Harry you dog you! Congrats buddy. Hey, that lathe appears to be the same lathe I have with a different name on it. It will work great bud and just find time! Your going to need one more thing.. a 60 degree live center for turning pens and anything but will ruin the end of your pen mandrell. You should be able to get one from Carbatec. Get some scraps 1 x 1's or 2 x 2s and just practice turning them down etc.
Let me know how that dremel arbor and blade works. One question what do you put that in, the drill press? I might have to pick one of them up and I see bob is using that as well. I guess Santa came early to Ozland

P.S. harry what the hell is that round thing on the turn tool box ?
