10 Minutes To Better Pen Making - Steam Punk Penny Blank - Mark Dreyer

Pen making is more than just pen turning. In this video we look at creating our own blank – a steam punk blank. We look at adding embedded objects like a crushed penny or watch part gears. Different backgrounds can be used – carbon fiber or decals. This is just the start … In this series of videos, I plan to take individual topics and explore them and discuss them 10 minutes at a time. I will use my 25 years as a pen maker to give tips and tricks on the topic. Each topic will only be 10 minutes. We will explore everything from kit and blank selection, to drilling, to turning and turning tools, finishing, and marketing and sales. If there is a topic you would like to see discussed, please leave me a comment. Thanks. Here are the links to the things I used.
