PR can be showcased a bit. That would be fun!
Watching your vids makes me so nostalgic for when I was younger and would watch woodcraft shows with my dad and grandpa. Keep up the good work my dude!
Yo that little vacuum thing is lit
Nice job. The streamer coming off the pen going straight into the dust collector looks really cool.
I would 100% purchase one of these. Fine work! Also, I may have a new material for you! I've been saving the foil wrappings from chocolate for a long time now hoping to find a project. I think you could do them justice.

Peter Brown maybe a lamp or something?
Peter Brown Maybe something that is seasonal? I am British but I hear in America thanksgivings is coming up. However I do enjoy the home decor videos so maybe a picture fame and the fame be a mirror?
Marcus Octavius I like the idea of that.
A funneled lamp? mirrors turned in on the shade, like the reflectors on a headlight? focus and cast light upwards, rather than omnidirectionally?
I watch your videos because it's calming to watch you work on the spinning machine and you are just fun to watch :) I also love seeing what you make
Very cool project Peter. Puts me in mind of a stacked leather knife handle, perhaps stacked leather would make a good pen blank ! Cheers, Jim
I think leather would make a cool pen. And it should be easier to turn too!
Peter Brown was thinking the same thing myself as soon as I saw the stacked squares. should be easy to punch out using a a large punch die
Peter Brown was thinking the same thing myself as soon as I saw the stacked squares. should be easy to punch out using a a large punch die. great work
You should try a Milliput pen, now that would be cool!!
I love watching the sanding process and how gorgeous it gets x)
A candle holder with drilled holes to beam the light through, this could be a good idea for the lamps idea suggested.
Ive never really thought about how pen turning can be a thing, it looks really fun and I may have a go at making some pens myself!
Damn it Peter! I'm supposed to be fixing my toilet right now...
Sorry! Thanks for wasting time with me instead!
You are oh so totally welcome but next tine think of other peoples schedules before posting amazingly interesting content sir!!! :P
i have literally no idea what youre doing but your videos make me calm and help with anxiety so thank you!!
damnit saw this notification for this video clicked it immediately, I love your videos Peter
thank you Aden!
Aden Cox same as soon as I saw it!!
Peter Brown make a multi colour resent phone case
Peter Brown no Peter, thank you, if someone said I could only watch one channel, it would be yours.
mndi89 because you can make more money on TH-cam these days haha tv is dead
Peter, I have been binge watching your videos! I can't get enough of them, keep up the good work 👍👍😁
Can I borrow your pen?
May*
@@Griseb4nk your wright about that .
Mike Hostetler you’re*
@@Griseb4nk I also said wright instead of right.
Mike Hostetler yeah i know, i that much of a grammar nazi
Really glad your micarta "experimentation" is paying off! Beautiful pen
do a dip it with the shavings!!!
Jordan Smithson yess
Never going to make on myself but for some reason I found it enjoyable to watch you create one .
ALL TEH CONFETTI!
HA!
Serious moment... you actually made money from making pens?? I would have thought the cost of the pen kit and sanity of turning something that thin wouldn't have been outweighed enough by the profit?

Can I be of the economic class that can afford a $60 pen, please??
Ooh! Ooh! I have an idea! Make a complete scrabble set (including the pieces, tile holder, and game board) out of the materials you use frequently like wood, resin, epoxy, micarta, polyurethane, etc.
Would it be possible to make a pen out of a pineapple... and an apple?
Seriously, though, you could probably make some nice blanks out of oven-dried or freeze-dried fruit.
Nathan Ware omg yes plz make it plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz😭
Nathan Ware this has got to happen
christ
those micarta shaings suspended in resin would make a really unique looking pen think- clear resin with rainbow micarta over the brass insert- AWESOME!!
Hi. Just bought myself some west systems resin. What's the mixing ratio for it ? Doesn't say on the thing that comes with the kit I bought
You need the pumps! It makes it some much easier. Most places that sell the resin also sell the pumps. Then it's just one pump of each.
Peter Brown so 1:1 then :)
yep! 1:1 with the pumps
I would love to see more pens
your projects always turn out so amazingly
hey peter, you should try making another skateboard for the Braille channel, but out of micarta
I think a micarta skateboard would totally hold up!
Thats a nice idea :)
it would! i would recommend maybe even getting a real skateboard to create a mould for laying up the micarta, that way you get a perfect tip and tail shape, as well as the horizontal concave of the board
That is sooo awesome! I never knew you could do that with paper!
Now make a piece of paper out of old pens :^)
putting the vacuum behind while you're turning is genius!
Peter, did you see the pen that was made of cardboard? I saw it on Instructables a few weeks ago. Super cool!
I did see that. He posted it to reddit.com/r/turning. A place I frequent!
Peter Brown Great job and do you still sell them
so peter might be a really stupid question but would it be possible to turn glass
Your a clever lad. I watched it, hoping it was something I could turn out myself on the kitchen table. No chance! I admire all the equipment. Keep up the good work.
Dip it: a banana phone case.
Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring

