Awhile back I saw somewhere online a bandsaw pen blank cutting sled. It had a screw adjustment for blank size. Has anyone seen it and have a link for it? Simple to make but need reference pics.

I just use my crosscut sled and a stop block.

There is a article on the cover page at Penturner's.Org

Thanks Gary,
That is not the one I saw. The one I saw was similar but had more to it. I know someone will find it.

Lloyd,


Kip Christianson wrote a book entitled," Turning pens & Pencils.'
This is co-authored by Rex Burmingham & is a very easy to follow/understand
lay out of making pens,ect. This is a great way to understand & have a hands on, by following along. He shows step by step how to make the simplest, yet most acurate sled you can think of. Ive been using mine for a long time & it works great.
If you can spend around 20 buck-aroos, it is a great start to your woodworking library.
Hope this helps & happy turning.
John
