Drill Clamp
| This is the same type of clamp that I
use and demonstrate in my pen turning video. It is
very simple to use and I have used this type of clamp to
drill hundreds of pen blanks. The clamp is made from
hard poplar and will give you years of use if you don't abuse
it. Price is $14.95. You'll notice that I am
drilling over a piece of plywood. I do this to keep
the bottom of the pen blank from blowing out when the drill
exits the blank. I recommend the use of a wasteboard
when drilling any material. |

Mylands Finishing Products
Mylands
TM Friction
Polish
|
High Build Friction Polish
|
| There are three
popular ways of finishing with this product to produce stunning
results. Sand the turned item using a cloth backed abrasive to
at least 400grade quality. Apply the high build with a lint
free cotton cloth, lightly, whilst the item is turning.
Achieving the desired build may require stopping application
occasionally, lightly de-nibbing, and then continuing
application.
If the turned item is to be handled regularly then seal in
the friction polish with an additional application of a Carnauba
Wax Stick. This is applied with the lathe at high speed passing
from one end of the piece to the other, exerting minimal
pressure. Buff with a clean piece of cotton cloth. This can then
be handled for years, retaining the original look. |

applications of High Build Friction Polish and Melamine
Lacquer. It can also be used in conjunction with clear wax
polish to give a quick-dry low sheen, water resistant
finish. Apply Cellulose Sanding Sealer while the lathe is
stationary with a rag or brush. |

GORILLA GLUE
TM
|
This is the glue that I use for all my pens. It
gives you a long working time, cures in less than 24 hours, and
it's expandability fills all of the little nooks and crannies that
are found between the pen tube and the inside wall of your pen
blank. |
| |
| |
|
I highly recommend the use of Base Plate Wax when gluing
your tubes
with any type of glue. |
| |
|
 |
| |
|
Base plate wax is used to
plug the end of your pen tubes to keep any glue from entering
the tube. Use the tube like a cookie-cutter. It
works great! Each sheet of wax is priced at 30 cents each.
The number of tubes the wax will plug will be dependent on the
tube size and it keeps the inside of your tubes free of glue.
Works with Gorilla Glue TM, epoxy and
cyanoacrylate glues. |
