Well I still have a rack of pen blanks waiting to be turned but the blank trimmer is still AWOL, come own up who's got it? :roll: I will be ordering a new one this week and can almost guarantee that the two I already own will appear once I have used the new one.
So I tried making an all wood pen in using the drill I bought from Reg Slack
It looks OK but I will make the next one a lot slimmer, this is quite chunky.
I had a light pull drive given to me at Christmas and had not tried it out so an off cut of African black wood from a pen blank (yet to be turned :evil: ) was first up, very hard but took a really good finish, then purple heart, colour is still a bit off. Finally I was going to do another yew pen but the side blow out when I started to drill it so change of plan and a slim line pull from the end of the blank.
