Euro Screw Cap Pen from Todd

16 years ago


I got an email the other day from Todd O up in Minnesota. Todd took up the challenge of my audience participation turning project put forth in episode 9 and made his very own Euro Screw Cap pen.

Shannon,

I finally was able to turn my pen (pictures attached). I made it out of ebony, sanded to 2400 grit, then finished with EEE-Ultra shine paste wax, and Mylands friction polish with a final coat of paste wax. Thanks for putting out such a great show I look forward to your next turning project.

Thanks again,

Todd O

Richfield, MN

Here are some more pictures of Todd’s glorious creation:

Thanks for sharing Todd and keep up the great work. Ebony is one of my favorite woods to turn and pens are small enough to allow me to do it without breaking the bank!

So how about the rest of you listeners out there. I know you are turning so let’s see what you have made.

Shannon,

Nice work on the Tansu. I like the design.

Interesting…I usually chamfer the end grain first and hen go to the long grain so that any tearout is removed. However, as I think about it, it seems that both methods will work!

You did scare me a little when rebating the stopped groves for the back at the table saw. I’m a bit leery of small pieces like that with my hand so close to the blade – maybe hand tools or the router table with a hand screw/clamp to hold the piece as you move it past the cutter?
