    Acrylic Jr. Gents Pen - my first one

    Just thought I'd post this for your review. I got the blank at the Charlotte Woodworking show from Crafts Supplies. I really liked the pattern and color so I thought I'd try it out on a new pen kit (for me, it's new). This is a Jr. Gentlemen't Pen II. I really like it, it is a rollerball and...

    New Pen - 1st Time I've done Acrylic

    Well I thought it was time for me to try this Acrylic stuff. I've avoided using it because 1st I like wood and 2nd was not sure about getting all the marks out of it. All in all its pretty easy stuff to work with except for the smell, just remember to wet sand and use a polish (rubbing...

    Acrylic Cigar

    I made this for a friend of the family. She has trouble with her hands so a larger pen was called for. I think it turned out pretty well.

    Tried Acrylic

    Well, I finally decided I should at least try acrylic. Here is a WSII pen & pencil set I made for my brother. His b-day was Wednesday (which is when I got them in the mail:embaresse). They weren't bad, but not really my thing. Something new to my bag of tricks I guess!

    Acrylic Pen Blanks

    After a lot of pens made from wood, I'm now getting ready to start one with an acrylic blank. There's no accounting for taste as my DIL has decided she wants the acrylic over wood (which I strongly prefer). In cutting and drilling the blank she selected, I noticed it has a tendency to melt...

    Acrylic Turning Stock

    So where can you pick up acrylic turning stock that is larger than a pen blank. I would like to find rods or blocks up to 3" in diameter so that I can turn discs and whirls for top spindles.

    Acrylic pen blank???

    Yesterday I decided to try turning an acrylic pen blank for the first time. It turned easy, kind of messy with all the plastic strings flying everywhere. Finished the blank (actually two pens) with "One Step" plastic polish to a nice finish. After taking the blanks off the lathe and giving...

    Do you have to finish acrylic pens?

    Took a "spin" on some acrylics this Thanksgiving holiday and shined the up beautifully simply with the high grit sandpaper (12,000). The question now is ... do the acrylics require a finish? If so, what would it be?

    Finish for 100% acrylic latex paint

    I have made a small upstairs office in our house and now I'm in the final finishing stages. My question is in regard to the final finish for the bookcase and desks made of MDF, birch plywood, and poplar. Initially I applied a single coat of primer and have followed that with 8 coats of Behr 100%...

    Cracking problem with Fuhr 9550 & 9100 Waterbased Acrylic

    Well, I finished this project the beginning of June for my daughter. I just noticed yesterday morning that the two treads are starting to show small cracks along the grain on the top of each tread. I checked one of the test boards that is about the same size and it does not exhibit the...

    Acrylic pen

    Went into Woodcraft today to get their slow speed grinder that went on sale. (Yeah, that's a gloat) Well, I always browse up and down the rows and rows of neat stuff, but this time I had my son with me (3 years old). We stopped in front of the pen section, and he started looking at the...
