Shadetree Woodworking Thanks, I hadn't actually seen Plaustrum Crafts's video on doing it, but he does it the *right* way by using a bandsaw. Much finer result. The knot I did I think would look better on larger pens (ie JR Gent and larger I think) rather than slim/streamlines
Probably correct, but I still think yours looks great. It definitely seemed like your approach was easier, for some reason. I also liked your sled idea for the cuts.
+Tom Wilcox Thanks! Last week I was putting together the new website and rediscovered the video - one of my favourite, very quick projects. I think I might have to try it again, but perhaps on the bandsaw to make the knot even finer.
Hi Paul, i have noticed that you just have to be a smidge out when drilling and the blank is ruined. I am trying to work out a sled type jig that will allow me to use the pre drilled holes to true up the blanks before i cut the slots on the bandsaw, cheers Dave
Paul, great video. Thanks for posting. Question though. In the beginning you cut 3 dark and 2 light inserts. I only saw you glue in 2 of the dark inserts. What happened to the 3rd?
One can also get a thin kerf table saw blade - you can even insert a smaller 4 or 5 inch blade with an ultra thin kerf into a table saw if all you need to cut is about an inch thick........
You'll get a different result depending on the angle, the key is just to be consistent throughout. To answer directly, no, it doesn't matter what angle you use. I went for 45°(ish). Flatter (closer to 90°) would result in a compressed knot which would give a poorer result, imo, if you're using a table saw technique - too large a kerf. If you go the other way, it'd elongate it, which could look really nice. I wonder if that'd weaken it any more than 45°.
Depends on where you are. Woodcraft, Rockler, Amazon in the US, or in Australia, Timberbits, Carbatec, PopsShed. If you're elsewhere, you those sellers all post.
Beautiful pen Paul, great job on the video too.
Отличная работа!
Carl Jacobson Thanks! Shellawax goes a long way to making things look pretty! ;)
I saw Plaustrum Crafts do this and have wanted to every since. Seeing yours, makes me want to again. Nice looking pen.

Very nice design and a lovely pen.
Thanks

Awesome! Great looking pen.
CMR Woodworks Thanks!
Really enjoyed it. Thanks for your time and effort.

That is awesome. Well done.
Peter McDonald Thanks!
Excellent job!

I'm bad at counting and cut an extra one by mistake :D
In the end it was two of each colour, but for some reason unknown to even me, I cut extras.
Hi Paul what angle do you use for celtic knot thank
Hi! Wonderfoul Pen.
amazing.. thanks paul.
TheJohdu Thanks!

does it matter what angle you cut the blank at to accept the contrasting pieces for the knot?

Where are buying parts to the pen ? Thanks
Depends on where you are. Woodcraft, Rockler, Amazon in the US, or in Australia, Timberbits, Carbatec, PopsShed. If you're elsewhere, you those sellers all post.
where did you get that font from?
cool:D
Well I still don't understand. You cut 3 dark brown pieces and 2 light brown. You seen to indert just 4 in all. I can't see it.
+Robert Lavoie I cut one extra that wasn't used.
Thanks buddy. Now I see. Thanks for answering so quickly.
