So, You Want to Turn a Pen: What You'll Need to Get Started
This book is a result of the significant research I did prior to turning my very first pen. And when I did turn my first pen, I did so from start to finish, with no interruptions for obtaining something that I missed in my research. The result was the creation of a beautiful writing instrument, all in one session.
Turning a pen is not difficult, especially if you have everything you need before you start. “So, You Want to Turn a Pen†identifies the “tools of the trade†needed for pen turning, through a discussion of each of the 8 steps in the pen-making process, from cutting your blank to size to assembling your turned barrels with the purchased hardware, also called a pen kit. When it comes to pen turning “tools of the tradeâ€, this book also identifies some of the options available to you. Sometimes, you’ll need some very specific tools, other times; you can use general woodworking tools.
