Turn Your Pen Blank Cut Offs Into New Blanks
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มี.ค. 2018
- I had a bunch of cut offs left over from the Honor Flight pen turning event that my turners club held. They were just to nice to waist so I decided to glue them up and make some interesting segmented pen blanks.

Bob

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.
Thank you,
It was my pleasure.
Regards,
Bob
I think that over the years, that I have watched all of your videos. This is just another fine example of why you are a Master pen maker. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
Thank you Jon,
I appreciate that. I’d rather just be the shop next door where everybody’s hangs out. That would be cool.
Regards,
Bob
That has turned out really good. Being a veteran myself I appreciate what you have done Bob. Thanks.
Thank you for your service Mike.

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!
Thank you for your service. It was the least I could to and it was truly my pleasure.
Regards,
Bob
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.
Thank you Levi,
Regards,
Bob
I would have loved one, but obviously I’m too late to the game, but, you do have a new follower! Love your idea of handing the outcome to a random vet! Thank you four supporting us vets!
Thank you Bruce,
It was my pleasure. Thank you for your service.
Regards,

I want one!!! I am relatively new wood turner. I’ve made about 20 pens so far. I would LOVE to do this project, and turn a blank for a vet! Very cool idea to say thank you to our veterans all over the country.
Thank you Bradley,

Great job on the leftovers Bob. What a great looking pen! Would be honored to get one of those blanks to make for a veteran!
Thank you Terry,

That's an awesome pen and idea, Bob! It looks like you have plenty of volunteers, but if I get lucky enough to turn one, I'd gladly give it to a vet!
Thank you Robert,
You’re entered.
Regards,
Bob
Super idea. Have been saving pieces also for the same purpose. I like how you put them together with the CA and the tube. Probably will do the same with a 7mm slimline pen
Thank you David.
Regards,
Bob
Hey Bob. Wish I had seen this back when you made those blanks. I know several Vets that would have loved a pen. Still a cool looking pen and an idea for me to turn. Still getting my shop setup and doing my chemo treatments but I have some ides for some pens. Take care my friend.
Thank you Joel,
You take care too buddy.
Regards,
Bob
Man that’s awesome I would love to have one but waiting for my lathe but I rather someone who is not a veteran, do it, I’m a vet also I was in our volunteer fire department for 24 years and 17 years as a Police Officer but my lathe will soon been in my little shop and can’t wait to start turning. Thank you and all the people helped you for honoring our veterans god bless you.
Thank you for your service as a military veteran, police veteran and veteran fire fighter.
Regards,
Bob
Love the blanks and the idea behind them! As the son of a AF veteran I am deeply moved by the idea. I live in eastern NM home of Cannon AFB special operations base. I would love to receive one of your blanks and give it to someone that would be much appreciated by it. Thanks Bob for the great videos.
Thank you Nick,
I’ve already given them away. You can still turn one on your and pass it along to a veteran. I’m challenging everyone to do that.
Regards,
Bob
I want one please. I think that looks great you done a great job. I think what your club did was fantastic. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Donald,
You’re entered.
Regards,
Bob
Great idea, and a very nice pen.
Thank you Dennis.
Regards,
Bob
Sure wish I'd seen this video in time to get one of your blanks!! But because of your idea! I turned a red white and blue pen last night and i will carry it until i bump into a vet and it will be given to them!!!
That is awesome John! Thank you for making one of your own and for honoring a vet.

Bob

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.
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.
Thank you for your service.
Regards,
Bob
Thank you for all you do. I thought she might have a little wrong. Have a good day!
10/10. I tried this with Acrylic cut off's. Came out awesome just like your's. Great video, thank you.
Thank you.
This is a great way to use up all those cut offs and to make some really cool blanks.
Regards,
Bob
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.
I agree, cobbling something together from parts and pieces it a blast.
Regards,
Bob
Thanks
Just wandering about it seams like a great ideal for the lath
Also fantastic ideal for the vets
Thank you Kenny.
Regards,
Bob
Oh I would live one and easy to give to a vet, even if I don't look in the mirror. I am 25 minutes from ft Campbell and still know several people out there. Love your videos and I have learned a lot thanks Bob
Thank you Bert,

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
Thank you, I think it’s awesome you jumped right in and started turning.
Regards,
Bob
Sounds great... count me in!!!
Thank you Scott, you’re in.

Bob
Excellent idea Bob, we can’t thank our veterans enough for the sacrifices they’ve made for our freedoms. I want one. Thank you for all the great content, I’ve learned tons watching your videos.

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.
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.

Bob
That's a great idea, I want one!

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.
LOL, everyone does that at least once even if the don’t admit it. 😃
Nice job Bob. I want one.
Thank you John, you’re in.

Bob
I want one Bob. I've got the perfect person in mind, he's served 3 tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and we are now friends and work colleagues for the Western Australia Fire Service.

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 :-)
Thank you. I love saying thank you to our veterans, I appreciate what they’ve done for and sacrificed for our country.
