If you got a lathe Zed, you could turn pens.

Fight that temptation Zed.
IanW and alastair are the devil.
I actually have a lathe. My brother gave it to me. I have it hidden in a corner. Fortunately it is a home made version that looks like it would take a lot of work to get it working reasonably.
I don't want to start another type of woodworking until I am half competent at what I am attempting. Plus I haven't bought all the tools I need for this one yet.
Turning would take up some valuable shed space and I would end up with another truck load of new toys.
How often do you need round things anyway?
I am really happy when I can get things square.
Besides, jigs are fun to make.Scally
