Excellent as usual George.

I have to ask, do you do these teeny pieces on the VB, or do you use a smaller lathe?:thinks:

thank you for all your comments

yes I only have the vb, I did have a 1014 for a while when I was making a lot of pens but I got rid of it.
I bought a 3520b for small stuff but the bearings and casting were rubbish so it went back.

Lovely work George - is the shape something you have recently started using or have you always used it?
