From Bad to Worse

[Garno]

I tried the other kit I had of a shock absorber pen, whilst turning it near the finish my hand twitched.



The good news is that I found a 3rd kit to go at.
I will give it a try once I get better at making the pens using callipers.

You've been drinking too much coffee, Gary.

Just mount the tube back on the lathe and turn off the knackered wood.... 3rd time lucky hopefully you'll be in for a shock

Like I said in your other post Gary. Practice your techniques with cheap timber. Just learn turning, you don’t need to make anything in particular.

Just get a piece scrap on your lathe and get your skew, and practice turning it from square to round, thats how I tought my self. dont let a few dig in scare you, just change your undies and keep going.
