Brother's first pen

[brody2123]

I had my brother in law round last night and he turned this. This is only the second time he's even stood at a lathe and I think he's off to a good start. We had a few beers and a laugh. Good times. I can see it in his eyes though, he's already hooked

He has had a good teacher. Excellent first effort !!!!

That's a good first attempt. But as Terry says "a good teacher"

Keep your eye on your gear as I am sure that the Brother in Law will be wanting his own set up after the success with that pen.Vic

A good point Vic. I must keep sn eye on him. Maybe get him followed while I'm at work just to be sure there are no funny shenanigans

This is a cracking pen for a beginner, but of course it is easy to see he was well coached ..
