Hi all.
Been lurking on the site for a few weeks now, and thought I'll say hello.

Got a Axminster 305 lathe last xmas, after watching a pen maker at a country show last year.
Really enjoying it, and looking at some of the great work out there , I've got a long way to go.

Just tried to post a photo of the last ones I made, 2 serria's and 2 pencils made with SS Great Britain wood. Done as presents for the family, as they all get pens now at birthdays, .

Think you have to have a certain number of posts before you can post photos. Hope you enjoy your stay.......

Thanks everyone.
It is indeed an addiction and a very costly one too or at least to get set up with tools etc, but it's fun .
And it gets me away from the wife watching corrie and Emmerdale .
