"Pen Testing" for Makers/Artists

Presented at PhreakNIC 23 (2019), Nov. 8, 2019, 4 p.m. (60 minutes)

This talk will consist of a discussion on how and why I got into the hobby of **Pen Turning**, and how the myth of **getting rich quick** from this hobby is a lie... The process "I" use to make a pen, Pen turning is an artform therefore the way I do it isn't the only way, or even the "correct" way. I will also touch on how to make your own pen blanks out of resin, which can be a hobby all of its own. We will briefly go over the differences in Ballpoints, Rollerballs, and Fountain Pens. Depending on logistics of equipment and permission to make a mess there may be a Demo.
