] ) ] ), cuts as been made on table saw 1/2 way through the blank ( if you look Ron Mc as I done is X pen you will undrestand, but do not cut the blank in half ) let me explain the blank is 3/4 right? the hight of your table saw blade would be ?? ....................1/2 this size, if people read before Eagle posts they will see he use Reed vaccumm slide table and he do is own veneer as well, now if you read and look at is only tutorial you will notice that Eagle use a Diabolo blade so the inlay is the kef size of the blade, now he is the tricky part I think he turn around the blank to do the last cuts ( I mean 4 cuts 1 way (( let say side1,3,5,7 )), turn the blank over and do the last 4 cuts the other way (( let say side 2,4,6,8)), I may be wrong but is good to try, if you don't try you will never know[] ) SO........... let's give a try.]

Eagle would congratulate someone who DOES the same thing.
Having explained the technique you THINK he employed, once you try it, you will have to "iron out a few details". AT THAT POINT, you gain a greater respect for the finished pen.
GIVE IT A WHIRL!!!

If you have the strips, simply pile them up behind the blank on the sled. As you make each cut and turn the blank, remove one of the strips. As you remove the strips, you "advance" the blank by that given dimension. You now can make each cut exactly the same distance from the next while still keeping all cuts parallel to each other. Once you trun the blank, those cuts look round, instead of straight.
Don't ask me to try this right now as I can barely even walk into my garage, let alone work at my table saw.[
<edit for Gary> Gary, if you just posted to Cozee that we don't need what he wrote, why did you not take the previous poster to task the same way for posting his characterization?

] As Eagle would say, figure it out for yourself!! []
The portion of the statement I quoted is an inference that suggests Eagle would NOT congratulate someone who figures out how he produces something. More than that, you're following sentence of personal experience goes further to suggest that anyone who copies his method will receive harsh and abusive treatment. That is how I read what you wrote. And, that is something I believe an individual would want to defend themself over.

][][xx(], Thanks Lee to explain this, that would help members and to try this type of pen probebly with less cuts, I cut some veneer for a pen ( I will post it when finish ) I don't have table saw, I cut it with my drop saw here's the size
] this is not going on a pen, it’s just practice, the main thing is that it worked!

<br />Serge, that's an awfully thin cut for a drop saw! Just thinking about it scares me to death and I'm fearless! What ever you do, BE CAREFUL when making cuts like that![

Sorry to disagree with what you assume to be a matter of logic. IMHO it comes down to one's personal philosophy of what it means to help others advance their skills. It's the same old story that we've heard before ... this field has been furrowed before ...... I'm not interested in plowing it again. [
