I do believe your getting the hang of it…......

Rikkor,

I can see that you have really caught the pen bug. :)

These are nice pens. I can well understand the attraction with wanting to turn them.

I don’t guess I am going to be able to talk you out of the lathe after all. You are going to make me go out and buy one aren’t you? :)

Thanks for the post.

Scott, Free advice, and worth every penny of it: Go get the lathe. Just step away from the computer and go get the lathe. (And the turning tools, and the face plate, and the drill chuck, and the jaw chuck, the pen blanks, the pen kits, the finishes.) Your first pen should cost about $600.00.

$600 sounds cheap to me. Nice looking pens.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

Very nice pens. I’ve become a fan recently of the slimline kits and making them ‘different’ in some way, these are great. I think that ‘first pen’ price estimate is right on!

Great job Rikkor. Looks like you are waiting for the “Traveling Pen Blanks” to show up.

I don’t think that first pen price is all that far off!!
These two look nice. I like the shape. You were able to add a little something with out making them look “pregnant”. I can’t say I’ve always been able to do that…

Hey, I’m next in line. I am getting excited.

Darryl; When I first tried adding a little heft to the business end I, of course, made them too big for a while. I (mostly) cured myself of it, though.

Rikkor – nice pens. What type of wood did you use?

The lower one is Lignum Vitae, the upper one (the guy at Rockler told me) was Kingwood.
