If thats a first go, don't stop now, you've got something going there.:2tsup:

Nice going. How big is the project?

[torchwood]

Thank you,
It's approx 6 1/2" x 2" . I only drilled a 1/2" hole in the top as I'm having a hard time trying to locate a scroll chuck for my Woodman WL240 lathe, as it has a 11/2" x 6 TPI spindle thread. One will turn up eventually I guess. Cheers

Noice!!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

TW - you should be able to get an adaptor to fit your spindle and screw this into your chuck.

Are you going to try and make pens until a chuck turns up?

[torchwood]

Hi artme yes, trying to find an adapter, still all new to all this, I'm sure I'll find one soon
Christos, no, I'll just keep practicing with the chisels to learn how they all work. Cheers
