Is pen making too easy?
I don't mean to offend anyone by this post but I'm not sure
I understand the driving force behind pen making. The reason I am posting is that I was given an old lathe a month or so ago and I've about got it ready to run again. I was wanted to make a simple gift for the person who gave me the lathe. I was ordering some centers and noticed a pen making kit. I ordered the kit but I question the value of the gift. (only as a craftsman looking at my own work not the monetary value) To me it seems that anyone who gets this kit is going to end up with the same pen (assuming an equal skill level). There are only so many ways you can shape it and make it feel good in the hand. You basically finish them all the same way. The blanks are what you get. The only variable I see it the wood or plastic you choose for the blank, then after that, a machine could have done it. So why do you guys make pens? Am I missing something? ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |
