Hi,
About 18 months ago I had a go at pen turning, http://ift.tt/1mhCzJQ and was bitten by the bug.
Three or four weeks ago, I bought a second hand Leda MC 1100, maybe a bit of overkill for turning pens, but it blends in well with all my other Leda machinery.
I bought a Robert Sorby Starter set from Jim Carroll, A 100mm Scroll Chuck from Leda & a Pen Mandrel & a few Pen 1 kits from Cabatec.
Yesterday, I cut a couple of blanks & drilled them & glued in the brass. As it turned out, I didn't do a great job of this .....
Today I had my first solo go Pen1.jpg seems this is not as easy as you guys make it look. Actually, this pen was probably doomed before I destroyed it. The blank was too long & I can't remember what the bloke showed me to do there, but I was dying to try out mynew kit so I just had to have a go at something. I didn't let a little thing like diaster stand in the way, I decided to try & turn down most of what was left & try to salvage the brass. that worked, so I did have a bit of luck.
