Lovely pen Jim. They seem to be a bit far a few nowadays from most people.

It is a long time since i turned a few pens, got four done today and a couple ready, it seems that all i have been doing is plodding about in the shed, yesterday i removed the dust extractor from the lean-to and put the one from the shed in its place ready for a new one coming tomorrow .. I had what seemed like a thousand little jobs that needed doing over the last few weeks so i was on with them mostly ... Hopefully i am now back on track for making pens ........ And maybe some other objects... :thumbs:

Thanks for the comments guys ..
