exactly yes... :)Do you mean incorporating rings eg. aluminium into the blank???
This way seems hard. I think this works for only one ring (thin or not) but when I want to add 2 rings or more, its getting harder to do it. I think I will just make one ring about 5 mm wide.. for adding this, I will shave my resin from 16 mm to 14 mm... then I will add the chrome ring which is 16/14. Then I will turn my resin from 18 to 16. Being same with the ring, and polish... I think this will work for one ring.Eğer önceden tornalanmış bir boşluğa (bir boruya değil) alüminyum halkalar eklemek istiyorsanız, o zaman bir masa testeresinde keserken daha dikkatli olmak dışında aşağıdakileri yapardım.
Delinmiş bir boşlukla başlıyorsanız, eşit mesafeyi korumak için bir durdurma bloğu kullanarak halkanın yerleştirilmesini istediğiniz yeri kesin.
Parçaların aynı sırayla değiştirilebilmesi için boşluğu işaretlediğinizden emin olun. Boşluğu, önceden delinmiş ve aşındırılmış alüminyumu ekleyerek, 2 parçalı epoksi kullanarak borunun üzerine yerleştirin.
Umarım yardımcı olur.
Herşey gönlünce olsun.
Hi from down under, thanks for setting up this forum. I'll have to wait for my younger, computer-savvy housemate to show me how to use this properly. I saw one of your pens on Pinterest, and googled you & ended up here :)Do you mean incorporating rings eg. aluminium into the blank???
Thanks for that Pierre, I thought I was replying to Alan, as the 1st pic is his pen. The 2nd pic is one I made at the beginning of the craft & is only 'cheeks' on 2 sides cut with a hole saw .Hi Colin and welcome to the forum. The pictures that you show are indeed formed like a standard Celtic knot, all that changes is the angle of the cut and the type of wood that is inserted into the cut. In the case of your first picture it looks like there are 3 layers (all glued together)inserted into the main blank prior to turning at a more oblique angle to the standard 45 degrees. The essential bits are that each piece is inserted at the same angle and the second is the precision of drilling the hole into the blank.
enjoy your surfing around the forum you will find that everyone has advice to offer. And they enjoy the discussions.
Indeed. Colin, the first pen is mine.I saw one of your pens on Pinterest, and googled you & ended up here :)
This is the 1 I love & would like to try with your blessing & advice please? Is it like 1 of my early pens, & then you keep going aka Celtic knot? I'll keep trying to navigate my way around here too.
