re: Pen Making
Glad you started this Pottzy! I will show my set up as soon as I get back into my shop. I think this great!
I'll start....
I make about 200 pens a year.....about 4 of those segmented....I am now pouring most of my acrylic and 196 of those are acrylic...I have three lathes one of which is a metal lathe.....in case you are unaware metal lathes are awesome to do a bunch of things for pens on. I have a 18/36 Lagaua for shaping the body, and I have a Rikon midi with a Beall buff permanently on it. The pressure pot is a California Air. I just got into casting just this year. I built my own TS sled for segmenting. My segmenting is mostly wood and then finished with glu boost. I get most of my supplies from Exotic Blanks....they are awesome. What about others what do you use and make?
