re: Pen turning bushing storage and organization

Thanks guys. It’s a pretty simple design. I’m a big fan of making my own shop furniture and storage options. It’s a great way to test out ideas and finish schedules without it being an issue if it doesn’t come out quite right. 

Not gonna lie, the laser did a lot of the detail work for me…which is awesome. I did steal a little bit of the design from the Rockler style design, but their’s uses a split tip design. I thought about 3D printing it, but was worried about lateral stresses snapping the stems if I printed them vertically since they’re narrow, and maybe snapping the square top along a seam if I printed them horizontally. The Rockler design works fine for injection molding, but I didn’t see a good way to do it with a filament extrusion. Anyway, the wood model worked out ok! 

I’m looking forward to getting some of the new pen kits to try out too!
