My pen!

Today I am working on a pen here are all the things i did!

  1. I had to use a ruler and draw kind of straight lines from corner to corner with a ruler to determine the middle so I could drill a hole through the two planks.
  2. Then I used the pen kit that Doc gave me I took out the two brass tubes in it I used super glue to cover the brass tubes in glue I put the brass tubes in the holes in the middle of the planks.
  3. It was supposed to be a 30 minute wait but it kept being sticky every time I pick it up so I had to postpone it ’till after lunch.
  4. after that we used the drill to drill through the out side a bit then I used the lathe to make the rest of the outside a bit more thin first I used the rougher to make it thin then I used the finisher to make it a bit more smoother then I sanded it just to smooth it more i used a vacuum and a mask so I would not breathe in the wood dust.
  5. Then I used some clean finish so could finish it off then all i have to do now is wait!
  6. Okay! It was worth the wait! All i had to do was remove the pen parts from the lathe and boom! All i have to do now is get all the parts and use the pen press!
  7. Okay! I got the pen pieces and i used the pen press and pressed the pieces together and its done!
  8. okay this is the moment of truth I grabbed a piece of paper and… it worked! i am so happy any way that is the end of my blog post so goodbye!
