Intro to Pen Turning 101

Turning a pen is relatively quick but big on reward. This class will expand your turning knowledge, and provide insight into why turning is such a rewarding hobby.

The pen making process begins with a discussion on lathe safety and lathe operation, followed by tool orientation. The instructor will work closely with students as they learn how to prepare the blanks for mounting and turning. This includes selecting, sawing, drilling, inserting brass tubes and milling the ends for flatness. The turning and finishing steps will be followed by pen assembly and will provide the students with beautiful pens to take home.
