I Made a REALLY BAD Pen | Turning Tuesday #3

A few of you have suggested that I try make a pen as it makes a great beginners project for the lathe. But seeing as I have previously made a pen I decided to challenge myself by using Black Palm; a notoriously difficult material to work, new Skew techniques, and a superglue finish.

It didn’t go well.

How to saw CORRECTLY

Getting your saw started in the cut, square across the width, and tracking along a line is a common difficulty for beginners. In this video I’ll show you techniques that I used myself in order to make my cuts as accurate as possible.

If you want more information on what saws to use, consider watching my video ‘What saws do you NEED’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pigcI…

In this video, I’ll be showing you how to cut a bridle joint entirely by hand, no power tools what so ever! This woodworking joint looks beautiful when finished due to the contrasting end grain and long grain and is a great addition to your woodworking skillset!
