A stunning pen John and ergonomic too! I thought you was going to turn a trapped ring on the pen when you was shaping the bead near the top of the pen! But a beautiful figure in the oak, thanks for sharing. Cheers Andy
Go by a music store that services guitars and they probably give or sell you a set of uses guitar strings, The work GREAT for burning and provide different sizes for different widths burns... John D in Tennessee
The pen turned out really nice, top job, I really enjoyed watching it take shape. Would mounting your copper wire in an old hacksaw handle help save your fingers from burns?
Much more economical than kits and we are not locked in. We can be as creative as we wish. John, is it difficult replacing the refills by using small pliers?
If you have a long enough 5/32" bit they go in and come out easily with fingers. If the hole is only 1/8" then you will need pliers. The pens are usually lost before they run out of ink. :)
A roughing gouge is a concave shape, the same thickness from side to side. Think of a wide skew chisel ground square and bent over a piece of pipe. A spindle gouge is made of round bar with a channel ground out of it. It is thicker in the center of the edge, and the sides are much thinner. I don't own a roughing gouge. I prefer to rough with a skew. I hope my explanation makes sense.

The skew is my favorite and most used tool because it's so versatile. Any tool will work but I'm used to reaching for a skew first. On very small coves I use a spindle gouge.
Nice work with the devils can opener. Very experienced hands. Fun to watch. Excellent work sir.
This was a beautiful work of art. You sir are a master of the lathe, IMHO
Man you are Good! I really enjoyed watching you make that. And I learned so much. You see I just bought a lathe. And I know how hard that is.
nice to see a pen made without elaborate kits im gonna try that one day too. thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks again for watching. This kind of pen allows our creativity to show better than kit pens, in my opinion.
Great job. It`s a pleasure to watch a master at work. You use your tools like you know what you are doing. Thanks
Thank you very much, Morgan. :)
Very nice and creative.

Your an artist.Thanks
Awesome Job! Love the design. Will have to try one myself soon.
Thank you, Zack! These are more fun than kit pens.
Beautiful!! Definitely more economical than ordering all the pen parts to make a pen
Thank you. :) This kind of pen also allows more creative freedom than a kit pen.
Thank you for the video love the shape I must have a go myself ,
Thanks Mark
You're welcome. Thank you for watching.
Nice piece, I'll have to try some of these. Thanks.
Thank you, Phil. :)
ink will stop flowing in a day or 2 without an air inlet above the refill, apart from that very nicely done
Why don't you use a geartar string it is a lot better. I love your work it's vrty good .
keep rewatching this and decided you deserve more than a like mate the wood could write now, LOL

+Robert Nun'ya, thank you for watching. :)
Great job,what type refill and how to change it?
The pen turned out really nice, top job, I really enjoyed watching it take shape.
Would mounting your copper wire in an old hacksaw handle help save your fingers from burns?
Thank you. :) Yes. A hacksaw handle would have been much better.

Roundabout, you got to be a Harley guy?
Nice job
Robert Mccarver Thank you.
Nice job! Thanx
Thank you. :-)
Is there a difference between a rouging gouge and a spindle gouge?
A roughing gouge is a concave shape, the same thickness from side to side. Think of a wide skew chisel ground square and bent over a piece of pipe. A spindle gouge is made of round bar with a channel ground out of it. It is thicker in the center of the edge, and the sides are much thinner. I don't own a roughing gouge. I prefer to rough with a skew. I hope my explanation makes sense.
Great video! Great pen!
Thank you, Lester. :)
nice job!! you used shellac finish?

very nice
what kind of wire do you use in 13:50 ?
It's a piece of copper wire.
Any wire works. It’s best to have a bit of a dowel on each end of the wire - the dowel won’t heat up.
why only use the skew chissel?
The skew is my favorite and most used tool because it's so versatile. Any tool will work but I'm used to reaching for a skew first. On very small coves I use a spindle gouge.
You’ll never get the ink out. Too tight
