Good friend sent me a blank from the US of A all the way round the world to sunny down town Jerilderie.
I left the might metropolis of Jerilderie, population 800 or there abouts and went to Melbourne population 3 million. I took my lathe, blank and cutter.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/13/ujy8azyj.jpg
With limited tools I had to make do. I had some carbide tip 'chisels' for pen making but no handles. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/13/ypevy7y2.jpg
Neither did I have much for mounting work so I used a Jacobs chuck once one end was finished. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/13/byrahety.jpg
Then it was time to to apply the rest of the finish - UBeaut Shellawax http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/13/upu6e2u8.jpg
And lastly screw it all together http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/13/hepupy3e.jpg
Now .... Time for pizza night