I worked with resin for the first time the other day for a project! I definitely thought of your techniques while doing it! Thank you! :)
That's brilliant. It looks like a lollipop. And NO FAILURES?! What is happening!!
I love your safety shoes while you are turning! Very nice pen.
it'coming into Dec here in Ca, so I *might* have to switch to close toed shoes.... :)
Rick Dearmont 😂😂my bf does the same thing.
Funny, I started learning how to make paper beads a week ago!
The process is definitely different though.
Paper beads are so much fun to make! What kind of paper do you like to use the most? Which glue? I love using basic magazines and Mod Podge Gloss, especially magazines like Victoria or National Geographic because the pictures have such great vibrancy and there are more pages with pictures on them.
That's awesome! Micarta is such a great material can't wait to see your other projects using it!
What do you do with all your left over materials you don't use?
I put it all in a bankers box. That is honestly quite full right now...
Peter Brown You should do a video showing it and ask for project suggestions using some of them.
Hey, Peter. I really love your videos, and your dip it series inspired me to dip things in epoxy. I've been using it for about a year to make guitar picks and they work great. I'm using just simple universal resin, it's not quite that clear and pretty, but considering it needs to be extremely thin and still doesn't break, it works great. Thanks for all the stuff you do for us here,on youtube.
Hey peter, what about trying to deep an entire pizza, and make a plate out of it,,, and make it pepperoni of course!!!!
So satisfying watching the shavings going up the vacuum
can you make something with baby crystal ?? anything.. i really want see it.. and i want make it to ☺
I tired. They're too wet and the resin won't cure. Too bad...
ouhh sorry I disturb you, I just want to learn to do something, if you have the time, I hope you do something with bubble gum .. if you can not do it, its okay ..
You're not disturbing me! Fire away! :)
okay, i understand .. thanks
Hi Peter, i just wanted to thank you because i really enjoy your videos and ive been having a hard time lately and your videos are a good escape. I know you probably wont see my comment but i wanted to say I love your projects, and your humor, so keep doing what youre doing because i will be here watching!
can you make a sonic screwdriver, that works on screws, still?
Looks really nice with all those colours.
Can you make a pen pineapple apple pen?
Shinijon Kimi Good idea!
Out of what? Wood? Paper?
Ejje out of pineapple and- WAIT FOR IT!- apple
Shinijon Kimi That would actually make sense, EXCCEEPPTTTTTTT they'd go rotten, unless they like freeze in resin or something.
+Ejje you sir deserve a cookie!
tht turned out so so good! I can tell how happy u r w/the success of this project & u should be!!! great job Peter 😎😁😜
Hey Peter, what's your monthly resin budget?
I spend about $40 a month on resin.
Pretty healthy habit there...er...
1ucasvb probably 3/4 of his income
Peter I absolutely love your work and I will never stop watching you because you have an excellent personality and excellent abilities. I have a request a pizza plate like the sprinkle and Oreo one made out of pizza in resin!
Making a pen out of paper plus with tons other different material that you need
There is a steep curve for getting into pen turning. So many specialized tools...
Man it's so retro looking!
Rockler should carry some cardstock for your viewers and as a joke. XD
haha! That would be awesome...
A wood pen was the first thing I've ever turned and that was in February, I have fallen in love with turning and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.
Make a pen pineapple apple pen
Imagine paper thin layers of dried apple and pineapple epoxied together and made into a pen. XDDDD
That is absolutely awesome. I love ink pens of all kinds. Thank you for sharing your awesome talents.
Has Peter dipped flowers yet?
I dipped a dandelion. Does that count?
+Peter Brown I was thinking more like roses and colourful stuff but dandilions will do. thank for replying. love your videos!
A project incorporating colorful petals would be cool. Maybe a vase? :)
Zofia Kaminski That would be so cool and beautiful:)
Micarta with jeans as a basic looks super amazing
make something out of the confetti please
like a coaster
Myah Chambers I think a clipboard would make for an awesome combo.
Myah Chambers love the micarta clipboard dip it idea!
or a dip it pen stand with the confetti
make the squares 4" and cut on an angle of 10 deg and that would be an awesome look. thought the ends would blow out , great job Peter!
