I recently broke down and purchased the new Steel City granite midi lathe and started to learn how to turn. Shame on all you turners out there for not letting us know how wickedly fun this is!!
First picture: (l to r) two slimlines pens, one acrylic, one unknown species of wood. Center is an artist pencil out of acrylic. The last two are Wall Street two click pens, on of purpleheart, the other plasticized corn cob.
The next two pictures are of perfume atomizers, one of purpleheart and one of acrylic.
By the way, I am very impressed with the Steel City Lathe, and need to do a review of it.
Thanks for looking.

Pens are addictive and can make you a quick buck or two if you work in an office…...

Nice Job, Rich!!
As far as turning goes, you’ve crossed over the edge and there is no way back- just sit back and enjoy the slide!

Welcome to the wonderful and addicting world of turning. I’m a huge fan of the artist pencil kits, and your perfume atomizers are an inspiration to me to make a few kits for gifts. Well done! Now, sharpen your chisels and get to more turning!!
