Great tutorial on Pen Making tools and techniques. Graphic training is easy to understand and remember. Gave me sufficient confidence to shape that $5 Pen Blank on my mini-lathe. And, its FREE!

Reviewer: Harold White (Beaverdam, VA)

I am embarrassed to admit this is the second time I have received this DVD. I thought this one might be different, but it was the same. From the first one I received I taught myself to make pens. I had never turned anything on a wood lathe in my life, but with this DVD I taught myself. I must have watched that thing a hundred times.

Reviewer: David Benedetti (Belchertown, MA)

I thought the DVD was great, wished there were other options on it, for instance basics of bowel turning. I also think a little more information on which lathe would fit the needs, and what type equipment, and tools are needed to perform these functions should of been mentioned, this would benefit both Penn, and the person learning the skill.
5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Extremely Helpful, 1.5.2010
Reviewer: Keith Boughey (Deltona, FL)

When I ordered this dvd I thought that it was going to be just another quick step through video. I was very surprised and grateful that it is in fact a very helpful and informative dvd. The instructor not only goes through every step thoroughly he also explains why you should or should not approach or implement cetain methods during the process. Had I not watched this dvd and just gone with the few downloaded video's that are available on the web I would have definitely messed up somewhere along the way. Overall this dvd is an extremely informative and helpful in depth aid to anyone considering taking up this aspect of turning. Great job Penn State for this excellent "FREE" dvd.

I had never tried pen making, so I needed all the help I could get. The DVD was extremely informative.

After watching twice, I was able to turn & finish several great looking pens on my first try. I would recommend this DVD to anyone that is just starting to turn pens.

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Pen making video (Warning....can be addictive!), 11.24.2009
Reviewer: Charles Fowler (King George, VA)

Did not think I would like making pens, but the video was free, so what the heck. They have almost become an obsession. Every scrap of interesting wood from my shop as well as my firewood stack has found its way into the making of a pen barrel. The video is well done, concise, and informative. It makes it look easy, which it actually is. Ten minutes to make a pen is the norm after only a few pens. Another five minutes (spread over a day) to apply four coats of rub on poly, and about a minute to assemble. Hope my friends like pens and pencil sets!

Reviewer: Billy Lamb (Walla Walla, WA)

I found the dvd to be a very helpful tool in learning the art of turning pen and pencil sets and assembling.The information on the tools and the use of tools in the way he showed how to hold and to move the tools for the wood turning makes it easier to get the right shape and contour of the pen blanks. Also the part to sharpen the tools to the right angles for the best performance of the tools.

Reviewer: Ray Ferguson (Gresham, OR)

First of all, I would like to thank you for sending me the free DVD. It's hard to beat that price. The instruction was excellent. Gary obviously has done this before, and was not just reading it off a script. All of the steps were covered in detail with explanations of why he was doing what he was doing. I have taken a pen turning class some time ago, but the live classroom instruction was not as good as Gary's. My compliments!

Also liked how the product names were mentioned and where they can be purchased. Thank you, Steve

The DVD was great! It answered a lot of my questions that I had about pen turning and it showed me some of the tools needed in order to start. It was well done and had great detail. I liked the way the DVD broke down the different stages of creating a pen. It showed close-ups when necessary and they helped to reinforce what the demonstrator was talking about. The demonstrator kept to the point, dialogue was well written, didn't get too wordy. Understandable, to the point, interesting. Thanks for a great DVD and I loved the price ;-). Ken

A wonderful, informative way to learn basic pen-making. The video is well planned and clearly shows the step-by-step process completely and accurately. All the tools and materials required are demonstrated. There are no "magic moments" that jump to a completed step, leaving the viewer with questions. From the video, I was able to identify all the necessary materials to order and, once receieved, turned my first simple slimline pen from start to finish within an hour.

I have been wanting to start into woodturning and pen making for quite a while, but was kind of afraid to jump into it. This DVD was really a great intro into the equipment, tools and type of supplies needed. It isn't a full course on pen making, but it will give anyone a good taste of what to expect if you jump into this as a hobby or a small business.

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Review of 'free' Pen making DVD, 9.2.2009
Reviewer: Bob DiCastro (Leominster, MA)

I am a wood crafts person who has a fairly complete shop and even a large (40”) lathe and have been interested in the Penn State Ind., products for over two years with a few false starts (wrong mandrel). The DVD is what convinced me I could do it - and I purchased the variable speed midi-lathe kit based on the video. The video DVD although not perfect – does do what the catalog cannot – show the practical side of creating a beautiful item from the shop in a short amount of time with some basic tools (but the correct tools!) . There is a bit of confusion when ordering – as the form specifies shipping cost is required, and it turns out it is not. I have made 5 pens/pencils now and look forward to making many more. The DVD is the best sales / marketing / illustrative resource you have!

High quality DVD. Can't beat it for the price! Since I am new to wood turning it provides a lot of basic information that helped me get started. I believe the DVD could be made better by including a little more on lathe safety and chisel holding techniques. It always helps to see an experienced craftsman actually use the equipment. I highly recommend it for all beginners.

I ordered your free DVD and the content motivated me to buy your starter package with the Turncrafter VS lathe. I have turned 4 pen and pencil sets since receiving my orders and am looking forward to expanding my adventure into challenges exceeding the ones presented by the slimline styles provided with the starter package. I am very satisfied with my introduction to pen and pencil making. Better information regarding dimensions of the different turning profiles is something I will be looking for in the near future.

Reviewer: Margaret Pecora (Montgomery Village, MD)

The main reason I wanted the DVD was to see the pen making process on the lathe from start to finish. The most complicated part to me that was omitted was that the demonstrator started turning the pen and did not show how to insert the mandrel into the chuck of the lathe and how to tighten it up. Also what tools are needed to do this and is it included in the kit. I would have liked to see this technical aspect before seeing the pen turning process. I would re-do the video and add this into the beginning and mention if instructions are included with the purchase of the lathe, since the video does not show this.

Reviewer: Dan Arnold (Canon City, CO)

The way the guy in the video shows how to make a pen is ok, for the bare basics, but I wouldn't do it that way. To start with He gets VERY heavy handed with his cuts. The way that he shows how to turn a piece down could be very dangerous! Most woods if you tried doing it that way, it would explode in your face. It's better to take your time and take several small cuts then to try to take a couple of heavy cuts. But, he does give you the basics on it. The pen that he ends up with I would be ashamed of if mine turned out like that. For some good videos on improving your turning techniques check out the ones on You Tube. Just do a search for videos on Pen Turning. There is a good set of 8 or 9 videos on Turning the Slim Line Pen. I would suggest these video's to anyone that is interested in turning pens. If you are new to turning wood &/or new to using a wood lathe PLEASE look into those other video's before doing it the way its shown on this video. The ColoradoHermit

I was very impressed with the speed at which the order was processed and the overall quality of the merchandise. I had never turned anything on a lathe before, but the first night I got my tools set up and completed two kits. My wife took the first pen I completed and she loves it. I really enjoyed making these kits! I have plans to make several more of your kits. The only real problem is deciding what to choose from the many choices you provide. Thanks again, you not only have you created another wood turner, but also a dedicated customer.
