Well, it has been quite the year, still waiting for an operation on my left hand (amazing how difficult life can get one handed) :thinks:

5 months now and the operation to correct a previous mistake has been cancelled 4 times, not been able to turn anything, the bigger stuff isn't to much of an issue, but holding the chisel and turning... Tried and nearly took my head off :noway1:
Hopefully be sorted in the new year, and get both hands back, so wishing all of my fellow turners and pen makers a fantastic Christmas and so love seeing your creations.

Same to you Colin hope you have good news in the coming year for your surgery. As I know it’s a bit of a pain I only have three fingers and a thumb on my left hand.I also would like to wish everyone a happy Christmas and a happy new year

Merry Christmas!

Have you considered switching to carbide? Wide square rods don't need much left hand involvement and register very well against the toolrest. No risk of catches if your RH control is good. Always good presentation of the cutter to the surface. Hardly any skill involved ;)
