    Default Wifes first CA pen (Maple, streamline)

    Big thanks to plantagenon who sent through some delrin rod so I could turn some non-stick bushings. I haven't had a chance to use them yet, but the wife has! First time for her trying out CA as a finish, and I can tell you, the delrin bushings made a world of difference watching her.

    Crummy photo, but its "late" and I can't find the tripod.

    Watch out you could loose your spot. Looks like the good wife has really got the hang of the finishing.

    Haha, its actually "her" lathe, I started turning to share a hobby with her, so if anything she's had to share with me from time to time.

    Upside for her is that she can bully me into sharpening all the chisels for her.

    VikingCode is quite the useful chisel sharpener, which almost makes up for him being a sneaky photo-poster.

    Do we take it that you are Mrs VikingCode and the producer of great pens?

    You are now sharing another past time with your other half.

    Correct! She squirmed when I showed her this thread, and she has started to try and hide the egg cup she's now turning.
