Beaufort Ink Pen Kits - woodturnerscatalog.com/collections/pen-kits?filter.p.vendor=Beaufort+Ink
In this video, we are doing a deep dive into the incredibly smart lineup of Beaufort Ink pen kits to show you exactly what makes them a massive step up for custom pen makers. If you've ever felt the frustration of a gritty, cheap twist mechanism, or are tired of cheap plating that wears off too quickly, these are the premium kits you've been waiting for.
What We cover in This Video:
The Beaufort Lineup: A close-up, side-by-side look at the Tempest, Sirocco, Headwind, Cyclone, Zephyr, Leveche, and the flagship Mistral.
We head over to the lathe to turn a Sirocco kit using a stunning Blackbeard’s Bloom Diamondcast blank. I’ll share my exact techniques for drilling on center, prepping brass tubes, and scraping acrylic with a negative-rake skew.
How to get a glass-like, scratch-free finish using Micro Magic.
Why Beaufort's pre-chamfered brass tubes are a total game-changer for fragile, expensive materials.
How "turn-between-center" ready bushings eliminate mandrel flex, and why those tiny wear grooves are the best indicator that it’s time for a replacement.
Want to see us turn a custom cabochon and center band for the Mistral kit? Let me know in the comments! If enough of you want to see it, we will shoot that video next.
