 Pens
From the Wood Lathe
Step-by-Step Instructions for the
Wood Turner
Dick Sing
ISBN 0887409393
Schiffer Publishing, 1996
From the Publisher Pens and pencils made at the wood lathe
are becoming increasingly popular. These unique writing instruments
are fantastic sellers at art and craft shows, cherished treasures
for family, and fabulous gifts. Kits to make a variety of styles are
widely available, but the techniques to make a pen which works well
and looks spectacular are harder to find. This book fills the need
with 273 step-by-step color photos and helpful text. Skilled wood
turner Dick Sing provides detailed instructions and a wealth of tips
and techniques for twelve different styles of pens. Advice on selection
of materials, set-up, turning, and finishing techniques, and tips
for final assembly of the pens make this book the ultimate reference
for the field. |

 Dick
Sing ReTurns
Unique and Unusual Pens from the Wood Lathe
Dick Sing
ISBN 0764303597
Schiffer Publishing, 1997
From the Publisher Once again, Dick Sing makes his mark with
his high quality, beautiful pens and pencils. Sharing his skill and
expertise at the wood lathe, he teaches you how to make something
more than a mere instrument for writing--this is art, a keepsake,
a great gift, something to make the turner proud. In his first book
on pen turning, Sing provided basic instructions and lots of helpful
tips. This book also provides the basics, adding new kinds of pens
and variations on some of the old favorites. Tips are given for ways
to work with challenging materials or grain alignments to create spectacular
results. Dick details methods which make beautiful pens time after
time. More than 260 photographs and detailed instructions advise the
turner on more than a dozen variations, plus there are sections on
the special equipment he has modified to make pen turning easier and
improve the quality. A gallery of pens provides inspiration for variety
and creativity. |

 Turning
Pens & Pencils
Kip Christensen, Rex Burningham
ISBN 1861081006
Sterling Publishing, 2000
From the Publisher Here is the definitive guide to fashioning
writing instruments, with superb photography that goes close-up and
clarifies every procedure so you can select the one that's best for
your abilities and tools. Turning pens and pencils is a quick, fun,
and inexpensive way to express your creativity and design sense. The
equipment is minimal (a lathe and little more) but the possibilities
are many: there are ones that twist or click, a European-style pen,
a tapered rollerball, fountain pens, and numerous variations. Work
freehand, or try an alternative that combines a router and lathe;
ornamental milling, or using a jeweler's lathe. Tips and tricks reveal
which jigs and fittings increase efficiency. Bonus: an impressive
gallery of finished items. |

 Turning
Pens and Desk Accessories
Mike Cripps
ISBN 0764300512
Schiffer Publishing, 1996
From the Publisher Fifty years ago, the fountain pen was an
expensive, and very personal, prized possession. Once deposed by mass
produced ball points, the fountain pen is making an elegant return
through the wood turner's art. Michael Cripps takes the reader through
every step necessary to create elegant pens (fountain and ball point
alike) with turned hardwood outer surfaces in a variety of shapes
and sizes. Each step is illustrated from the turner's perspective
with detailed color photographs. Additional instructions are provided
for creating desk accessories including letter openers and magnifying
glasses with beautiful hardwood handles. Ladies' pens and perfume
applicators round out the text. A gallery provides a view of the finished
products. This book is wonderful for turners of all skill levels.
