Delta Pen & Pencil Set

[Vic Perrin]

Turned these yesterday using a Sorby Micro Spindlemaster that I found in the back of one of the cupboards. Quite like the Spindlemaster.

Nice looking pens Vic. The chrome goes well with the white and black acrylic.

I am sure I have a spindlemaster somewhere that I bought so I could include it when I wrote my book. Never used it since but it does work well on acrylic.

Exits to workshop to look for disused spindlemaster.

Would never have thought to use a spindle master to turn a pen. Did you turn it upside down and use the flat on the tool rest?

Really like the blank. Great looking set.

No mate just used it as it is designed to be used it cuts acrylic a treat

Saw these on FB and they are great....lovely match of acrylic and plating great choice.
I have used a spindlemaster on acrylic and find it really good

Lovely pair you've got there Mark, I'm talking about your pens of course!

Like the Corian pens the finished articles are down to you Vic did you change tools at all or like all of us use the one main tool. Conspiracy theories abound on the sharpening angle, presentation of the tool, speeds used. Whatever combination you put forward was a success, neat pair.

It's not Corian Peter it's Acrylic. The tool I used from start to finish is a Sorby Spindlemaster.
Sharpening could not be any simpler all you do is rub the flat side of the tool across a plate or stone.

Great looking pair there Vic.

WARNING do not used a Sorby Spindlemaster on mulga it will never cut again.

Sorry after the talk of other tools I had the wrong name for your Spindlemaster Vic, I have two different sizes of them. Found them over the years handy but much slower than a gouge to use. I sharpen mine around the radius with a diamond file. Your acrylic units are delightful. They look great in the black presentation box.

A very nice set Vic. Never tried a spindlemaster just used a very sharp skew. I might experiment one of these days.
