Alex... get a featherboard, your too young to go without fingers!

Congrats on the business, go to school for business, it looks like your gonna need it...I bet youll have a great shop when you get older and you'll do good...because I said so. lol And keep your head straight, stay focused but also, go have some fun. Make loads of friends and keep doing your wood working. Do you turn anything else? bowls? vases? Good luck in your future, I wish you all the best in the world!

alex just saw your video. it's good to see a young man willing to do good work so he will be a productive member of the US. Keep going you will be a millionaire one day! I would like to get more information of how to buy one of your pens. do you have a catalog yet?

I am unable to view the video. No video showing on my end...

Like all the others who have commented, Alex is talented and creative. His pens are beautiful, and can inspired other creative people to do that which they thought might be impossible. Yes, it is obvious that his family does not lack money--parents are probably both professionals. However, this does not take about from this young man's drive; for so many young people today take things for granted and do not value money. Obviously his family has taught him the value of working! I am an avid fountain pen collector (retired), and would love to purchase one of his pens, not because he needs the money, but to support any young person with such dedication.

Excellent video, and great workmanship. From what i seen in the video (shop and equipment and you) woodworking isn't a minor hobby in your family, and your talent shows in the quality and care you put into your work, excellent.

Hello.
It's good idea to gluing differents woods for making pen.
Thank you to showing video how to make it.

Alex,

Thank you so much for sharing your video and "pens for college" project with all of us. First of all, I want to say how refreshing it is to see someone your age as a woodworker. Seeing young men and women your age in a woodworking shop gives me hope for the future.

Secondly, I have to say, most students don't have access to the resources/workshop such as you. I'm sure your father is an accomplished woodworker and has helped guide you. Another wonderful part of your story.

So, do you attend public school, private school or are you homeschooled? My guess is homeschool.

Thanks again for bringing smiles to our faces!
Rick
