To be honest I don't really care if there are different sized bushes. When I first took up pen turning I knew there was additional costs as I did my homework first, and yes I have to turn on a budget so have found a way round that suits me I make my pens by using tapered bushes and measure and yes I do it all in imperial.

Ok I don't make as many as some but what the heck I enjoy my time turning items be it pens or bowls and even making model and toys.

If I was to be put off by every little bit of cost I would just sit here and do sod all.

I will not make any apologise for the way I think take it or leave it.

And there is my 2 tuppence worth

[QUOTE="Dalboy, post: 306842, member: 449"] To be honest I don't really care if there are different sized bushes.
