Sedona Pen Kit made with Gemstone Blank

Sedona Rollerball Pen Kit

This is a silver plated rollerball pen kit. I used a Turquoise with black web Gemstone blank. I am please with how it turn

ed out. The Gemstome black was easy to drill and easy to turn. There are a little on the expensive side $8.99 per blank, but in this case well worth the

money. The blank was finished using micro mesh sanding pads up to 32000 grit. I then used a light coat of wax. This makes a great pen.

Mini lathe project, Garden Dibble

GARDEN DIBBLE

This is an easy spindle turning project. A dibble is a tool used by a gardener to make holes to plant seeds, bulbs or small plants. I started with a pieces of white oak. You could use maple, ash or any hardwood.

I started with a piece of wood 1 1/2" square and 12" long. I used a roughing gouge to get the piece round.

I them used my skew to finish the project. I turned 1" knob on the end, then a 4" handle. The pointed end is marked at 1" intervals to show how deep you are making the hole.

This one can make up to a 4" deep hole. One I completed the turning, I used sand paper to smooth out the project, them completed it with a couple of coats of wipe on poly.

This is a quick easy project, any gardener would love.
