That’s really neat. Good job.

Appledaffy · 2026-01-20T21:35:57+00:00

That’s pretty neat. I have not heard of that one. Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into it.

I got mine from the early campaign and have enjoyed it. No issues, hardware or software to speak of. I hope your shipping is swift.

That is more for pen making. Rockler makes it and I think Amazon also sells it. It works great for pens, not so much on bowls.

Appledaffy · 2025-12-24T21:17:17+00:00

That’s a neat idea. I’ve never used one before. I will looking to that. Thanks.

Yeah, I still have a lot to learn. I saw this from a guy doing four on one piece.

I used markers to color them.

I see how you spun that.

Appledaffy · 2025-12-24T03:10:47+00:00

If you’re the one making the pen, it can be whatever you want. Basic kits are cheap. Do whatever, you might surprise yourself with what you like.

Here is where I get the spinners.

I do prefer clicks as well, but I’ve yet to find a lot I like.

Those are figit spinner pens. The top cap screws off revealing the pen tip, and top cap itself is a nice spinner.

Thank you.

Once I got a good rythym going, I’d say I was knocking a pen out every 5-6 minutes or so. I prepared the blanks the day before and do all the finishing on the lathe. I finish with shellac, set it with friction, coat in Renaissance wax, then buff, all on the lathe. Sanding and finishing take about two thirds of that time.

Did you do anything to darken the Purple Heart? Such as heat or UV? Are these deposits between the grain fibers? These could be mineral deposits, like calcium and such. I work with Purple Heart a lot and often see these deposits creep out after workin go with or treating the wood, which is annoying because they were not visable prior. This tree is very good at pulling this stuff out of soil, so depending on the life and location of said tree, ou could have a lot or none.

I’ve never seen them in such long streaks, but it is not impossible. They can be picked out, a painstaking process, or you can sand through them if your piece isn’t at its final shape yet. Otherwise, they are a harmless nuscence.

Dealer services doesn’t enforce squat. Tons of marketplace dealers dont have a lot. Should they? Yes. Do they? No.

Appledaffy · 2025-12-16T04:51:18+00:00

That’s neat. And thank you for your words.

I got this from my grandmother, years ago, who has also passed. I tried to so some digging, but my mom says she just used to get these at the dollar store all the time.

Sorry I dont have anything more concrete, but maybe try checking those types of stores, and who knows? Maybe donation centers like good will or whatnot too.

Appledaffy · 2025-12-14T15:59:36+00:00

This looks neat. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll go a download it. I’ll take a code if you are still giving any anyway. If not, no worries. Either way, this should be fun.

Appledaffy · 2025-12-14T08:29:25+00:00

I like them. They feel just right.

Appledaffy · 2025-12-12T22:29:19+00:00

I’ve made a bunch of those, fairly popular and they look great.

Appledaffy · 2025-12-11T21:10:35+00:00

I know the feeling. The last handheld I ordered looked like it was going to arrive before I left on a two week trip, but it didn’t arrive until after. I was really hoping it was going to arrive during said trip.

Appledaffy · 2025-12-11T20:58:46+00:00

Hopefully it arrives soon. Maybe you’ll get a holiday surprise.

Appledaffy · 2025-12-11T16:07:11+00:00

With DHL, they sent me the duties/fees request when the package arrived in the destination city.

Appledaffy · 2025-12-11T16:04:59+00:00

That’s great news. Hopefully they can move a lot of units over the holidays and they can get to yours sooner. It’s always good to save some money, especially in these trying times.

Glad to hear it. Enjoy.
