Glue the pen blank to the waste block with a couple of small drops of super glue. Drill it then cut it free on the band saw. I use this method for dowels etc. and it works well. Good video.

You could try hot gluing the blank to the angled piece of wood and cutting it off after drilling. It wouldn't affect the finished pen since you are turning all of the glue residue off anyway.

I really like that idea. I'm sure with a little trial and error you can figure out where to put the pencils for the best effect. You should cut a grove in your waste block the with of your blank that will keep it from turning. Maybe make some different angle blocks 30° 60°?

also, try to use wood working drill bits weather they're the pointed variety, or screw point auger. you get better entry and usually don't burn the wood if using low speed. I am guilty of using jobber style metal drill bits because they're cheaper and convenient.

Great work Bob, Had I known you were turning one on the angle, I could of saved you some grief. I had all the same problems you did. On the angle jig. I did the same thing. I did take it one step further. I glued small pieces of wood on the outside perimeter of the jig and made one piece on the left and right side and one on the bottom, leaving the top open to slide the blank in. I set so a 3/4 blank just fits in and doesn't move. If I remember I cut the jig to a 30 degree angle. I can get more pencils in that way. Just throwin out ideas. Oh and CA holds the side pieces to the jig just fine.

Interesting! Guess that a lot of thinking has to go into doing this project. A strange question: A plummer friend gave me some left over Corian countertop scrap pcs. problem is it is 10mm thick. Not really thick enough except for a slim pen kit. Should I glue 4 pcs. together or just make a 10 cent pen like I have seen on KZitem? Ron toydoctor
