How It's Made - Ballpoint pens

Just saw this one on T.V and it had some neat stuff in it!

Looks like an air pressure collet system and a very cool spring winder!!!

My friend Ron makes super nice pens. I wrote a wizard for Mach3 for him to make them on a CNC sherline lathe. I don't think he can make them that fast, even with the wizard.

If he is Ron Grimes, he is giving one of the seminars and it is supposed to including pen making on Saturday! With the possibility of a repeat on Sunday.

Looking forward to his discussion on using the Sherline for pens. I have the wood turning rest, a small set of chisels and a couple bowl chucks for it.
