Well, I guess when this subject came up, something went off in my warped mind, so last night I timed myself making the pen below:
<br />
It took 23 minutes from mounting on the lathe to adding hardware.
Most of the motivation was to prove that I am not just talking (or typing). I really do make pens, quickly, out of even the "less-forgiving" plastics. It CAN be done!!! By YOU!!! After lots of practice!!
Please take this in the spirit it is presented - KEEP trying to turn plastics, as your technique improves, YOU can make pens FASTER!!!
Acrylester is not forgiving - BUT, it makes a PRETTY pen!!!
Hope this HELPS, Pipes!!!!
I can do it :O) I just think its a PITA is all and I agree it only takes about 30 minutes . here is 2 I done today [
