    Default Newbie first pens

    Long time lurker, new poster

    Received a MC900 for fathers day (I have had a CNC router for a few years, but have wanted a lathe for as long as I could remember).

    Not perfect by any stretch, but I am happy with my first go. I decided to give them a little shape instead of being straight. The beads were done from offcuts from an acrylic blank.

    I think I am hooked.
