Hi to all
Meny thank for the welcome, comments and observations good and not so good. We are all entitled to to are opinions which is refreshing and not the first time I have been put in my place and i am sure it will not be the last time. lol
About the photo of the pen on the grotty key board, I had the pen in front of me, on said key board, while on the web and noticed it showed the texturing effect well, so i snapped it and used it only to show the effect as best I could.
Woody is correct it is an old Ambassador kit i had lying around, with no intensions of selling it and to my surprise i sold it last evening with a fountain pen nib and cartridge. (I improved the finish after showing it in the forum.) As some one said the customer is alway right.
I am still a lover of CA finish (but i do use it from time to time) if the customer asks for it. My biggest concern is the novice turner uses it with out being aware of the possible danger. I have a friend, an experienced turner who applied some CA to a revolving piece on his lathe, forgot to put his safety glasses on and you've guested it, got some in his eye and straight to A and E.
Anyway onwards and upwards, back to the workshop.
Yoall have a good day.
