Hi All
Here we go first attempt ever at turning pens, I have only had my lathe a short time and have just about assembled all the basic tools required to have a go.
So be kind here it is.
People have said they like pics so here's a few.
Made a quick set of clamps to aid drilling the blanks.
marked up ad about to drill.
