Like father like son 😀

So my son and his family came over today and he joined me in the workshop and turned his first pen. He’s never played with a lathe before- but he’s a natural I reckon! It was great to have some lad and dad time together and he is now a pen turner result! Pics show him at work and the result of his labours

Good bit of bonding, Alex.
Tell him that he's made a very nice pen for a first attempt.

Thanks Alan, will do.

That's very impressive as a first pen, it must be the work of a good teacher... I can see he also took the front down further, a much more pleasing shape.
Very well done.... He should be a more frequent visitor

Yes I encouraged him to be brave when taking the shape down to the nib bit of my own medicine!
