Lucky2 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Well Tony, at least you haven't been wasting your time, the pens look nice. I always enjoy seeing other items made from wood that members make, sometimes it inspires me. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Great looking pens, don't forget to keep your bushings labeled. I got mine all mixed up one day and had to measure them all to get them properly sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine all mixed up one day and had to measure them all to get them properly sorted. How do you label them, don't you wreck the label while turning the blank? I keep my bushings in a small multi pocket plastic container, one similar to the old Tupperware containers. Each set of bushings have their own section, and each section has a label that designates where the bushings go. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
