Lathes....

Very nice Corey. I am curious, how much did you invest in pen making supplies and equipment? I thought this would be a fun project but all the tools required damped my enthusiasm.

Mike, way to much it isn't cheap but it can be done cheaper than I did. I don't know the exact number but I know it is much more than I paid for the lathe which was only 159.00 new. They see yah coming on this one.

Corey

Oh my corey, your projects are very amazing! I really like your goblet and pen, thank you for sharing.

Also, last night I was curious, and I was wondering, do you think this forum needs a sub-forum where wood turners can show off their projects and freely upload images?

Mark, Show and tell works for all types of projects. We all appreciate a nice project.

Mark, thanks for the kind words. To answer your question unless you want it that way, I don't think so. Normally I would have posted any new project including a turned one in the Show N Tell. I just posted these in here to kind of help get this forum going if that is ok. Thanks again,

corey

Not a problem Corey, I just wanted to confirm with you and see if you wanted anything setup.

Also, did you add your amazing projects to this months contest? If not, I suggest you do, check out the Forum Contests forum.

Just my 2 cents

A Sub Forum would be great, it would save alot of time, many of the show & tell items get push back and it's hard to find them sometimes, in this way all the lathe items would be in one spot more or less

And I think many of the turners will go right to this spot right off bat.

Mark, I guess I wasn't sure if more than 1 project is allowed. I can sure do that and thanks again. As far as a sub folder it doesn't matter to me as I am fine whatever you do, but if we do a seperate shown tell for the turning section than you can make an arugment for same in router, scroll saw etc. I kind of like the idea of seeing all projects in one area myself and see all the diverse projects but I am fine with whatever you decide.

Corey

Mark,

Where Corey and I come from it is pretty standard to post our picture in the thread at hand. Just old habits, but if we need to change that habit, please let us know.

Mike, there are 2 ways to get into pen turning. The expensive way, by buying a lot of the tools and accessories needed or one can make many of the jigs and accessories and hold the expense down considerably.

If you are really interested, let Corey or myself know and we can mentor you along on the list of needs and how to get there by saving lots of money.

Keep up the good work Corey. Don't let little big Red set very long. lol
