In this video we revisit one of our first ever recycled plastic projects - pens! We figured it was time for a 2.0 version, since we've learnt a LOT about recycled plastic since then. And we also figured this would be a good opportunity to come up with a few other ways to make pens. So we've come up with 3 ways to tackle this, each with their own pros and cons. This video is a culmination of about 2 years of experience and research, so we really hope you gain something from this!
If you'd like to purchase the 'expert' pens we showed you how to make in this video, then check out our current stock of our 'Vita' pens at brothersmake.com/shop/p/pens. Please bear in mind that we only make these in small batches at a time so there may not always be colours in stock. Feel free to sign up to our mailing list using the link above to be notified of all pen drops.
The cheaper pen kits we used in this video came from Axminster, and the stainless steel Pratchett pen kit came from Taylors Mirfield. We will also be selling our pen blanks very soon, so you can have a go at making your own!

I'm so happy to have found your channel. I had an idea for a recycled plastic shipping box (your welcome to use the idea you're obviously the pros). I discovered your channel while looking for methods on how to do this. I had no idea recycled plastic could be so pretty. It reminds me of when I got into soap making. Have you considered using a rolling pin wrapped with a silicone sheet for pressing out the plastic. I never done it. I have no idea what you'll get but I do know that you can use hardware store 100% silicone to fuse silicone pieces together. Thank you guys, your my new favorite channel.

FYI, having made a few pens... check the "fit" of the mechanism before you call it "good". The reason is that if you've not ground the blank perfectly to the tube, the fit will be different. Compress the twist mechanism, insert and screw in the ink, and then twist to be sure the ink comes out of the end of the nib sufficiently. If it barely shows, you need to push the mechanism in a little further (and I mean A LITTLE). If it won't contract fully when "un-twisted", then you'll have to pull the mechanism out a bit, which is a trick and usually requires special equipment. You can do it with pliers but that doesn't work out very well. I know. I've tried. Always try the twist mechanism before you continue on. Don't assume it's correct. The process could be way more efficient if you cut off most of the waste before turning. If you know the final dimension of the pen ends (because you have the bushings to go from), then you can cut accordingly. For making slimlines, I cut to within a quarter of an inch of the tube on all 4 sides on the bandsaw. Doesn't have to be perfect. it will round out on the lathe. You can refine further if you want to take the time to sand it round, but this just takes time and you get nothing out of it. A slimline pen bushing is about 9mm or so, with the exterior of the brass tube being 7mm. Cut the corners of the blank down to about 15 mm and that gives you plenty to work with. This also gives plenty of room for fancy stuff like bevels and inlays or whatever. If you cut off the waste in one big chunk, it's easier to recycle later. If your tools are catching and stop the blank, then you don't have the live edge part of the mandrel (or the right end) tight enough. Just take it a quarter of a turn and try again. Repeat until there's no catch.

It depends on what scale of air pockets you’re talking about.. microscopic? Possibly. But for this process, the large air pockets are what you’re worried about, and this process removes all of those.

Just for the benefit of those who do not have a drill press, you can use either the lathe or a vice as a pen press. Thanks for the update as it reminded me that I intended to recycle the panini machine in the back of the kitchen cabinet which was only destined for the graveyard in the loft. I am a user of Taylors Mirfield and can also highly endorse them. Keep up the good work.

Just a thought on an intermediate molding process rather than the churro maker; increase the size of the wooden mold from a single blank to 4 wide (or however many you want) and have the interior routed out with a bullnose bit to make the blanks round (or rounder at least). Increase of production speed and reduction of waste. I don't make pens, but I am lazy.

Hey folks, just FYI, catches occur even with crazy glued wood. The cause is the steel blocks are pressing against the brass tube, and NOT the material. If you put a couple spacers in there, nylon washers, rubber, whatever, the bushings will hold the material MUCH tighter. This is not me talking out my ass, I've made many pens. If this trick doesn't work for you, you're not getting pressure on the bushing pieces & the material. Or you've run out of thread on your mandrel? Or you don't have ENOUGH thread on your mandrel to add extra washer bits. If so, make your own mandrel from threaded rod. All these things can be done on a wood lathe or a drill press with enough IMAGINATION.....

make a mould using silicone some can be up to 230c n have seen some for 300c heat resistant, once emptied fill it up with Hdpe fragments (smaller the better mine are less then 1 mm x 1mm) pour it into the mould but just enough to create a layer and with a heat gun hit it on a top setting OUTSIDE with a fan blowing away from you but not gonna interfere with your hdpe fragments, then like a 3d printer whilst its still hot pour in the next layer of hdpe and blast with heat n do over n over till finished, or fill up the mould all the way and place in an ART only oven (easy bake). Although hard not impossible you can paint hdpe look up "plastic annealing" or kissed by flame then painted its not 100% but its damn close.

@Brothers Make: simple improvement suggestions for your personal safety on the lathe. I assume you already know all the safety procedures and safety equipment. This suggestion is intended to make your work both easier and safer in the process. The suggestion: use a polycarbonate or other clear plastic capable of acting as a safety shield between the object you are lathing and your vision. I still recommend using safety goggles anyway. I also suggest making a vacuum tube and hose that sits directly behind your work area so as to collect as much of the debris as possible to reduce time spent cleaning and keep your work space clear. This should reduce waste due to dust accumulation on the plastic shavings. You could also just wash them before use but this suggestion is intended to remove that requirement entirely. I thought about using an empty clear soda bottle for this, but decided that wasn't safe enough for your application. Anyway, do with this whatever you want. I think it would be cool to use recycled plastic for the entire concept.

More jagged edges on the churro blanks? Huh. I'm not a turner (will be soon because ... obsessed), but I would think it would be easier to turn a multi-sided blank than a square one. Yes, there are more straight sides you need to round, but square wood is a whole lot chunkier. What say you? What if I made a jig to round the blank on a bandsaw first? Think that would save any time, or is turning faster no matter what? I'm guessing turning is faster on whole. Are you sure you had your bank chucked up tight? I mean, the blanks shouldn't get "stuck" no matter what shape. But I know little, so I want to learn.

Yep it was chucked up tight. But HDPE is a slippy material and will always loosen more so than wood. I’d say overall it’s still quicker on the lathe, it’s just something to be aware of as we found it slipped more that the cylindrical blank 👍🏽

Make sure to wash the milk caps well, otherwise it all smells of cooked milk! The plastic itself doesn't smell. Unless it gets too hot.

Man I wish I had the space and money to have a workshop filled with tools but I can't even afford to fix the destroyed engine in our car that is Toyotas fault that they refuse to pay for.
