    A little late, but just wanted to say how much I appreciate your recognition of our veterans. What a great idea to make a special pen and pass on to a veteran. I am just getting started in pen turning, but will make it a point to make a pen just to give to a vet. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I realize that this is an older video but your idea of giving to the vets is a great one. I didn’t serve but my father in law and both of my boys have. I appreciate the freedoms that their sacrifice affords me. Well done Bob.

    I know its an old video, but I've just seen it. I absolutely love the "give away to a vet" plug. I am a 20yr Navy vet and things like this mean the world to me. Thanks again!

    Great pen from Honor Flight cutoffs and a beautiful finish. As a 29 year vet, I want to thank you for doing that. My daughter who does all my shopping these days said she saw you at the Garland Rockler store yesterday but you were teaching a class and she didn't want to bother you.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Paul,
      Don’t tell her this but that wasn’t me. I was at work in Indiana all day yesterday. I wish I was at Rockler teaching a class.

    I know this video is old. At this point it appears to be five years old. Just like most Americans, I know that veterans have given a lot, have sacrificed a lot, and basically when someone signs up for the military, they have increased their odds of dying at an earlier age than they would have otherwise. My main point is that I want to thank you for reminding me what a huge sacrifice both veterans and their families make and have made to protect all of us. I also think it’s awesome that you were doing something concrete to show your thanks, and multiplying that gift of thanks in such a creative manner.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Scot,
      I know of many people who have made pens because of this video and given them to veterans. I’m thankful for what I have and wanted to show my appreciation.

    RJB. Went to large screen and figured it out. Thank you.

  • @woodfreak814
    @woodfreak814 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just a few questions. Sanding with the metal bushes on, usually, in my experience, ends up with the metal from the bushings bleeding into the grain of the wood. Therefore leaving a darker grey circle at the ends. Applying CA to the blanks with the metal bushings still on would leave it stuck firmly to the bushings.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  ปีที่แล้ว

      Just place if a thin coat of C/A as a sanding sealer won’t usually glue the bushings to the lathe. If it does, tap the bushing on the lather bed and it will come lose.

    I to make pens. Have been for over 25 years. I finally glued my thumb to a blank. CA glue dribbled down onto it and I did not notice. Note to self: keep plenty on the Uncure fluid around and it is great to have the wife help un-stick the blank...after she stops laughing.

    Hey Bob,
    Shoot man, I missed the give away by a million hour jaja. I've been carving wood signs for two years now and got interested in pen turning to the point that in less than 24 hours of planning, I bought everything I needed to start turning. It's been a week since I started turning pens and I'm getting the hang of it.
    Thanks for the videos.
    Ohh and I'll be on the lookout for the next give away, my boss is veteran.
    Thanks

    • @RJBWoodTurner

    Love making pens like this. I also use my Slimline pen kits that have left over pieces. Gold nib, copper collar, chrome clip, etc. My wife calls them Leftovers. lol Really good for when you want to turn for fun/practice and don't have any full blanks.

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree, cobbling something together from parts and pieces it a blast.

    I noticed the c a on the white bushings, how did you separate from the wood? thanks

    • @RJBWoodTurner
      @RJBWoodTurner  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Tom,
      I pull the blank to the end of the mandrel and allow the bushing to hang over. A little downward pressure and the bushing will release.
      There will be a rough edge on the blank so I go back to the belt sander and use my sanding jig to remove it.
      Occasionally I put the bushings on the mandrel and use a skew to clean them off.
      Regards,
      Bob

    Hello Bob. I know the give away is over. However if you EVER decide to do this again, I would be extremely humble and honored to receive one. I am a veteran and I love this idea. I recently attended "Women Veteran's Working in Corrections" and met so many amazing female veterans. I would love to have something from you to take the next time I attend. Of course I would be making a few myself :-)

    • @RJBWoodTurner
