Thanks! I inherited my father’s lathe but had never used one before, so my neighbor helped me get started. I think I’m gonna like the dark side!

Looking good Steve. Looks like the neighbor is a good teacher.
I think maybe you own him a pen ;-)

Great job on your first pen, careful they are addicitve. Christmas coming soon, they make great gifts. I like to make pens from scraps from my bigger projects.

Great first pen! I just got my first lathe about a month ago as well… hang on, it’s going to be a fun ride! :D
