Thread: standing time at last

Should be happy with those, just the fact you could do them at all should please you , that diamond wood can be challenging as well hehe, nice work especially the finish on the walnut cheers ~ John

Nice work all of them, I particularly like the walnut one.

Fantastic group of pens Michael. The finish is also spot on !.

Nice work Michael, they all look great.
Well done and thanks for sharing.

Nice work Micheal

Looking good Michael. Thats a great finish on the carbatec pen.

Great pens Michael. Like you, I have a terrible time with back and legs. A few weeks ago I went to my local foam and rubber shop to see what they had in "comfort "mats. Bought one that had bubble type nodules. Best $29 I ever spent. I have very little pain now. I priced some up to $100 but decided to try the cheaper one first
. Good luck
Shirley.

great pens mate, thanks for sharing em, my fav is the walnut, and i have some i think, what was it like to turn?

Shirley I already have foam floor mats in front of the lathe to stand on. Its been there for a year . I just cant stand longer than 10-20 mins before the legs go numb and I need to sit down for a while. I have also tried a high bar stool to sit on for the finishing
Neal the walnut turns ok but you need to keep your chisels sharp as it does tear easy & likes to break but well worth the effort
