In this video I make a pen box from Teak. These pen boxes make excellent, extra gifts, to go with the pens I make. They are custom made to suit each pen individually.
Nice Box but would not recommend anyone using unsafe router table with no guards in sight or without using push blocks or sticks to feed wood with. You could easily lose a finger or two using your method.
what is the second grove used for, seemed to skip over that in the video. I have been making some for a Pen/Pencil/Letter Opener all in 1. Using a homemade CNC.
D. Reichert thanks for comment. The smaller slot is for storing ink refills. I did explain, at the start of the video, but yes i unfortunately didn’t get any footage of routing the smaller slot.
Janet Miller I use a small Chinese laser engraver, I bought off eBay, works really well. As for the font, at this moment, I have no idea, as it was done over a year ago, but there’s loads of fonts to choose from, in the laser programme, which comes with the laser.
I like the idea of the magnets as a latch. Very neat.
Nice box. Like the router work to crate the rebates
Stephen's 8x6 Workshop thankyou they work well. I think I'm a bit of a router hoarder as I have 4 routers now.
A beautiful box for a beautifully made pen.
Rag Tie thankyou. Really love making these. Especially when you see customers face when they open box to see pen for first time.
Nice box and well made Phil !
Cheers, Bram
Thanks Bram. much appreciated
I want to make it

How do you get the name on the box and what font is that? I like it.
