Casting pen blanks

[Donny Lawson]

Is there any Tutorials on casting your own pen blanks?,like for the watch and feather pens. The Ivory pen is very nice also. The pens I've seen here lately are a work of art and I would love to learn how to do this. I wish someone lived close enough so I could watch. I need a step by step process and whatever equipment might be needed.

I don't know of any step by step video guides, but there are several tutorials on casting in the IAP library. I've never done any of it, but I get the impression that it's not that difficult if you have the pressure pot and molds. Some of the feather blanks and snake skins are quite stunning, and I think they're considerably harder to get right.

Yup IAP, International Assc. of Penturners, has a ton of tutorials as others above have said.

there are several different videos about casting blanks on youtube. Just do a search on "casting pen blanks" and you will see many. Grub32 does some nice detailed ones.

But I agree with all above: IAP is the place to be for pen stuff.
