Hello Everyone,

I'm Dave and I'm 76 years old (retired mech. engineer, and college lecturer), getting over throat cancer.

I've been playing about on the wood lathe for a couple of months now and started turning pens after a mate gave me a beginner's kit.

Just like geoff, the mandrill wouldn't fit my spindle, so I turned a (rough) MT1 internal in a circular block and chucked it up.
